Chapter 402: Blame
The official residence of the Prime Minister of the island nation.
Anbei, who was short and obscene, his face was full of anger, and he glanced at the officials below: "Why is this happening?" Is the Cyber Security Division of the Ministry of Defense a rice bucket? How vulnerable is the entire nation's network? ”
"Prime Minister, the Ministry of Defense's computer has also been hacked and controlled." An official from the Ministry of Defense said in embarrassment.
"Is there a way to clean up these viruses?"
Anbei endured his anger.
In less than two hours, a computer virus spread to all corners of the island country. Now the island nation is in a state of semi-paralysis,
"I can't think of a good way to do it for the time being, and computer security experts are looking for ways to crack it."
"How's it going?"
"I don't have a clue yet." The official spoke: "But it is certain that the computer virus did not destroy the internal files of the computer, as long as it is cleaned up, it can be restored to its original state." ”
"Can you find out which hacker group is responsible for?" Anbei asked with a dark face.
"It's not clear for the time being, it's still under investigation." An intelligence agency official said: "However, the computer that installed the marching ant termite system was not affected by the virus. We suspect it may have something to do with the marching ant company. ”
"Maybe? What I want is evidence, you give me evidence, and with evidence, I can put pressure on Huaxia, not speculation. ”
Anbei's mood has never been worse, after he was elected prime minister, there was another earthquake, another nuclear leak, and later a 'clown virus'. After so many disasters, it was hard to stabilize the economy of the island country, but now an unknown virus has come, and all his efforts have been ruined.
When he heard the reported data, his heart was bleeding.
The entire national network, without warning, was controlled by an unknown computer virus. Enterprises that touch the Internet are in a semi-paralyzed state, and now it is the Internet era, and you can imagine how big the loss is.
"Within two days, I want a clear answer to determine who did it and for what purpose. Also, let the cybersecurity experts figure out how to clean up the virus as quickly as possible. ”
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid two days is not enough." This was stated by an official of the Ministry of Defense.
"Now it's all swimming outside. Lines. Wei, scold us for being incompetent, and ask me to step down, and ask your officials from the Ministry of Defense to step down. Do you know what it means if you haven't solved it for two days? The country's economy has regressed, and now the loss of a day is immeasurable, and every hour is burning money. Does the money know? Money! ”
"We can start with the termite system of Marching Ants, which has a smart firewall that protects against unknown viruses."
"You want the Chinese people to control the politics of our island country. Do you have all the information about the government department? ”
Everyone kept their mouths shut, not daring to mention it again.
"Prime Minister, press conference is ready." An assistant entered the conference room and whispered in Anbei's ear.
"Kishida, you go out and deal with those reporters." After speaking, Anbei got up and left with a black face, leaving behind a group of officials with bitter faces.
As soon as Kishida walked out of the press conference, all the cameras and live cameras on the field were all aimed at him.
The entire island nation was semi-paralyzed, and this was the most terrifying computer virus incident in history. The island country has suffered heavy losses, and the country is extremely chaotic, at this time, it can only appease people's hearts.
"Mr. Kishida, what do you have to say about the disruption of economic activities in island countries due to unknown computer viruses?" As soon as Anbei stood still, a news reporter spoke.
"It's a 'terror. Fear. Attack', we will definitely catch the people who spread the virus. No matter who he is or what organization he is, he will have to pay the price. The island country is suffering from unprecedented computer security threats, and I hope that the people in the country can unite as one. ”
"There are reports that the virus was launched by Huaxia hackers who seized on the vulnerabilities of the computer system. What do you think about this? Has there been an investigation into which organization was responsible for this computer virus attack? ”
"We don't rule anything out. There are no findings now, and when the results are out, we will announce them. ”
"Mr. Kishida, as far as we know, the virus did not infect the termite system of the marching ant company. What is your response to rumors that Marching Ant Company created this computer virus invasion in order to expand its computer market share? ”
"We don't rule out any possibilities, we don't jump to conclusions, we need time to investigate."

Institute of Artificial Intelligence, University of Tokyo.
In a closed laboratory, the initial jubilant atmosphere is gone, and there is a gloomy cloud. They watched all the news through their mobile phones, and there was no accident that the huge Internet disaster in the island country was caused by the 'Amaterasu' of their laboratory.
Although Amaterasu is considered an artificial intelligence, it has the flaws of a computer virus. Machine learning, mutations occur that they don't know about.
Viral AI.
It's a disaster.
The greater the benefit, the greater the risk. This sentence is appropriate anywhere. Although artificial intelligence is good, once it gets out of control, the risk is extremely high. That's what happened to them now, and they didn't expect it.
Under the restrictions of Murakami's water stop, the entire team did not leave the laboratory, and even the mobile phones were put away centrally, and they could not communicate with the outside world. They knew that if someone on the team leaked the matter, all of them would be ruined and become sinners of the country.
This viral artificial intelligence has made the island country semi-paralyzed, like a prime man with his legs broken, and the losses cannot be counted.
"Is there a way to clear 'Amaterasu'." Murakami stops the water opening.
The whole team looked at each other, and finally a few of the leaders shook their heads. When they studied Amaterasu, they didn't study it as a virus, so they didn't study the killing program.
"The seriousness of this matter is self-evident. If it leaks out, we are all sinners of the nation, we will suffer endless abuse and insults, and we will also face prison, and everyone on the field will be ruined. ”
Murakami Shisui gave a vaccination to the people on the field with a black face.
Everyone lowered their heads, they all knew that once the news leaked, none of them could escape. A few hours ago, they thought they were national heroes, but now they have become national sinners, and this gap makes them extremely depressed.
"I don't want to leak it, so I have to find a way to cover up the truth. In this way, we will have enough time to solve the defects of Amaterasu, and if Amaterasu's defects are solved, we will be able to gain fame and fortune. The horror of Amaterasu is clear to everyone after this time. Once the flaws are successfully resolved, through which we control the networks of other nations, it will be possible for our island nation to regain its position on top of the world and restore the glory of the empire, and all of us will be national heroes. ”
Murakami's voice was a little crazy, breaking into such a disaster, if he was discovered, all his hard work would be ruined, and all of them would not end well.
"So what now?" One of the group leaders spoke.
Everyone else looked at Murakami's water stop, and now they were all panicking, and Murakami's water stop was their last straw.
"Everybody wants to figure out how to put their ideas out there and discuss them."
For a while, the field fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at each other, their eyes flashing.
Not long after, a young man in a white lab coat raised his hand. The young man's name is Rukawa Na, with thick glasses, and he looks a little honest, and he is a graduate school of information science and engineering, and he has a doctorate in machine learning.
"Say." Murakami said.
"The source of the virus is at our university, and it will definitely not be long before we are found here. We have to divert our attention, and the best way is to find a substitute for the dead to help us carry the black cauldron. Rukawa pushed his glasses, a little cramped and uneasy.
"Go on."
The eyes of the people on the field lit up.
"We are the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, in the field of computing, we are all experts. If you say it, many people will believe it. All we need to do is find a scapegoat, falsify some evidence, and then announce that the university team has traced the source of the attack, and the focus of the investigation will shift. ”
"Who is the best way to divert attention?" Murakami asked.
"This is a smart virus, and a company that researches artificial intelligence is the best." Rukawa said timidly.
Everyone on the field thought about it, looking for a suitable substitute ghost in their minds, and it didn't take long for several people to have bright eyes, suddenly raised their heads, and seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other, and said in unison.
"Marching Ant Inc."
