266th to the next level
The Spring and Autumn Group is also taboo to become a victim of the game between China and the United States.
Wei Dongsheng gave the guiding ideology of the Spring and Autumn Period: struggle in cooperation, cooperation in struggle.
Now that they have been fighting behind their backs and poking knives to brutally abuse the US National Security Agency, they need to maintain an atmosphere of unity and cooperation on the surface, and disguise themselves as harmless white rabbits of humans and animals.
When asked by the media about the attitude of the Spring and Autumn Department, the spokesman decisively copied the original text of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs's condemnation routine: "The Spring and Autumn Security Steward team has known that the FreeHuman worm has the same code characteristics as the hacking kit published by the Avengers. The Spring and Autumn Security Stewards team is currently unsure whether these Trojans originated from the US National Security Agency, but the Freehuman worm incident and the Eternal Red incident show that hackers' illegal attacks have been organized, institutionalized, and public, and seriously threaten the security of the Internet. Spring & Autumn strongly condemns this illegal attack and is willing to work responsibly with domestic and foreign security software vendors to maintain network security. ”
The second big news, the Avengers Archive revealed a worm called Stuxnet.
Compared to the Freehuman worm, the Stuxnet worm is more serious in that the XNet worm can spread without network transmission, can destroy the core production control computer software used by nuclear power plants, dams, national power grids, chemical companies, etc., and can bypass facility managers to dictate to other computers.
According to the information disclosed by the Avengers organization, the stuxnet worm exploited multiple vulnerabilities in the Indos system and Siemens simatic_incc monitoring and data acquisition system, forged driver digital signatures and other ways to invade and spread, breaking through the physical limitations of industrial private LANs. According to one data, 10% of infections occurred in China, Pakistan, and Germany; 10% of infections occur in India; 20% of infections occur in Indonesia; 60% of infections occur in Iran. Another report from the National Security Agency or the CIA shows that the Stuxnet worm has been effective in retarding Iran's nuclear program; If it is determined that Russia has begun to help Iran substantially, for example, by loading nuclear fuel into the nuclear reactors of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, the Stuxnet worm can also destroy the Bushehr nuclear power plant, for example, by quietly destroying centrifuges.
The information has been released to this extent, and the mastermind behind it is very clear.
Stuxnet is a highly targeted worm that targets Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, how can it be the work of an ordinary civilian hacking organization?
After clarifying the characteristics of the Stuxnet worm and verifying that the Stuxnet worm is really wreaking havoc on the Iranian Internet, security experts have concluded that the Stuxnet worm must have originated from the intelligence services. A comprehensive analysis of the international situation shows that the United States has done so.
If the stuxnet worm is the work of the United States, the hacking kit published by the Avengers organization must also be the work of the National Security Agency; The huge amount of traffic arrears caused by the freehuman worm must be 100% caused by the US National Security Agency.
As a result, public opinion exploded in an instant.
The Spring and Autumn Security Butler team added fuel to the fire in a timely manner: "In December 2009, the Spring and Autumn Security Manager was updated, and then the market advantage big data was used to dynamically detect potential threats on the whole network, and the characteristics of the Stuxnet worm were discovered at the end of January 2010. However, due to the small number of samples in the enterprise and the unfamiliarity with Siemens' simatic_incc monitoring and data acquisition system, the Spring and Autumn Security Steward team underestimated the harm of the Stuxnet worm and only regarded it as a common worm or commercial espionage worm with a low infection rate in China. What do you think, the Spring and Autumn Security Steward's report on the Stuxnet worm has not yet been released, and it has been revealed by the Avengers that it is flooding the global market. ”
The Spring and Autumn Security Steward team added a detailed research report, which showed that the threat of similar cyber weapons was greater than that of the Eternal Red variant, and even the partners of Panyang Zhuwei Group and the wafer factories cooperated by Zhiyu Telecom and Hua Hong also had cyber weapons similar to the Stuxnet worm.
Fortunately, the Spring and Autumn security stewards launched a sweep operation a few days ago, and all of them have now been cleared.
But what about the market outside the share of Spring and Autumn Security Butlers?
Do those critical infrastructures harbor large numbers of cyberweapon-grade worms?
No one can guarantee it.
The Eternal Red variant virus can only threaten the normal social order, and the network will be disabled for a few days at most; Cyber weapons similar to the Stuxnet worm are aimed at nuclear power plants, dams and other important facilities. In the case of a nuclear power plant, for example, if the enemy successfully attacks and leaks radioactive materials, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Cybersecurity equals national security.
Without cybersecurity, there is no cybersecurity.
A few days ago, netizens still didn't care a little and felt that this sentence was a bit exaggerated; At this moment, when the madness of the Eternal Red variant virus is linked to the unscrupulous attack of the Freehuman worm on the operating system of smartphones, and the huge risk of the Stuxnet worm attacking nuclear power plants, no one has the confidence to question this sentence in an instant.
Internet media and official Internet media, which are not influenced by US capital, are not very taboo about this news, and feel that the evidence is sufficient, so they sharply accuse the US National Security Agency and the US Central Intelligence Agency of deliberately starting a cyber war. Netizens with simple patriotism have also followed the trend to condemn the United States and call on the country to build a real Great Wall of the Internet. After these public opinions formed public opinion, the Internet media influenced by American capital also considered the vocabulary of the platform.
In all of this, the global virus crisis, which had just had a downward trend, suddenly bucked the trend and became the hottest event in 2010
