Chapter 245: A Few Conditions (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After daybreak, the phones in the European Cyber Security Council rang one after another, each operator was explaining loudly to the phone, and some staff members were running with materials in their hands.
As of 6 a.m., a total of 17 government and corporate websites in six countries had been devastated by hackers.
The preliminary statistics of the direct property damage caused by it are more than one billion euros, and the indirect losses are incalculable.
But so far, let alone hackers, not even the source of the attack has been found out, the other party has come and gone without a trace, and all cybersecurity experts are helpless about it.
At this time, the office was packed, and the chairman of the council, Brad Pearce, was listening to a briefing by a group of experts.
"This is a new type of virus, it has the ability to reproduce quickly, the destructive power is very amazing, with the ability of traditional firewalls on the market, it is impossible to prevent the invasion of this virus, let alone kill it!"
In addition, according to the analysis of the invasion method of the virus, we found that there are similarities with the trajectory of the virus found in the Galileo satellite center in 2019, so we have reason to suspect that this is the same group of people. ”
"The last time the virus was in an uncontrollable state, but this time the virus has obviously evolved, not only can it be controlled, but also has self-awareness, once it is applied on a large scale, it will deal a fatal blow to the global cyber demeanor......"
Brad Pierce frowned as he listened to a group of experts express their opinions, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there an effective defense?"
Hearing Brad Pearce's words, the noisy room suddenly fell silent, and everyone stopped talking.
At this moment, an expert said: "The virus that launched this attack should be a smart virus, and at present, only China's Xinghai Technology has the experience of dealing with smart viruses in the world."
At the beginning, ESA also approached them to solve it. ”
Brad Pierce is a German, and Germany is the country that hates China the most in Europe, and in reality, all kinds of anti-H base camps such as "belly rise" and "soy milk" are located in Germany, and they are also funded by the German government and receive a salary every year.
However, Germany has a trade surplus of tens of billions of dollars with China every year, and almost all of China's precision machinery comes from Germany, and the "pragmatic" Germans will not get along with money, causing many people in the wall to think that Germany and China are very friendly.
Because of this, Brad Pierce hates China very much, and naturally hates Xinghai Technology.
But the technology of this company is too powerful, and he knows that once he lets them in, it is tantamount to luring wolves into the house, and those cybersecurity companies in Europe will close their doors sooner or later.
Brad Pearce looked at the swaying leaves of the Kumarosh tree outside the window with a pair of gray eyes, and wondered whether to invite someone from that company to come over.
……
Tel Aviv, Israel.
Carlos used the smart virus to wreak havoc in the cyber world of European countries, and by the way, swept away a lot of money.
As the world's top hacker, Carlos is certainly not short of money, but 110 million euros is also an astronomical amount for him.
His dream was to earn 100 million euros before he retired at the age of 50, and then buy a luxury cruise ship to travel around the world.
I didn't expect to achieve this "small goal" at the age of 30.
After Carlos transferred all the money safely, he couldn't sleep at all in his excitement.
He's already thinking about what he's going to do for the next few minutes.
Tomorrow, fly to the Caribbean Sea "Providenciales", rent a luxury sea view room and a luxury cruise, and then champagne, red wine, whiskey, and most importantly, beautiful and sexy women, everyone carnival, hilarious, drunk and dreaming together.
The thought of such a scene made Carlos so excited that his soul began to tremble, and he couldn't wait to pack his things and go home.
He pulled out his phone to make a call to the owner and partner of the company, who was going to take a month's long vacation.
But just then, he noticed that there were two missed calls on his phone that had been put into silent mode, one at three in the morning and one at seven in the morning.
Look at the area code from China.
Carlos's heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and he even held his breath, and the excitement of just reaching the pinnacle of his life suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The sixth sense told him that the caller should be related to the inventor of the CX language.
Why?
Does the other party know that I have learned the CX language?
How would he know?
Is there a monitor in the CX kernel?
It should be similar to an activation code, as long as someone learns the CX language, the background will know.
Does the other party know that I am using smart viruses to attack websites in European countries?
You must know!
How else would the other party know my phone number?
How could he do that?
Carlos was in a state of great panic and anger.
The fear is that according to what he did, once he is caught, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, and he is angry that the other party actually embedded a monitoring program in the core of the language program.
It took five minutes for Carlos to recover from his shock and panic and call the phone.
The call was quickly connected.
After a few brief greetings between the two sides, Chen Xu got straight to the point and said: "Your skills are good, how about coming to Xinghai Technology to help me?"
Carlos was silent for a while and asked in broken Chinese, "What happens if I don't go?"
Chen Xu on the phone laughed and said: "It's not good! Don't worry, even if you don't come, I won't tell them about you stealing a total of 113,750,000 euros from six financial companies in Spain and Portugal!"
", I knew that. ”
Carlos's heart twitched violently, his chest rose and fell violently, his heart was both angry and helpless, and at the same time he regretted a little, he knew that he would not take the money, so that the other party would not have a handle to blackmail him.
It's just that he got carried away.
Just when Carlos was depressed, Chen Xu asked, "Do you really want to come to Xinghai Technology to do things?"
Carlos organized his words and said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Chen... I've always been lazy, I can't stand the restraints, I... I really went to Xinghai Technology, and I was afraid of making you angry, so I won't trouble you......"
On the phone, Chen Xu pondered for a moment.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Carlos happened to have people and countries he hated among the targets of today's scourge, he would definitely not let this person go easily.
Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, and there will be no third way for him to go!
On the phone, a drop of cold sweat fell from Carlos's forehead, and his life and death were only in Chen Xu's thoughts.
Finally, Chen Xu said: "If you don't come, you won't come! But there are a few conditions. ”
Carlos was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Chen, please speak." ”
"First, don't use the technology you have to go to China to destroy the cyber ecosystem;
second, it is not allowed to engage in business that conflicts with Xinghai Technology;
Third, in the future, all the tasks I have assigned must be completed to the letter.
As for the rest, I'll talk about it later. ”
Carlos immediately said, "I know Mr. Chen. ”
"So be it!"

……
At noon on Christmas Eve on the 24th, when the wave of smart viruses broke out in Europe, Xingjian Technology, a well-known Chinese network security company, issued a risk warning at the same time and upgraded its security products!
The upgraded product can completely block the intrusion of smart viruses.
At the same time, the government units and companies in Europe that have been plagued by smart viruses have finally had to turn to Xingjian Technology for help after being unable to find an effective way to defend against smart viruses!
After analysis, the technicians of Xingjian told them a cruel truth: this is a real intelligent virus, and at present, there is no firewall in the world that can prevent it except for the Xingjian firewall.
If they don't install the Star Sword Firewall, their company's website will be like unguarded in the face of smart viruses in the future.
Their systems, as well as their customer databases, are vulnerable to hackers at any time.
Faced with such a situation, European governments and enterprises and institutions have to choose to compromise.
At the same time, more than 70 member companies of the China Security Alliance, which has a cooperative relationship with Xingjian Technology, have come to seize the European market.
In less than half a month, at least half of the network security business in European countries has been covered by Xingjian Technology's security products.
