Chapter 263: Virus Mutations
Lu Xiaoping specifically consulted Xuanne Company, according to the CIH time detection mechanism, the virus outbreak on April 26, the most likely peak period, one of them, is 0:00 in the morning, the outbreak of computers at this time, generally in the evening from the 25th to the 26th of those computers, the second possible outbreak of the peak, is the 26th morning ** time, at that time, it is a large number of users to open the computer to start the day's work, if these computers are infected with the CIH virus, once turned on, The CIH virus infected in it will detect the time, and when the time is found to be the 26th, the virus will explode, write junk data to the hard disk, and destroy the BIOS chip of the motherboard.
Therefore, when the time reached the early hours of the morning, Lu Xiaoping sent his wife and daughter to sleep, and he sat in the study waiting for the phone, no doubt at this time, his mood at this time was somewhat similar to the feeling of students before listening to the teacher's announcement of the test results, both nervous and expectant.
When the clock passed midnight, the network department became silent, and some employees who were responsible for monitoring the major forums and chat rooms on the Internet were repeatedly refreshing the forums, carefully reviewing every piece of information scrolling in the chat room.
Minutes and seconds passed, an hour was as long as a year for all those who were expecting results.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Gu, everything is normal, it seems that our CIH round-up operation has been successful, so far, except for some boring guys who want to experience the attack of the CIH virus in the post to show off, there is no report of the computer infected with the CIH virus post, but it is not excluded that some computers are poisoned, there is no spare computer for use, and the situation that the post cannot be posted, but from the number of people online in each forum has not fluctuated much, it can be inferred that even if there is a computer virus attack, it is also a very small number." Zhang Shiqi, the manager of the network department, took his eyes off the computer at one o'clock and said his analysis to Gu Wolf and Tang Xinyu.
"Judging from the current situation, the first possible peak of the CIH outbreak has passed smoothly, everyone will hold on for another half an hour, if there is no problem, you can rest, hard work." Gu Wolf said.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Gu, you go and rest, just leave it to me to keep an eye on here." Zhang Shiqi said.
"It's okay, you just work hard, and if there is any emergency, notify me and Mr. Gu in time." Tang Xinyu said, and left the network department with Gu Wolf after speaking.
Tang Xinyu and Gu Wolf walked out of the network department and chatted as they walked.
"I knew that this would be the case, but I was still nervous just now, and people's psychology is really strange." Tang Xinyu said.
"This shows that you care about this outcome, if you don't care, how can you be nervous." Gu Wolf said.
After returning to the office, Tang Xinyu first called Lu Xiaoping and gave him a brief report on the situation, so that he could rest assured, his spirit had been tense for the past few days, but now he suddenly relaxed, and his body suddenly felt very tired, so he fell asleep directly in the company.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Tang Xinyu was woken up by the loud alarm clock, and got up from the bed with sleepiness.
Coming to the network department again, Gu Wolf was already inside.
"How's it going, what's the situation?" Tang Xinyu asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Everything works." Gu Wolf said with a smile.
Tang Xinyu looked at his watch, it was now more than six o'clock in the morning, and he pulled up a chair to make it down from the peak of the CIH outbreak that could really exist in the day, and asked: "What is the situation abroad now, is there a CIH outbreak?" ”
"There have been reports of CIH seizures, but the outbreak has not yet appeared, we are so high-profile in the country, those gringos are not deaf or blind, and they can naturally arouse vigilance, I think the possibility of a major outbreak should not be big." Gu Wolf smiled.
"Hehe, that's the truth, since it's nothing, let's go to breakfast together now, and wait until we have breakfast, just in time for the second peak that may erupt." Tang Xinyu said.
"It's fine." Gu Wolf happily agreed.
After a light meal in the staff cafeteria of Xuan Ne Company, when the two returned to the network department again, the time was more than seven o'clock, and they waited for a while, and at eight o'clock, the second possible outbreak peak came, until ten o'clock in the morning, everything in the country was still calm, they did not receive any reports of CIH virus outbreaks, and there were no reports of CIH virus outbreaks on the Internet.
