Chapter 264: The Storm Comes

The CIH virus, which has mutated and has the characteristics of a network worm, is spreading faster and faster on the network, and the number of computers infected and damaged by the virus is increasing, and a storm that threatens the entire Huaxia network and computer security is quietly forming.

When the computer crashes, restarts and can't be turned on, combined with the characteristics of the CIH virus attack that they have obtained from the CIH virus roundup campaign, it is easy to judge that their computer has been damaged by the CIH virus, these people do not know that the CIH virus has mutated, they only know that the CIH monopoly they got from Xuanni or from other companies did not play its due role.

Regret, anger, panic, and other negative emotions followed, and doubts about network security companies such as Xuan Nie also followed, when the scope of infection became larger and stronger, and the negative public opinion formed by this emotion formed a joint force, which brought huge pressure to Xuan Ni and other network security companies, and Lu Xiaoping, secretary general of the Jiangzhou municipal government, also felt pressure.

In fact, when this mutant virus began to spread through the Internet, he received the news as soon as possible, and when he heard the news, the catastrophic consequences that the virus might cause if it broke out on a large scale instantly stuck in his mind, making him feel cold for a while.

Regardless of the personal computer, regardless of the value of the computer itself, the computer in the enterprise, especially some computers that undertake critical business or store important data, if the data is infected, the data is destroyed, the business is stagnant, and the data is destroyed, it is a real disaster, and the loss caused by this disaster will be immeasurable, and he does not dare to estimate.

Just as he put down the phone and was stunned for a moment, the shrill phone rang.

"Hey, I'm Lu Xiaoping, it turned out to be Mr. Tang, hello...... Well, I already know the thing,...... What, the virus has mutated...... Okay, use the fastest time to make a killing tool......" Lu Xiaoping picked up the phone again, this call was given to him by Tang Xinyu, informing him of the mutation of the CIH virus, and asking him to come forward in the name of the government to explain the current situation, appease the panic that may be caused, and so on.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoping's heart was slightly relieved, and Tang Xinyu explained to him that the mutated CIH virus will only infect the window9x series of operating systems, and most of the computers running these operating systems are some personal computers, or business terminals, these computers are generally not used as servers for critical business, and even some systems with extremely high security requirements, such as banking systems, railway ticketing systems, whose servers run are not Windows series systems. Rather, it is the more secure UNIX series of operating systems, and these operating systems cannot be infected.

Lu Xiaoping calmed down a little, and then left the office, there are some things he needs to arrange in advance, in addition, such a major event, he also needs to report to his leader, the mayor of Jiangzhou City, and listen to the mayor's instructions.

…………

In the second hour after the outbreak of the virus, only the Xuan Ne Company received more than 2,000 reports of virus attacks, and the scope of the report received by the Xuan Ne Company was mainly limited to Jiangzhou City, and Jiangzhou City was not the only network security company.

On the other hand, geography has no impact on the spread of network viruses, and how many infected computers are there nationwide?

The beginning of the catastrophe is already beginning to take shape.

Soon after the outbreak of the virus, all enterprises in Jiangzhou City began to receive virus warning notices issued by Xuan Ne and other network security companies, so some enterprises with weak dependence on computers began to cut off Internet connections, or even turn off their computers, to prevent their computers from being infected and causing losses.

But some enterprises that rely heavily on computers and the Internet, the network connection is not easy to disconnect, and the computer is not said to be turned off, these companies are the top priority of virus protection, and these companies can only wait anxiously in a panic, waiting for which company can launch anti-virus tools for the first time, but when they wait for two hours without news, the networked computer begins to be infected by the virus, in order to avoid greater losses, they have to disconnect the network and turn off the computer. When the business is stopped, this wait turns into anxiety, panic, and even disappointment and anger towards domestic cybersecurity companies.

So there began to be complaints and questions on the Internet, and some time ago, the CIH virus round-up campaign was made vigorous, with almost all the people participating, and now that something has happened, where have these network security companies gone? Why hasn't any company come forward with a solution?

As soon as this kind of complaint and questioning appeared on the Internet, it soon formed a trend, with more and more people echoing it, and the voice became stronger and stronger, and under the deliberate promotion and guidance of some people, this voice gradually formed a joint force, slowly adjusted the spearhead, began to torture the computer security industry in China, and began to question the initiator of the CIH virus round-up campaign -- Xuanne Company.

The articles on the torture and questioning of the industry mainly appeared on a few high-traffic web portals in Huaxia, but the doubts about the Xuanne Company were everywhere, and even in some non-computer professional public forums and some small information websites, people with ulterior motives began to publish articles, taking advantage of the public's ignorance of the CIH virus mutation to mislead the public.

Under the anxiety and panic caused by the rapid spread of the mutant virus, the misleading of these people obviously played a role, selling fame and reputation, malicious hype, and other words were imposed on the head of the Xuan Ne Company, and the good reputation of the Xuan Ne Company after various efforts in exchange for a few hours, plummeted, and even had a tendency to develop in a situation of shouting at everyone.

Compared with the public forum,Professional forums such as the Cold Fire Forum,The users in it are much calmer,Few users here are completely novices,They have already known from a post on the top of the forum that the virus has mutated,Not only can bypass the original CIH immune patch,And has the characteristics of a network worm。

But understanding is understanding, the users in the forum are also waiting for which network security company can launch an anti-virus solution for the first time, but this plan has not come out for a long time.

…………

Inside the company, the atmosphere is very tense, Tang Xinyu is restless in the office, the hustle and bustle on the Internet, and the doubts about the company, he is very clear, and those posts that mislead the public, who did it, he can also guess a rough idea, but he did not let the company's employees argue with those people, because he knows that instead of spending lips and tongues to explain to the public what is a virus mutation and what a network worm is, it is better to come up with a virus prevention and killing plan at the first time and make a virus killing.

But I thought that the monopoly would be done soon, but there was a problem, because after they made the first monopoly tool, they now did an experiment in a virtual machine of their own company, but found that after the monopoly was running, the virus could not be killed, and it would cause the virus to mutate further.

In order to thoroughly understand the true principle of the virus, Gu Wolf personally participated in the analysis and research of virus samples, but the difficulty of this analysis and research was beyond his imagination......
