Syman's personal security products are located all over the world, so their update servers are all over the world, and the total number of commonly used and backup networks exceeds 1,000. [No pop-up novel network]

Shutting down the commonly used update server and starting an alternate server will not contain hacker attacks, but it will allow users who have not yet completed the latest virus database upgrade to avoid being attacked by malicious virus databases modified by hackers.

It's just a thousand things. Buttercup is not centrally managed, but distributed in computer rooms around the world, usually managed according to the directory, now the hacker has changed the password, can not be remotely managed, can only go to the administrator of the second computer room, can be contacted, can immediately implement physical shutdown, start the standby server; However, the world is so big, there are always some administrators in the computer room who cannot be contacted at the moment, and Syman Iron Shell has to send personnel to the computer room to shut down those servers in person.

Two hours have passed, and the backup servers of Syman Iron Shell have finally been opened, and the technical department has also launched an intrusion investigation into the original server, but the password set by the other party is very strong, and it will take a certain amount of time to crack the password.

At this time, the number of individual users of Syman Iron Shell who updated the virus database has exceeded 160,000, no matter how much Syman Iron Shell saves, it cannot avoid the explosion of this major security accident, and the anger of customers has burned the after-sales customer service departments of Syman Iron Shell to pieces. The president couldn't sit still and came to the technical department to command on the spot.

The person in charge of the technical department is called Matthew, a typical middle-aged American, fat and bald, he reported the current situation to the president, "According to the statistics of the after-sales department, we received more than 10,000 calls for help this morning, all because of manslaughter, there are currently more than XII. "Have you come up with a solution?"

"We have isolated the virus database from the customer's computer that has been modified by the hacker, and the solution has been come up, and we are currently notifying those users who cannot boot through various channels! Matthew said as he picked up his cup and drank from it, and shouted all morning, which made his throat a little unbearable. "Can you be sure who did it?" The president asked.

Matthew shook his head, "All the evidence is on those update servers, but the password has not been unlocked so far, at present, it can only be said that the other party's technology is very smart, and the system used by these servers is modified by us according to the system, and we have done very strict security tests." And the other party seems to have been monitoring our server for a long time, according to the comparison of the time of our latest virus database update deployment and customer feedback records, it can be concluded that the time of the other party's invasion of the server is just in between, that is, we have just completed the latest update deployment, and the other party is not there, and his purpose is to use this update to attack our customers! ”

The president's face was heavy, as the world's largest hoofing security service provider, but he was deliberately murdered by a hacker, which is simply a great shame.

However, this also confirmed that this hacker may have nothing to do with Li Security, because the conflict between everyone has only happened in the last few days, and it is impossible for Li Security to know all the update servers distributed around the world in such a short period of time. At this point, the president is still confident, but he is now a little puzzled, at first he had at least one object of suspicion, but now he even has no suspicion. "Who will do it?"

The president fell into deep thought, he made so many disguises for this shot, whether he confused Li An is still unknown, but at this moment he is really confused.

A technician from the technical department walked over and said, "Our standby servers have all been activated normally, but so far, we have not received any update requests!" "Why?" Matthew was surprised that there should be a large number of customers who need to be updated at this moment.

"The very moment our standby server was launched, our user authentication server suddenly received a large number of authentication requests." The man paused, "At first, we thought that it was the user's collective upgrade that caused the authentication service to be busy, and then it turned out that these authentication requests were all disguised, and now the resources of the authentication server are completely occupied by these false authentication requests, and the authentication requests of real users cannot be processed in time, so they received a prompt that the username is invalid, and a large number of customers have called to question this matter." ”

Matthew was dumbfounded, damn it, this hacker is too powerful, he just wants you to upgrade, he just wants you to upgrade, he doesn't want you to upgrade, he doesn't want you to upgrade, and he is completely controlled by a hacker.

