In China's Internet world, ransomware viruses are like a flood beast, wreaking havoc in the ocean of networks. www.biquge.info In less than a day, at least 300,000 computer users in China have been infected!

Ransomware viruses are very domineering, and if you are infected with ransomware viruses, you will not be able to manipulate the locked files on your computer. After booting up, the red font screen directly appears, which does not give the user the possibility of operation at all.

In the internal conference room of major cybersecurity companies, many experts are discussing the situation of the new variant of the ransomware, and although they have analyzed the characteristics of some of the new variants, they have not yet known the latest behavior patterns of the virus and the hidden schemes.

A middle-aged man with glasses was in a public office area discussing the latest ransomware variant with a subordinate. Several other experts from the General Administration of the Internet also interjected from time to time.

"Li Zhong, is it possible that this newly mutated ransomware virus is not a single virus, but a comprehensive virus?" The middle-aged man looked at his laptop, and a paragraph of English code was displayed on the screen.

Li Zhong nodded and said, "Wu Ju, I think so too! This newly mutated ransomware virus not only has the characteristics of being highly contagious, but also has extremely strong stealth characteristics! Moreover, it spreads faster than the previous ones, and has strengthened its ability to replicate itself and spread actively!"

"Li Zhong, what do you have a good proposal for the new mutated ransomware virus?" the middle-aged man asked.

Li Zhong smiled bitterly: "Wu Bureau, if you simply clear the ransomware virus, whether it is you or me, it will take five or six days without eating or drinking to study it." However, Director, what we want is not simply to eradicate it, but to develop a set of methods that can crack the virus while keeping the data. And this virus doesn't look like a simple virus outbreak, there must be some unknown conspiracy behind it!"

On the day of the outbreak of the virus, Huaxia officials had already noticed the ransomware and began to try to crack it. The influx of the first-generation virus did not make it much difficult for them to crack the virus, and an ordinary engineer in the internal department cracked the virus in one day.

As a result, the officials of the Huaxia Network Department conveniently notified the masses and began to guard against this new inflow of "ransomware virus", but they were not happy for long, only one night passed, this very inconspicuous virus suddenly broke out, and it carried out a new round of variant updates, which really caught the people of the Cyber Security Bureau off guard!

Then, after some hard work, he also successfully developed a way to resist the second-generation "ransomware virus", but it was not very ideal. Then, before they could catch their breath, the third generation of mutant viruses came again......

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man nodded heavily and said, "That's right! This newly mutated ransomware virus is not simple! Ordinary viruses usually delete or move the data in the hard drive, and then self-replicate a large amount of junk information. However, this ransomware virus did not delete the data on the hard drive, nor did it copy junk information, or even move the data. It only re-encrypts all the data according to certain rules and turns it into encrypted data. If you forcibly delete it, I am afraid that all the data in the hard disk will not be able to be retained at all!"

Li Zhong took over and said: "Yes! Although this kind of data encryption takes a lot of time to calculate, it is not certain whether it can be cracked or not. MOREOVER, AFTER BEING INVADED BY RANSOMWARE, ALMOST ALL TYPES OF FILES IN THE USER'S HOST SYSTEM WILL BE ENCRYPTED, THE SUFFIX OF THE ENCRYPTED FILES WILL BE UNIFORMLY CHANGED TO .WNCZY, AND A RANSOM DIALOG WILL POP UP ON THE DESKTOP, DEMANDING THAT THE VICTIM PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF BITCOIN TO THE ATTACKER'S BITCOIN WALLET, AND THE RANSOM AMOUNT WILL INCREASE OVER TIME. ”

The middle-aged man smashed his desk angrily and said viciously: "This extremely threatening virus, I'm afraid it was created and spread by a hacker organization!"

Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't rule out this possibility! However, it is also possible that a certain government is behind all this, according to the current network technology reserves of various countries, the first is the United States, the second is RB, and the third is our Huaxia......

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Well, indeed, it seems that the back of this new mutated virus is indeed not simple, and I must pay close attention to the cracking work, and at the same time strictly prevent it, I will report it like above now!"

"Okay, Wu Bureau, I'll implement it right away!"

......

At the same time, many security vendors of antivirus software in China are also desperately researching the latest mutant ransomware virus. So far, there are still 370 and Jinshan and Penguin computer housekeepers and other manufacturers with certain strength in China, and they have a good reputation in the market.

In addition, major security vendors at home and abroad are also actively developing methods and tools to deal with mutant ransomware viruses, but the progress of research and development is difficult to say!

Several major security vendors in China have a large number of enterprise users, and when some enterprise users are attacked by ransomware viruses, they naturally want to ask the security company for a group, hoping that the security company can provide security solutions, or develop a security tool that can effectively resist ransomware as soon as possible!

The situation abroad is similar to that in China, and many enterprise users have been attacked by ransomware viruses, urging security vendors to provide special killing tools or solutions!

But it's not to ridicule domestic security antivirus manufacturers, they really take this this time, the latest mutant third-generation ransomware virus is no problem!

This virus doesn't want to be the first generation, as long as you disconnect the network, put on security patches, and close some infrequently used ports to stop it, this is a brand new virus, it is more aggressive and invasive!

For example, Microsoft officially announced that one hour after the outbreak of the first-generation ransomware, it provided updated data and countermeasures, although it could not remove the ransomware, but it could prevent the ransomware from infecting. In other words, when you are not infected with ransomware, you can effectively prevent being infected.

Other major security companies followed, and less than 10 minutes after Microsoft officially announced the update, they also provided updates and solutions for their protection methods.

However, with the first generation of variants, when the second and third generations are mutated, this solution and countermeasures will not work! All previous measures have failed, resulting in countless computers being infected overnight......

The rapid outbreak of ransomware has caused security vendors at home and abroad to react at all. A whole day is about to pass, and they still haven't come up with any plans and effective measures!

It's not that they don't want to take it out, but there's really no way.

It's hard, it's hard, it's hard! It's as hard as the sky......
