Chapter 337: The Crisis of Antivirus Software Companies
In fact, there are not a few people like classmates with dark circles who get up early in the morning and get such a big gift.
Most of them didn't watch TV, and they didn't pay attention to the antivirus software's prompts.
After all, the war between the virus and QQ is too widespread.
As long as it is a user who has downloaded QQ, every day when it goes online, it will be warned by the pop-up window of the virus dying.
Over time, everyone will subconsciously ignore this kind of pop-up warning with a red exclamation mark, and the first reaction when they see this pop-up window is to close it, and they will not carefully read what is said on it.
It is precisely for this reason that the pop-up warning of the virus is really insignificant.
As a result, these unsuspecting users are frequently tricked.
In addition to these people who were not alerted to the virus, there are many people who know about it who are also infected.
This type of person basically belongs to the kind of people who are pitted by acquaintances.
They learned about the virus through the news or online channels, and they also knew that the virus spread through files.
If a stranger, or someone in a friend who hasn't been in touch for half a month, sends them a file, they will not open it 100%.
However, if the document was sent to them by their parents, or by their crush, then this will often make them lower their guard, and then click on the document with trust in their parents and crush.
In this way, it is naturally easy to get hit.
In addition, there are many people who are on the Internet and find that some of the Weibo they follow have been updated, and then they run to click on the file to watch it with the luck that there should be no virus on the public Weibo, and this click has led to a virus in their computer.
Of course, this does not only apply to Weibo, but also to various post bars, or the official websites of some companies that have been breached by viruses, as long as you click on a file that contains a virus, without exception, your computer will be infected.
By noon, the number of people infected by the virus had exceeded 30,000.
And most importantly, it looks like the situation is going to spread badly.
Such a bad incident naturally aroused the attention of the whole country.
Someone from the Huaxia Cyber Security Bureau appeared on the news at noon and explained the situation to the people of Huaxia.
This virus incident was caused by the joint efforts of foreign hackers.
The 135 hackers who attacked Huaxia Network yesterday have been confirmed by them to be the true identities of 67 of them.
Blatantly provoking the majesty of a permanent member of the United Nations and causing such a bad impact is the international equivalent of a declaration of war between two countries.
In response to this situation, all the countries involved in the membership reacted immediately, first deeply shocked by what happened to Huaxia, and then declared that this matter was definitely not their official meaning.
Then they said that if a citizen of their country made a mistake, they would never tolerate it.
In the end, one by one, countries that have been confirmed to IP have dispatched official forces to arrest those hackers who undermine international peace.
As of the time of speaking, 50 suspects suspected of hacking have been arrested, and after the identities are confirmed, these countries will give Huaxia an explanation.
The person in charge of the Huaxia Cyber Security Bureau only told everyone what happened, but did not tell everyone the specific time when the virus was subdued, nor did he tell everyone where to download antivirus software that can resist this virus.
I just want to tell you that in the recent period, it is best not to click on any documents sent to you by others, and do not click on Weibo or post bars, or some documents on websites.
Because these files may be disguised by viruses.
In addition, the speaker gave the example of a user who browsed the official website of a cosmetics company that had been attacked by a virus and clicked on a photo of a toner, only to be infected by a virus disguised as a photo of a toner.
After the person in charge of the Huaxia Cyber Security Bureau spoke, the program went directly to the press conference of the person in charge of the virus death light company.
At the press conference, the person in charge of the virus told everyone that this virus is a highly harmful variant virus.
So far, the virus has mutated seventy-six times.
And among the seventy-three variants, their company has found a way to kill them, and they only need to update the virus online at any time to resist the attack of most variants of the virus.
As for the remaining three variants of viruses that have not been conquered, the Virus Death Light Company is making every effort to overcome them, and it is expected that within half an hour, all the seventy-six viruses that have appeared so far will be overcome.
Listening to what the spokesman of the Virus Death Light Company said, it seems that the situation has been brought under control, and it will only take half an hour for the virus, which has infected more than 30,000 computers in Huaxia, to come to an end.
But then, a spokesman for the company said that although each variant of the virus will quickly find a solution, the most terrifying thing about this virus is that it will mutate indefinitely.
When you can kill all the seventy-six variants that are now available, maybe there are eighty-six variants in it.
By the time you've killed eighty-six variants, maybe the virus has evolved to a hundred.
So after talking for most of the day, people understood that the meaning of the virus death light company is that their company has no way to take this new virus.
But in the end, the spokesperson of the virus also told everyone that it is not difficult to completely kill this virus.
It is only necessary for the expert group to find the law of virus variants, and then make antivirus software according to this law to block the opportunity of its variants, then the virus is not to be afraid.
It's just that when the reporter asked how much time it would take to find this pattern, the spokesman of the virus death light company still said a conservative estimate of three days after hesitating.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
In just half a day, the Golden Knife virus has infected 30,000 computers.
The direct losses caused by this are as much as tens of millions.
The loss of the profile caused by it is countless.
If you let this virus spread for another three days, that day you will know what will happen.
What's more, who can guarantee that after three days, people will really be able to find a way to contain the little golden knife.
Less than an hour after the press conference, the building in the capital was surrounded by people when the virus died.
The vast majority of these people are users who have purchased a paid antivirus software for the virus to die out.
In the past, when they were fine, the virus died and sucked blood from their bodies.
But now, as soon as there is a crisis, the virus will not be solved.
How can these users be satisfied with such a situation.
Especially the CEO of one of the beverage production companies.
Their company purchased the antivirus software of the Enterprise version of the virus.
The cost of a month is as high as 3,000 yuan, and up to now, it has been used for more than four years, and the total cost is almost 150,000 or 60,000 yuan.
And their company is also unlucky.
In last night's hacker war, they happened to be targeted by hackers.
After breaking through their company's defense network, the source virus was directly planted on their official website.
As a result, their company's network was suddenly paralyzed.
The entire company came to a halt at once.
The fully computer-controlled production line, which was only introduced last year, has also been completely ruined.
Tens of thousands of bottles of beverages can't get up and down the production line, and they can't run.
At the end of the day, the economic losses caused are as much as hundreds of thousands.
If that's all it takes, their company can afford it.
But as a local brand company, they have many customers downstream.
After the address book was stolen by the virus, countless families were infected by the virus because they believed the documents sent by their company.
Now, the door to their company has been blocked by angry subordinates.
And the boss of the beverage company had no choice but to block the door of the virus dead light company.
The defense network they spent tens of thousands of dollars a year failed to play any role, causing their company to be infected by the virus and causing economic losses.
