Chapter 169: Kidnapping a city

Wang Zhizheng was holding a book and looking at it, which was a Chinese character programming language tutorial released by the marching ant company. The last time a hacker hacked into their system and took away the virus software, nothing was heard from.

The Internet is a complex world, and it is even more difficult to find out who did it by hacking into their computers using IPs from all over the world.

In several global virus crises, those high-level hackers who planned were not found, and they had a small police station, and trying to find them was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if they knew the person, they would not be able to take action, at most they would leave it to Interpol to handle the matter.

Fortunately, the loss last time was not large, so it was just an announcement, and they wrote a review report, and the matter was turned over.

After this incident, he paid more attention to the learning of Chinese character programming language.

A high-level hacker on the other side did everything possible to invade their computers, just for that virus program, it must not be that simple.

"Wang Zhi, look at this news." A female colleague next to her said: "There is a hacker group that calls itself 'Joker' and issued a warning on foreign Twitter that this Friday, there will be an unprecedented global cyber terrorist attack, so that the world will remember the Black Friday of this online world." Their logo avatar is the same mask that hacked into our computer last time. ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi's spirit was shocked, and he immediately stretched out his head to look at her computer screen.

Sure enough, I saw a piece of news with a video on it. His English is not bad, and he can understand all the text of Twitter.

"What do they want to do?"

Wang Zhi frowned, stretched out his head and watched the video carefully, not noticing at all that the female colleague next to his face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little embarrassed when she looked at him.

"I don't know, they're not going to drop that virus file that they took from us, are they? The contagiousness of that virus is very scary. ”

"It's impossible, that virus, we've already released an antivirus program, they released it, and there was an antivirus software as soon as it was released, and they were doing useless work. Hackers are one of the smartest groups in the world, and it's impossible for them to think of something so simple. ”

"Wang Zhi, are you free tonight?"

"Forehead ???"

The warning issued by the 'clown organization' has attracted a lot of media attention and reports.

This hacking group, which suddenly appeared, had never heard of this name before. Now dare to blatantly warn the world, many people just take it as a joke.

After all, there has never been a global cyber terrorist attack. No hacker group has ever dared to issue such a warning.

Time is slowly ticking, and the Clown organization publishes news every day, as if counting down. At first, there was some attention, but then it was ignored as a prank.

Friday in the West came without a hitch.

Twitter, the Clown organization updated Twitter again.

"My heart is like this face, half pure white, half shadow, I can choose to let you see it, or I can insist on not letting you see it. This circus show, which is about to open, begins with a tribute to Master Chaplin. ”

Chaplin's half-famous quote baffled the media that followed the news.

London.

The University of London is a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

Alice was in her dorm room, sorting out her research papers. She is conducting an economic study on the future of the Internet economy. As a Ph.D. student in the School of Business, this dissertation will become her Ph.D. dissertation.

In the UK, it is difficult to study the Internet economy, and she felt that it was necessary to go to China next. China's Internet economy is already a well-deserved world leader.

She had just saved the data when suddenly, she felt the computer screen flicker.

A mask appeared on her computer screen.

Half pure white, half shadow, scarlet eyes, it looks particularly eerie behind the mask. The evil smile is imprinted on the mask, more like a mockery of the world.

After seeing the picture, Alice's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly clicked with the mouse a few times, but there was no response.

"What's going on?" Alice got up in a hurry and tried to restart, but the picture displayed was still a face in a clown mask.

The computers of the entire campus instantly turned into a half-black and half-white mask.

Inside the London Police Station, many police officers stared at the computer screen that turned into a clown image, falling into an eerie silence.

This scene appeared in banks, hospitals, stock exchange markets, subways, supermarkets, companies and other corners. In just an hour, half of London, all service-oriented establishments, were occupied by this black and white mask.

For a time, half of London was paralyzed.

The news was quick to break and the whole world was in an uproar.

In less than an hour, the virus infected half of the city of London, and as for how many computers, no one counts. It is no longer meaningful to count it, and it is the economic losses that everyone is concerned about.

Panic began to spread.

For the first time in the history of computer development, there has never been a virus attack on such a large scale, paralyzing almost the entire city.

"The Internet Doesn't Exist at All – A Warning from the Marching Ants" – Global Times

……

The network in London was infected for an hour, and all kinds of explosive news appeared. The 'Clown Organization' has once again come into the spotlight.

I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect that an unprecedented cyber terrorist attack really came. The first location chosen by the hackers was London, England. At this moment, everyone knew the intention of paying tribute to Chaplin, who was Chaplin's hometown.

London fell, causing a global panic. The stock market also fluctuated. A financial center, so easy to hack.

The previous attack of Eternal Blue and Eternal Heart was nothing compared to this 'Joker Crisis'.

Not long after the Internet in London was paralyzed, the British female prime minister at 10 Downing Street made a televised speech, calling on domestic Internet experts to go to the University of London to jointly deal with the Internet crisis.

Other countries have issued emergency orders to strengthen cyber protection.

This is a huge lesson, London shut down for an hour, and no one knows, how much the economy will lose. For the first time in this information-based world, there has been a shutdown of a financial center city, and the securities and financial markets have announced that they will stop trading, and the specific response date is unknown.

For an hour, the whole world, was shaken by this cyber terrorist attack.

And in the second hour after the news came out, the clown organization tweeted again: "The London incident was initiated by us, we will take full responsibility, and we have successfully kidnapped the city, with a ransom of 100 million pounds, limited to three days, settled in bitcoin." ”

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

Affected, the price of Bitcoin, all the way to soaring, in just an hour, has doubled.

This is the first time that a cyber hacker organization has threatened a country by openly threatening a country, which has never happened in the past history.
