Chapter 7: Redrain (Red Rain)
Liu Mingchuan entered the office of the personnel department and saw several other team leaders following up.
He said: "Don't mess up, everyone, immediately call Zheng Yongjun to rush back to the company, he should have the latest antivirus software there."
Do not shut down the poisoned computer first, otherwise all data may be lost. However, you can unplug the network cable. ”
After thinking about it, he added, "If the computer is not turned on, don't turn it on again." Also, call Gong Hai over. ”
He suddenly found that Zhou Xiaoxiao's computer was turned on, so he reached out and turned on the monitor.
I found that this computer did not have a blue screen, and the desktop was still displayed normally.
"Strange, how come this machine doesn't seem to be poisoned?" Han Donghua also saw the situation on the screen and said in surprise on the side.
Liu Mingchuan operated with the mouse, trying to click to open the resource browser, but the computer crashed and crashed instantly.
No matter how much he clicked, there was no response.
"It's weird, it's different from other computers." Another team leader said.
Liu Mingchuan went to open Fang Yuan's computer again, and soon the computer was in a blue screen state.
Gong Hai came in at this time.
"Let's talk about it, why did the virus break out as soon as the manager Fang's computer was opened?" Liu Mingchuan looked at Gong Hai and asked.
"Mr. Liu, I really don't know what's going on. Han Donghua and a few of them were also there at the time, and I turned on the computer not long ago, and only then did I open the network window of the system, wanting to see if there was a remote connection, and the result was a blue screen directly.
I think it should have been poisoned before, but it didn't start, and it detonated not long after I turned it on. ”
Liu Mingchuan frowned, obviously what Gong Hai said should be the truth, Fang Yuan's computer should have been poisoned before.
Suddenly, he remembered that Li Chunfeng had suggested to him that since the internal and external networks were separated, the computers of non-R&D departments should be placed on the external network.
It's just that the other vice president wanted unified management, so they were all placed on the intranet, and other departments had field business, and they were equipped with laptops.
Now it's causing such a big mess. For the company, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
Liu Mingchuan looked at the team leaders in the room and said, "Everyone knows that the company is a critical period, and the virus accident that happened tonight wants to inform their team members and not spread the word." When Zheng Yongjun arrives, let him come to my office. ”
After speaking, Liu Mingchuan walked out of the personnel department directly and returned to his office.
Judging from the situation of this computer poisoning, Liu Mingchuan felt that it was not an ordinary accidental infection with a virus, but a very destructive virus that had been placed in a targeted manner.
Suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Kevin, there is something to trouble you, our company's intranet virus has exploded, all computers have blue screens, and I don't know how big the intranet data loss is."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Liu Mingchuan then spoke on the phone with several other CEOs, and each of them explained, explained and guaranteed.
In addition, it was agreed that an emergency meeting would be held tomorrow, especially to ask Fang Yuan how her computer was poisoned.
Twenty minutes passed like this, and there was a sudden knock on the office door, and Zheng Yongjun then pushed the door and walked in.
"All the things are known?" Liu Mingchuan asked with a somewhat ugly face.
Zheng Yongjun nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, I will also tell you about a situation, in the afternoon, I was just about to clean up Li Chunfeng's computer, but it turned out to be infected with a virus, and it was later reformatted by me. ”
"What do you say? Is there a virus in Li Chunfeng's computer? No way! Liu Mingchuan knew Li Chunfeng's personality and would never believe that his computer would have a virus.
"Mr. Liu, I'm not sure, but later the public server on the intranet also had a strange crash, so I used the antivirus software I just bought to check and kill.
I confirmed that no virus was found, and it happened that there was something at home today, so I left work.
I didn't expect a virus to appear on Manager Fang's computer, which must have happened later tonight. ”
"In this way, you use the new antivirus software to deal with it one computer at a time. See how much data you can salvage. Also, check for several servers that are damaged, especially code servers. ”
"Okay, then I'll go to work first." Zheng Yongjun nodded in agreement, and hurried out.
