Chapter 125: One Step Ahead
Nebula Information Technology Co., Ltd., Meng Xiaobai learned about the ransomware outbreak earlier than them.
Because when hackers on the dark web announced cyber attack tools, Meng Xiaobai learned about the situation. This is one of the reasons why he agreed to set up an information security company, so that he can prevent it early.
"Mr. Meng, according to the feedback from the background data, none of the users who have installed our Nebulas Security Manager are infected with ransomware viruses. Qiao Jian reported to him an expected data.
Meng Xiaobai said: "This is predictable. RANSOMWARE VIRUSES MAINLY INVADE USERS OF OLD WINDOWS SYSTEMS THROUGH ADVERTISING LINKS AND SPAM EMAILS, AND THESE OLD WINDOWS SYSTEMS HAVE TOO MANY VULNERABILITIES, AND OUR SECURITY SOFTWARE WILL FIX THESE VULNERABILITIES FIRST, SO RANSOMWARE VIRUSES CANNOT INVADE. ”
"Mr. Meng, what a great opportunity!" Qiao Jian said excitedly, "We can now claim that as long as we install our software, we can defend against ransomware, so won't the number of users skyrocket?"
"Don't worry, update the latest patch before releasing it. Meng Xiaobai said.
"The latest patch, hasn't it just been updated?" Qiao Jian was puzzled, and Meng Xiaobai said: "I have made a patch package that can remove the ransomware virus, and you update it to the software." This way, our software not only protects against ransomware, but also removes ransomware, you know?"
"This ...... Mr. Meng, amazing!" Qiao Jian admired the five-body throw, he was asking the technicians to study how to remove the virus, but he didn't expect the boss to have completed it, this point in time, it is really critical!
The Internet is still talking about ransomware viruses, 3600 founder Duan Yan first stood up, he posted on Weibo and said: "Ransomware has caused a serious violation of our network security, you don't have to worry, 3600 security company is urgently cracking the virus, you can download 3600 security butler for virus prevention first!"
As soon as his Weibo was posted, many people went to download 3600 Security Butler, even if there were no poisoned users, they were also thinking about preventing virus invasion.
"Mr. Duan, the latest news, the emergency team has eyebrows, within 24 hours, we should be able to crack the virus!" his subordinates reported the situation to Duan Yan.
"Okay!" Duan Yanxi smiled, "24 hours, you should be able to catch up with the penguins!"
Now in the domestic security market, Duan Yan's only opponent he can afford is the penguin, the two have had a big war, and now although they are peaceful on the surface, they have actually been fighting openly and secretly.
This time, as long as they crack the ransomware before the Penguin Security Center, they will be able to win big!
However, at this moment, a new message appeared on the hot search on Weibo, and an official account named "Nebulas Computer Security Manager" spent money to post a promotional Weibo, writing an announcement: "Dear Nebulas Computer Security Manager users, hello everyone! At the time of the ransomware outbreak, we have updated the latest security patches to protect your information security. ”
"Anyone who downloads a patch update will be free of ransomware on your computer. Users who have been hit by the ransomware virus can also download our Nebulas Computer Security Manager, one-click antivirus!We promise that we will never damage any of your files and completely remove the virus, thank you for us*****ing!
Because of paid promotion, this information was at the top of the hot search on Weibo, attracting the attention of the majority of netizens.
Round-faced girl: "Has the ransomware been cracked? so quickly?"
Porridge Tree Man: "What kind of software is this, I've never heard of it?"
Santu: "Who has downloaded ????
Ah Fan: "666, it's actually cracked!" (Expression: applause)"
Outsider: "Really? Does anyone know?"
Because the popularity of Nebulas Security Manager is too low, there are still many netizens who don't believe it, they are afraid that after downloading this software on their computers, not only will they fail to remove the virus, but their data will also be deleted!
In the men's dormitory of a university, Xie Zhuo hadn't gone out for four hours, he was so anxious that his papers couldn't be opened, and he couldn't help the virus even a little bit!
"Ahhhh
"My disks, the study materials I worked so hard to amass, the four years of college, one by one, are all high-quality!" the roommate also wailed.
"Haven't you unlocked the disk yet?" asked the computer god in the next dormitory, hearing their wails.
"No, I can't help it. Xie Zhuo complained.
The great god proposed, "Why don't you give the money!" There is a student in dormitory 203 upstairs who sent money to the hacker, and his disk has been unlocked. ”
"Three hundred dollars! Big brother!" Xie Zhuo was distressed, this was a month's living expenses for him, if he gave it to hackers, what would he eat?
"Don't blame me for not reminding me!" said the great god, "This virus is still mutating, and I don't think any company will be able to crack it within a few days." If you still want your own paper, pay for it so that the disk doesn't get wiped out by hackers!"
Xie Zhuo was struggling, did he really have to pay the hackers?
"Look, the Internet says this app can get rid of ransomware!" shouted a roommate playing on his phone.
"What software?" Xie Zhuo and the great god both leaned over, "Nebula computer security housekeeper, haven't heard of it!"
"Let's hype!" said the great god, "the safety housekeeper can use 3600, Penguin and Xinshan, and the rest is garbage." ”
"But some people say it works. Besides, give it a try and you won't be short of a piece of meat. The roommate suggested.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you make a mistake and the information is gone, then you will be unlucky!" the great god reminded Xie Zhuo.
Xie Zhuo struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Try it first!"
After being hit by the ransomware virus, only the disk files were encrypted, and the computer was still usable, so he immediately went online and downloaded this "Nebula Computer Security Manager".
Download, register, open.
After scanning, the software gave a red warning: "Your computer has been detected by a ransomware virus, do you want to remove it immediately?"
"Clear!" Xie Zhuo chose to clear, and then quietly waited for the progress bar.
He thought it would take a long time, but the progress bar didn't stop, and he walked directly, "The ransomware has been removed, and your computer is now very safe." ”
"Is this cleared?" Xie Zhuo himself didn't believe it, a group of people have been tinkering for a long time, and they have used all the security software, how can it be so fast? And this time, the school, 3600, Penguin, and the National Internet Emergency Response Center have all issued announcements, is this software more powerful than them?
"Open it up and take a look!" the roommate urged.
With a skeptical mentality, Xie Zhuo opened his computer disk, and this time, no encrypted files were displayed.
"My paper!" he clicked on his paper, and it was indeed his hard work in the past few months, and not a single punctuation mark was missing.
"It's really cleared!Haha, brothers, the virus has really been removed!This software is a good pen!" Xie Zhuo laughed.
"Really cleared?" the great god also looked at in surprise, "What kind of software is it called, Nebula Computer Security Butler?" Okay, I have to let my friend download it immediately!"
"Where's the download link, give me one!"
"Haha, I'm going to send it to the group, those classmates, now they don't dare to turn on the computer, for fear of poisoning, show off!"