The upgrade process of most antivirus software is the same, and Symane Iron is no exception, every time the user updates, it will first send an authentication request to the authentication server of Syman, only by verifying that the user is a genuine user and within the service period, the user can normally link to the update server, and then check the virus database versions of both parties, if there is an update, then upgrade, no update, the user will be prompted not to update.

Now, the genuine user of Symantec is stuck in the authentication level, because the authentication server is busy and cannot process the user's authentication request, and after the authentication, the user will return the authentication failure message. And most users will think that their service has expired, Maragobi's, Lao Tzu only renewed the service for a year yesterday, why does it expire today, if the user does not come to question Simon Iron Shell, it will be strange.

"The other party's intention is obvious, he wants to rely on us for all the damage caused by his own attack, and make users think that all this is caused by the mistakes of Syman Iron Shell itself!" Matthew had to revise his analysis.

Of course, the president also understands, but even if the other party doesn't do it, Syman Iron Shell can only take the responsibility on himself, do you dare to say that all this is caused by hacker attacks?

"Shut down the authentication server!" The president gave an order, instead of failing to authenticate and creating user panic, it is better to directly fail to connect to the authentication server, so that the prompt returned is just "unable to connect to the server", not "authentication failed!" ”

Three minutes later, Syman Iron Shell issued an announcement, saying that because it needed to fully check the previous mistakes, it temporarily closed the authentication server, and if the user's virus could not be upgraded, please try again later, and said that this move would not affect the normal use of the product.

In the afternoon, the Internet began to be lively, and many people noticed the manslaughter incident of Simon Iron Shell today, and reported and analyzed it one after another.

The pressure on Syman's iron shell has increased sharply, because someone has analyzed the consequences of the manslaughter incident for Syman iron shell on the Internet: "There have been 16o million computers that could not be started because of manslaughter, and the direct or indirect losses were as high as 1.5 billion US dollars!" ”

It is not terrible how serious the consequences are, what is afraid is the claim, and if the Syman Iron Shell takes the responsibility for its own mistakes, it may have to face all kinds of claims.

The president was no longer in the good mood he had when he first came in the morning, and he was still standing by the window of the office, but now he was not looking down at the people, but he had an urge to jump, which was too annoying.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, and when he saw the president's appearance, he didn't dare to speak first. "What's the matter, let's talk about it!" The president finally opened his mouth. "The guy from the tech department broke the password on the update server, and it was just ...... the assistant muttered." Just what? The president turned and stared sharply at the assistant.

"It's just that there is no trace of hacker intrusion, and the people in the technical department judged that it will take at least one time for hackers to modify the virus database file, but the results of the inspection confirmed that the time when the hacker modified the virus database file was exactly the same as the time when we deployed the update!" The assistant couldn't understand this, this kind of thing that couldn't have happened at all, was born in a hurry, and it was born in his own body, the moment he got the news, he had a hallucination, could it really not be caused by a hacker attack, but a mistake made by Simon Iron Shell when it was updated and deployed?

The president didn't speak, and he couldn't even raise the slightest anger in his chest at this time, he knew very well that this was by no means a mistake by Simon Iron Shell, but that this hacker's methods were too clever. Everyone was wrong before, the other party may not have been monitoring for a long time, and it is not that he wants to rely on Simon Iron Shell, but he is not willing to leave the slightest clue for Simon Iron Shell.

Aren't the people in the technical department investigating, but after checking and checking, they finally found their own heads, how ridiculous it is, as if the police were tracking down the murderer, and in the end, they found that the murderer was themselves.

It's just that the president can't laugh, the more ridiculous it is, the more it shows how terrible the opponent is! "Ding Dong", the computer on the president's desk sounds, which is a hint that a new email has arrived. The president sighed and walked feebly towards the desk.

This is his own work mailbox, few outsiders know, but at the moment there is a letter lying in the mailbox from an unknown email person, but in the annoyance, the president didn't have the heart to think so much, so he clicked on it, and when he saw it, he froze.