"I can really rest assured this time, I'll call Secretary-General Lu again now, and let him put his heart in his stomach." Tang Xinyu said with a relaxed expression.
"You go, don't come after the call, I see that you look sleepy, rest for a while, I'll just keep an eye on it here." Gu Wolf said.
Tang Xinyu didn't be polite to Gu Wolf, just patted him on the shoulder, accepted his arrangement, and turned to leave.
The wind was calm, the whole morning was calm, even Gu Wolf, after eating lunch, the originally tense heartstrings were relaxed, and he decided to take a break in his office.
However, when he lay down and just fell asleep, he was awakened by a knock on the door.
"What's going on, is there any news of the CIH virus outbreak?" Gu Wolf put on his coat, pushed open the door of the lounge, and saw his secretary and network manager Zhang Shiqi standing outside, Zhang Shiqi's expression looked a little anxious, thinking that it was the CIH virus outbreak, so he asked.
"Yes, a massive virus outbreak." Zhang Shiqi said.
"Let's go, go to the Cyber Department." Hearing this, Gu Wolf walked briskly towards the network department while getting dressed, and Zhang Shiqi followed after a few steps.
"By the way, Xiao Wang, you go and call Mr. Tang and ask him to come to the network department as well." When he walked to the door, Gu Wolf instructed his secretary Xiao Wang, and then left in a hurry.
"When did the outbreak begin?" Gu Wolf asked as he walked.
"The first call for help received by the network department was 1:20, and in the following 20 minutes, we received 12 calls for help in a row, and at this time, people on the Internet had already begun to post the news of the CIH virus outbreak, and there were also people in the forum who posted about the CIH virus outbreak." Zhang Shiqi said.
"Did someone from the technical department notify you?"
"Notification, we have intercepted samples of the new virus, and analysis is underway at this time."
"Well, I'll go to the technical department first, the network department, you are responsible for dealing with it, if there is any other new situation, notify me in time."
"Okay."
The technical department and the network department are just a wall apart, when Gu Wolf passed by the office of the network department, he turned his head and looked, the relaxed atmosphere of the network department that lasted from yesterday to noon today disappeared, each of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, and several complaint telephones specially set up by the network department were busy, Zhang Shiqi obeyed Gu Wolf's arrangement and separated from him and entered the network department.
Gu Wolf himself came to the technical department next door to the network department, pushed open the door and walked in, compared to the tension and liveliness of the network department, the technical department was much quieter.
"How's it going, are the results of the virus sample analysis out?" Gu Wolf found Wu Yang, an employee of the technical department who was analyzing the virus sample, and asked.
"Preliminarily, this is a new variant of the CIH virus, which can bypass the immune patch of our special killing tool for the computer and infect the machine, and this virus already has the characteristics of a certain network worm, and can infect the networked Windows9X series computers through the Internet, and it will take time for further analysis." Wu Yang said.
"Use the fastest time to make a special kill to prevent the virus from causing large-scale infection through the network." Gu Wolf frowned, gave an order, and then turned around and walked out of the technical department, things happened so suddenly, he felt that he needed to discuss further countermeasures with Tang Xinyu.
At a time when Xuanne Company was on the verge of a great enemy due to the mutation and large-scale spread of the CIH virus, Gu Xiaodong and Zhang Dalong also got the news of the CIH virus outbreak in the Ryzen Company after the merger of Tianlong Company and Xingrui Company.
"Haha, God help me, Dalong, come, let's dry this glass of wine first, and then let's study it and give Xuan Nie a big gift."
Gu Xiaodong laughed, took out a bottle of precious red wine from the wine cabinet in the office and poured it into two glasses, picked one up and gave it to Zhang Dalong, who was also smiling, and after clinking glasses with him, he drank it all.
