Chapter 85: The CIH Virus Outbreak
A few months ago, on April 26, there was a small outbreak of the CIH virus, which did not cause much impact in China, where computers were not yet widely used, and there were not many poisoners.
However, since June 26th, CIH version 1.1 and version 1.2 have appeared one after another, and these two virus upgrades have changed the virus onset time from April 26 of each year to the 26th of each month.
Zhang Yi noticed that on some BBS, there were posts about users asking for help. As time passed, more and more people asked for help, and it even became a spread.
In his previous life, he saw a lot of reports about the CIH virus attack, but he was just a bystander and didn't have a personal computer, so he didn't feel anything. Unexpectedly, after being reborn, as a practitioner, I experienced these again, and the results caused by this virus turned out to be so serious.
Through GitHub, I searched for the source code of some hard disk recovery software, and then, the function was reorganized and optimized, adding automatic logging and other functions, and it took a total of two days to test, encrypt and encapsulate.
After everything is perfect, we send the software price, how to use it and install the software to all dealers by email.
Subsequently, he personally drafted a letter and pushed it to all users on the VV chat software.
So on the VV software, everyone saw the red emergency message for the first time, and after clicking on it, they saw a prompt:
Dear users, hello everyone, I am the author of the micro-hardware and software series, recently, the CIH virus has spread wildly, causing serious losses to everyone.
If you are a user of micro hardware input method, player, compression software or micro hardware software CD, please do not worry, all the company's software works have security components, this security component, will be completely immune to the harm of CIH virus, so that your computer hardware, software and key data will not be affected in the slightest.
In addition, for customers who have been infected with the virus, the company provides the following solutions: the company will provide technical solutions after 24 hours, by the agents of micro hardware and software around the world, to help you kill the virus and rescue the data on your hard disk. The list of agents and contact numbers in various places are as follows, in no particular order.
At the end of the urgent notice, a list of all agents is densely listed.
The dealer who received the email, according to the installation instructions, after the software was successfully installed, was tossed by the constantly ringing consultation phone before he had time to familiarize himself with the use of the software.
Immediately afterwards, the micro-hardware and software dealers around the country were completely overwhelmed by the surging crowd. This happened in Shangjing, in Guangdong, in Shanghai, and in Haijin. Looking at the dying computers, the units and individuals who could not save themselves finally saw a glimmer of hope to save them from the dire situation.
In the business offices of various dealers, they have been crowded to the point that they can't get in, and the people who buy CDs can't squeeze in at all, so they can only look outside the door, stupidly watching the room full of people huddled together.
It's a mess, you can't do anything, the dealer has no choice but to stand on the table, yell, go outside to pay the fee first, and recover the data according to the order of payment.
Hearing this, everyone rushed out of the door, and the room instantly quieted down, and the dealer wiped the sweat on his head, and muttered hatefully: "After reading the price, it is estimated that you will not squeeze!"
In the courtyard, a table was set up, and it was written: "Data recovery, 50 yuan 1M, or 1000 yuan, unlimited capacity." β
When everyone saw it, they took a sharp breath, and some people directly shouted loudly, "The price is too expensive, and the heart is too dark!"
The toll collector looked at the most noisy guys with disdain, and said directly: "There are people outside who charge 80 yuan 1M, and there is no guarantee that it will help you recover successfully, the company promises that in addition to the computer hard disk that has been repeatedly written many times after poisoning, the others guarantee 100% successful recovery of data." If you don't want to recover, just leave, no one begs you! However, I remind you, the hard disk that has been recovered by others has a high chance of not being recovered, how to decide, you consider it yourself!"
One of the impulsive guys said to himself: "It's a pity that I have collected a large number of precious film sources, so many years of hard work!"
Hearing this, everyone looked disdainful and stayed away from his side.
Damn, everyone is here to recover all kinds of important data, and it's disgusting that you take a bunch of these things to recover.
The joke made by B-B on the outside did not affect the process of recovering data.
The person who had already paid the fee entered the room with the computer in his arms. The technician connects the user's hard disk, boots up, opens the software, selects the 1000 yuan package or the M billing according to the wizard, and then, selects the user's hard disk drive letter, antivirus, scans the files, recovers the files, and then transfers them to the hard disk.
Although the recovery speed of the software has been optimized, the data recovery time of a user can add up to about 10 minutes. After solving a user, the recording function on the software interface will pop up an accumulator, and the number of users restored will appear in the accumulator.
If there are savvy dealers, they want to copy the software to other computers, and if they don't connect to the Internet, won't they be able to avoid the per-time charging function of the micro-hardware software company? In that case, wouldn't all the money received be their own?
Just do it,Copy the software to another computer,Connect to the user's hard disk,Double-click to open the software,The software has no reaction,After clicking a few times without believing in evil,A giant man with a big hammer suddenly popped up on the computer,Slammed down on the dealer facing the computer screen,Then,Pop out a line of words:Hahaha,Big fool,Want to rob my money,There is no doorγ
Then, the software on the desktop disappears as if it never existed.
Chinese people, in order to make more money, have always been a model of brain-opening, seeing that there is no computer with a network, can not run software, then directly network is not enough.
After the network, the software can run and can be used normally, but the function of counting the number of times is counted together with the original computer. For example, after this computer is restored, the number is 1, and after the other computer is restored, the number jumps directly from 0 to 2, which makes people have no loopholes to exploit.
After a busy day, the dealer has to immediately remit the money to the account designated by the micro-hardware software, and there are also dealers who are lucky, thinking about remitting money the next day, after all, such a huge profit, no one wants to honestly hand it over.
The dealer who didn't remit the money, but the next day found that the software couldn't run at all, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, the person who developed the software was a good person, and he didn't let others drill any loopholes.
The use of the software was forwarded to Zhang Yi through the backdoor program reserved in the software, and he was clear about the dealer's careful thoughts.
It is understandable that people will be destroyed if they don't do anything, but people who play smart can only cry out in vain in the face of technical barriers.
People's hearts are separated from their bellies, you can't make everyone a saint, and technical means are just to prevent villains and not gentlemen. No matter what the charging method, he and the dealer each account for 5%. He doesn't earn this money, but others earn it, and through technology, the interests of dealers around the world are bundled with micro-hardware and software, and an environment where everyone wins, which is the true meaning of doing business.
Hello, I'm good, everyone, this business can last for a long time.
