Chapter 765: A Bug
"It's not a computer virus or a hacker attack, it's their system that crashes. There is no problem with our Oracle system.
Moreover, this is just the beginning, as the new millennium approaches, all computer systems will run into big trouble, and we, we have the complete solution. ”
Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, spoke eloquently into the TV camera, not only hacking the opponent's system, but also selling his new toy by the way.
"Damn, it seems like there's a real problem. ”
"Yes, boss, our IT engineers have tested it, and the computer has no way to recognize it. Those systems that automate billing will give an unbelievable bill.
If it weren't for the abundance of time, the boss, this would be unimaginable. Securities, banks, bosses, this will be a global disaster. ”
When Andy said this, the sweat came down. There's still plenty of time, Nima, if no one finds out in advance......
"Andy, according to you, we also have a big problem with our servers. ”
"Yes, boss, all calculations will be restored to their original state. Our financial staff may need to learn how to use the abacus. ”
"Tsk, could it be that the Citi incident was really just an accident. It's not such a coincidence. ”
At the same time, it is not only Da Mo who is confused. Greenspan has a headache right now, Nima, what is this, if the banking system in the United States is paralyzed, this is going to be a big thing.
"Have you tested it?"
"Mr. Greenspan, we have tested the White Bank system and they have no problem at all. Ahem, what, they updated the system half a year ago.
As for the firewall, they refused. Our IT staff thinks it's compared to our system. This is not a product of the era at all. ”
"Of course it's two eras, and now it's okay, that oracle should soar into the sky. ”
"Yes, when we went, we ran into the guys from Bank of America and Bear Stearns.
The civilian part is not much of a problem, and those computers for military use, they are more troublesome. NASA also issued a warning, and manned space flight was also halted. ”
The topic of millennium insects is more concentrated at the top. The people don't pay much attention to this thing. Besides, they don't care about what is said on TV.
The popularity of computers is actually very limited. As for whether you will receive an exaggerated bill, this is even less of a problem. The big deal is not to pay, and there will come a time when you will figure it out.
Of course, Oracle's stock immediately soared 13.5%, which is also a must. First proposed, first solved, tsk, this company's technical strength is very strong.
If anything, William White this guy is a jerk. Then, Larry Ellison, who is known as the madman of Silicon Valley, is even less popular.
The verbal language of this thing is, don't say it, what you say is wrong, forget about that. Now, listen carefully to me.
"Larry, is it as exaggerated as you say?"
"Steve, you can't imagine that the first time I saw this thing, I was almost scared to pee.
Banks are paralyzed, telecommunications networks are paralyzed, power grids are paralyzed, nuclear power plants are out of control. Damn, that's the scene in Terminator. ”
Some people say that like gathers like, and this actually makes sense. Joe has the same stinky temper, but he has a good relationship with Larry Ellison. These two guys are also absolutely different in Silicon Valley.
"Speaking of which, you've been working on this thing for a while. ”
"It's natural, if not too much of an impact, it's best to announce it a few years later. However, my suggestion was rejected, and William White argued that there were simply not enough computers to handle in two years. ”
Actually, Larry Ellison overestimated William White's temperance. This so-called millennium insect will sooner or later be noticed. Now it is the most appropriate to take it out to scare people.
Coupled with the Citi factor, this Nima is really cool.
Don't think that it will only happen in 2,000 years. Intrusion into a server to tamper with the date will serve a similar purpose. For banks, it's a matter of urgency.
In order to keep the bugs, a group of bigwigs have their hair standing on end. They don't know what's going on with this computer. For them, it's just a typewriter and a computer.
"Damn, who invented this thing, why is it 1 and 0. Is there still eight numbers to watch?"
Well, the problems of the old guys, the technicians don't know and dare not say, and as for the Wall Street elite in suits and leather shoes, they also show that they are only at a loss.
"Ahem, old man, that's what semiconductors are. At that time, it was an array of transistors, and now, it's just a change of material.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but nothing will change in the short term. ”
"Paul, you mean, it's always been like this?"
"Yes, 1 for open and 0 for closed. That's how it was from the day computers were invented. You should be glad if this happened in '99. ”
Paul Walker didn't go on and said that none of the people sitting here were stupid. They are all vested interest groups, and how to maintain the steady development of this society is what they are most concerned about.
Indeed, the situation is not too bad now. Now that you have a solution, you can buy it directly. As long as money can solve the problem, it is usually not a problem.
You Oracle can solve it, and so can we. The only difference is that we're going to be a little bit slower.
Of course, the Wright system showed off its technology, but it was also very amazing. There are all kinds of indications that this group of bastards has known for a long time, but they just deliberately didn't say it.
Similar to what William White thought, the first thing that couldn't sit still was the bank. Through this time, they found out that Oracle's software is very good, and the firewall is also very good.
If you look at Citi's firewall, it's a virtual reality. The funniest thing is that it actually attacked the CIA's servers.
From this, they can tell that Citi's servers have been hijacked at all.
Nima, this is terrible. If there is a widespread paralysis of the financial system, this life will not be possible.
As for who did it, ahem, this topic is too taboo. If you dare to talk nonsense, even those lawyers will make you a dilemma of life and death.
The richest man goes to be a hacker, let's not bring such a funny thing, even if you go out and say so, someone has to believe it.
In this world, there are indeed many hackers who like to do things everywhere. In order to show off their skills, they don't care how many laws they break.
However, they had a hard time during this time. The FBI is looking for them, and the consortium is looking for them.
In less than a month, those guys who have been famous for a long time have basically disappeared, and even if a more powerful guy appears, he will soon be co-opted.
Seeing this, the FBI was also speechless. Citi also urged them to solve the case, Nima, it is difficult to find someone to blame now.
They wanted to figure it out, and the consortium even wanted to do it. This group of old guys has also figured out that the most valuable things in their own house are all in the computer.
And this thing, for some people, is simply undefended.
Now it's even better, the system uses someone else's database, and the firewall also uses someone else's. Whether this thing is reliable or not, of course they need to test it.