Liu Mingchuan leaned back in his chair, his face full of fatigue.
After a while, he picked up his phone and looked at the time, expecting that Kevin would arrive in a few minutes, so he got up and walked out of the office, ready to greet him.
Kevin is a well-known white hat hacker in the industry, and he is an old friend, living not far from the company, so he should be able to help recover some data.
Not long after I got to the front desk, Kevin came.
This is also a young man in his twenties, his face is a little pale, his hair is not well kept, a little messy, and he carries a black leather bag on his shoulder.
When he saw Liu Mingchuan, he said directly: "Take me to see." ”
"Come on. Let's take a look at the computer where the virus first broke out. Liu Mingchuan led Kevin to the office of the personnel department.
The lights in the office are still on, and the computers of Fang Yuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao in the four workstations are still on.
Kevin came to Fang Yuan's computer and looked at the blue screen, a trace of doubt flashing across his face.
Then, he sat down, took out a USB flash drive from the leather bag he was carrying, and inserted it into a USB port in the case.
Then I pressed the power button again.
After a few moments, the computer restarts and enters a command-line interface.
Kevin quickly typed a few commands.
The screen scrolls quickly.
Kevin continued typing commands, as if ignoring the scrolling interface.
After more than ten seconds, the interface suddenly stopped.
There is only one word on it, "Redrain"!
Kevin's face changed. raised his head, looked at Liu Mingchuan, and said, "How did you provoke 'Red Rain'?" ”
"Who is he?" Liu Mingchuan heard that Kevin's tone was a little nervous, and asked hurriedly.
Kevin sighed and said, "Red Rain is the hacker who suddenly became famous in the last year, and no one knows his gender, age, or any information.
However, it was he who did last year's attack on the e-commerce platform of the 'Imperial City' company. ”
"What?! Wasn't that incident rumored to be the work of the famous hacker of the 'Tianfang' company? Liu Mingchuan exclaimed.
"Do you think that with the competitive relationship between the 'Imperial City' and the 'Heavenly Fang', with the current status of that hacker, it is necessary to do such a thing?
This matter has been widely spread in the domestic hacker community. It is said that this 'Red Rain' has a habit of leaving his name behind no matter whether he invades or does something. It's simply ignoring the people of the Cyber Regulatory Bureau.
I've seen a worm he released, and when I saw this blue screen, I thought it might be him.
Just now, he used a scanning and identification instruction left by him in the hacker forum to find the traces he left behind, and it turned out to be really him!
This virus is a composite virus, which combines the characteristics of CIH and panda incense, and is extremely destructive. And it's a suicide virus, and it's been inspired to self-detonate.
So maybe there are no viruses left in your company's network. But it is estimated that the data of your company's infected computer tonight must be complete, and I don't know if the hardware is damaged. I can only use stupid methods to check and clean up one by one, and I guess your network administrator will do it too. ”
Kevin was a little heavy and explained the matter to Liu Mingchuan.
Liu Mingchuan said strangely: "'Red Rain' is so powerful, why is it targeting our company, and it is also through the employees of our company that this virus is brought into the intranet." With the size of our company, is it necessary for him to be so thoughtful? ”
Doubts flashed in Kevin's eyes, and he said, "What you said makes sense, maybe your company has offended him?" ”
Liu Mingchuan suddenly remembered something, pulled Kevin to Zhou Xiaoxiao's computer, and said: "Kevin, look at this computer again, it is still connected to the Internet, but I found that it did not have a blue screen, and it only crashed after I operated it." ”
"Oh, is it? Let me see. ”
Kevin still booted it on a USB stick, and then did the same thing as before, and finally the interface didn't show anything.
Kevin was so confused by this sight that he quickly took out a disc from his purse and inserted it into the drive to run it.
This is followed by a series of operations on the command line interface.
The interface scrolled rapidly, and after a full three minutes had passed.
The interface suddenly stopped, and two words were written on it, "Thank you!" ”
Kevin and Liu Mingchuan were shocked beyond comprehension and were stunned on the spot.