There was only one sentence in the email: "Although I am used to solving problems in a rough way, in fact I prefer to convince people with virtue, and what bothers me in the rain is that someone is always more eager to be rough than me!" ”

The president didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but when he came back to his senses, he suddenly thought that this might be the news from the hacker, so he hurriedly stood up and said to the assistant: "Call someone from the technical department immediately!" The assistant didn't know what to do, and saw that the president was in a hurry, so he jumped out after getting the order.

As soon as the president sat down, the computer made a prompt sound, and a new email came, or the unknown person, the president clicked on it without hesitation, and it was blank after clicking, and then a box popped up, prompting the program to crash.

The president broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that it couldn't be the other party's actions in the email, but when he opened the mailbox again, he saw that the two letters just now had disappeared, and he couldn't believe his eyes for a while, and quickly checked the mail storage location on the computer, temporary files, and even the receipt record of the mailbox, all of which were gone, as if those two letters had never come.

The people of the technical department, under the leadership of the assistant, entered the president's office in the shortest time, but saw the president sitting there in despair. "President, someone from the technical department has arrived!" The assistant reminded. The president waved his hand, "No need, you guys go out!" ”

People all over the world know that there is one person who will use this elusive email attack method, and this person is Hu Yifei of Figo Security, so the moment the email disappears, the president knows who the hacker who embarrassed Simon Iron Shell is.

Some people may say that there may be many people who can use this email attack method, but if this person can succeed in the computer of the president of Syman, the world's largest security service provider, then he will not be the second person, he can only be Hu Yifei of Figo Security.

The president understands who did it, but there is still nothing he can do, just like the previous attack, Hu Yifei came and went, but did not leave any trace, and even you will suspect that he did not come at all. Before today, the president would never have believed that anyone in the world could do such a hacker attack...... Such a supernatural point may be difficult for Dr. T back then!

Waiting for the people in the technical department to leave, the assistant took a few steps forward, "President, is something wrong?" The president smiled bitterly, "I thought I caught the other party's tail, but I didn't expect the other party to come at all!" "The assistant was confused, he didn't know what the president was talking about, why was he so puzzled." You send someone to ......, no, you go to talk to Li'an in person, and say that we are willing to settle privately with them in the infringement lawsuit......"

This ......" the assistant was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue, Syman Iron Shell has full evidence to prove that his engine was obtained from legal channels, this lawsuit is not won at all, why settle "We have oral agreements with several other companies that have been sued! ”

"Sooner or later, they will compromise, and they may not last three days!" The president waved his hand, then turned the chair, leaving only the assistant with a wide chair back. The assistant stood there scratching his head, puzzled and reluctant. Hu Yifei was also scratching his head at this time, he wasn't sure if the sentence in his letter had made the other party understand.

"Well, I guess I can understand!" Hu Yifei touched his nose, and said in his heart Although that sentence was adapted by himself, it was also a famous saying, and the old man in Simon should be able to understand it. This celebrity is not Lei Laohu, it is Sister Furong, and the original words of the famous quote are "I am too new-age in appearance, and I always give people the illusion of being very fashionable and avant-garde, but in fact, I have almost all the virtues of traditional women flowing in my bones!" I'm distressed,......

Hu Yifei thought evilly, if the old man still didn't understand, he would have to send Sister Furong to explain to him in person, there was an ancient "panda burning incense", so I would give them a "Furong out of the water"! It's a pity that Hu Yifei's Furong didn't have a chance to get out of the water, and Simon Iron Shell admitted it that day. The next day, what happened to Syman Iron Shell befell another company that was sued; Day 3...

On the fourth day, the old man of Simon Iron Shell was unpredictable, and all the companies that were sued agreed to settle privately with Li'anfang, and they couldn't wait, they really didn't survive three days.

Hu Yifei can only regretfully blame all this on Sister Furong's power is greater than that of the panda, and he has not yet made it, and the enemy is already defeated.
