Chapter 9: The Eternal Heart (New Book, Collect, Recommend.) )
There are still hundreds of meters high bookshelves, and there is no end in sight. Only in this kind of scene will I feel that knowledge is endless.
Chen Mo walked to the desk and opened the dark red book. Shu Lao's figure appeared in the library in an instant.
Shu Lao looked at Chen Mo and nodded slightly.
"It's quite hard work, I read 100 books so quickly. Now that you have the opportunity to draw a technique, do you want to draw it now? ”
"Old Shu, I want to ask, is there any computer antivirus software here that can detect and kill ransomware viruses?" Chen Mo asked.
If he goes to research, he will definitely be able to research antivirus software, but the time is too long, and he has the energy, so it is better to use this time to read books in exchange for science and technology.
"Which ransomware?" Shu Lao asked.
"It's outside, on those two computers on my desk." Chen Mo said.
Shu Lao closed his eyes, and after a while, he pointed a little. A huge curtain of light descended over the Science and Technology Library.
On the light curtain, it is the lock screen of the ransomware.
"That's it?" Shu Lao asked.
"Yes."
"Killing this computer virus is very simple, and you can solve it." Shu Lao said: "Now I give you two choices, one is that you are free to choose an antivirus software technology, and the other is that I will give you the code of the virus, and you can design your own antivirus program." In exchange for the virus code, you have the right to choose the technology freely, and choose it at random instead. ”
"Old Shu, are you testing me?"
"You can think of it that way." Shu Lao said: "I said at the beginning, the science and technology library is not for you to sit and eat, otherwise there would be so many books." ”
Shu Lao pointed to the endless bookshelf.
"Then the second one." Chen Mo said resolutely.
After reading nearly 100 books on computer technology and hacking techniques, plus the source code of ransomware viruses, he believes that it will not take too long for him to design an antivirus program.
It's just that this randomly selected technique is a bit mysterious, he doesn't have anything now, if it's a random technology that he can't use or a very chicken technology, then he can only wait for next time, and now it's time to rely on luck.
"Not bad."
Shu Lao nodded, pointed his finger to the light curtain, and the dense code was listed on it. Then the light curtain shrank, turned into a book and fell into Shu Lao's hand, and he pressed it on Chen Mo's head.
The dense code was engraved in Chen Mo's mind, and the root of the ransomware virus was also clear in Chen Mo's mind.
All kinds of thoughts intertwine in my mind.
"Wait until you design the program to detect and kill the virus, and then come and choose the technology, maybe there will be unexpected gains at that time." Shu Lao said meaningfully.
After exiting from the science and technology library, Chen Mo sat back in front of the computer. With the source code of the virus, the rest is much easier.
He now has an idea, but it has yet to be validated by his programming.
Turning on the computer, Chen Mo began to type code.
……
The news of the ransomware attack on Marina University was quickly spread to the Internet. In this information age, events spread throughout the country in the shortest possible time.
The appearance of this news is like blowing the horn of attack.
Major universities in China have also reported that they have been attacked by ransomware viruses. There was a wail in the attacked universities, circles of friends and forums.
The virus is called 'Eternal Heart' and is a variant of the ransomware virus 'Eternal Blue'.
As last time, it is mainly spread through email attachments, phishing URLs, mass download URL links, users downloading virus files from malicious sites, and web page trojans.
The difference is that if you click on it, the virus will infect the computer's local area network and then spread throughout the region, greatly increasing its ability to spread.
The last time a ransomware virus appeared, it was just a lock for documents, a lock for videos, and hard drive data. This time, the entire computer system was locked, and it was impossible to log in to the computer desktop.
The main scope of the attack on the 'Eternal Heart' of the ransomware variant in China is still major universities and companies. It is disseminated through the regional network of universities and corporate networks.
Many colleges and universities have closed their campus networks to avoid infection with the 'Eternal Heart'.
The virus is still spreading, and it can't be stopped.
More and more virus incidents are appearing in computers, and the Internet is full of excitement, and worry and happiness coexist. Internet access has also become cautious, and I dare not click on some URLs and unknown software casually.
This time it is a variant of the ransomware virus, which is better than the last time, the loopholes have been filled, and the speed of transmission is much faster than the last time, and in a short period of time, it has fully spread.
Following the last ransomware crisis, another computer virus crisis has swept the world.
All the news media put the ransomware on the front page.
"Huaxia has closed virtual currency trading, what is the solution to the computer virus?" 》
Eternal Blue Variant: Eternal Heart? Nearly a million computers have been infected. 》
"The price of Bitcoin continues to rise due to the influence of the 'Eternal Heart'. 》
……
On the Internet, all kinds of reports are overwhelming, and almost all of them have been affected in Europe, which was the first to discover the new ransomware variant of the 'Eternal Heart'.
The whole of Europe is gloomy, and the main areas of attack this time are stock exchange centers, banks, government departments, universities, energy companies, metro systems, corporate companies, supermarkets, etc
The forced closure of the European stock exchanges led to chaos in the stock market. There are also many banks whose computers have been attacked, ATMs are unable to withdraw money, and banks are unable to conduct business normally.
The NHS has been hit again, and the computer systems of all its hospitals have been infected, leaving some rescue and ambulance teams unable to dispatch.
In just one day, the 'Eternal Heart' has spread to the Middle East, South America, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
With the spread of the 'Eternal Heart', the ransomware virus has officially evolved into a global virus crisis. This ransomware variant is several times more terrifying than the last virus crisis.
Worldwide, millions of computers have been infected with viruses and their screens have been locked. If you reinstall the system, all the data in the computer will also be lost.
Many people's important information is still in the computer, and they must not be able to reinstall the system, and they are still waiting for a solution.
Affected by the 'Eternal Heart', Microsoft's stock fell 2% in response, and its market value evaporated by nearly $11 billion.
The FBI has also opened a case to search the world for hacking groups that create ransomware variants.
Finding the source of the spread of the 'Eternal Heart', they soon discovered that it was the result of a careful plan by advanced hackers months in advance, and it is still impossible to find out.
Many network security companies also issued warnings as soon as possible, reminding users not to click on problematic emails.
All kinds of measures, all kinds of reports are overwhelming.
Five days have passed, and the 'Eternal Heart' has infected more than a million computers.
Many network security companies can only give advice on prevention, but there is no real antivirus software that can detect and kill ransomware.
There are only two days left before the first computers infected with the virus. If you can't find a way to kill the virus within two days, all the data in your computer will be destroyed.
Many people have become desperate and have begun to pay hackers for virtual currencies such as bitcoin to get the keys to unlock their computers.
Since the last ransomware outbreak, people have seen regulatory loopholes in virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, providing avenues for crimes such as money laundering, transferring funds, tax evasion, etc.
After the first virus crisis, the market supervision department of Huaxia gradually closed the trading platform of virtual currency.
This virus crisis has made it impossible for the infected computers in China to 'redeem themselves'.
Some people can only pray that at the last moment, they can find a way to kill the virus, otherwise all the important information in their computer will be lost.
