Chapter 68 Cyber Attacks
It's him?
How did he end up here?
Ke Yue was stunned, staring at the man on the podium, and fell into memory.
Six years ago, he was still working in the capital, because of the discord between his wife and him, he often went to drink to kill his sorrows, because of a drink, he met a friend by chance.
The friend didn't say where he came from, he only said that he would find a wine partner to drink with him, and in the long run, the two became good drinking friends at that food stall.
As soon as they became friends, under the urging of alcohol, the two of them almost "talked about everything", from astronomy and geography to international affairs, from emotional women to political history, all in all, the conversation with this friend always made Ke Yue feel a regret that he couldn't meet soon.
But one day, the friend lost contact, and from that day until Ke Yue divorced his wife and left the capital, he never saw the friend again.
This friend's name is "Shi Liao". A rare name.
"Comrades, good afternoon, my name is Shi Liao, and I am the host and commentator who presided over this meeting for all comrades. ”
The familiar name penetrated deep into his ears, and Ke Yue suddenly woke up from his memory, understanding that the person in front of him was indeed the friend in his memory.
He...... After he lost contact, how did he become a soldier?
Many incomprehensions swirled in Ke Yue's heart, but at this moment, listening to Shi Liao's words seemed to be more important.
"Maybe many comrades are puzzled by this meeting now, and some of them have suddenly received a notice from their superiors, so I will first give a background introduction to this meeting. ”
"My name is Shi Liao, and I am subordinate to the Foreign Cyber Warfare Intelligence Section of the Information Department under the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission. ”
"Everyone should be aware by now of the global cyber attack that happened yesterday. ”
Behind Shi Liao was a 100-inch electronic display, and when his fingers slid down, news about yesterday appeared on the screen.
It should be said that the world is shocked!
At 11:18 a.m. on October 30, the capital time, a global cyber attack was quickly staged simultaneously around the world, whether it was a TV station or a live broadcast platform on the Internet, all of them were attacked by unknown cyber attacks, resulting in the appearance of a common image.
In less than an hour, the images of the attack were silent, but the global shock that followed spread at an explosive speed, and the headlines of major media and news were covered up by this sudden incident, and the degree of detonation was even more than the 911 incident of that year.
Obviously, excluding the curiosity and surprise of ordinary civilians, governments are much more shocked and taken seriously than 911.
"According to the current statistics, taking our country as an example, a total of 256 TV channels have been affected, including most of the influential TV stations in the country, the network has been less affected, ordinary websites have not been implicated, but there are websites with live broadcast platforms, a total of 27 top-ranking websites have been attacked. ”
"So far, about 2,487 TV channels and 145 websites have been attacked around the world, covering 157 countries and regions around the world, and nearly 4 billion people have watched the unexpected video ......"
This kind of top-secret information from the state is by no means available to the current media, hearing Shi Liao's heavy voice, Ke Yue couldn't help but gasp, this, is it really what human beings can do with their current technological strength?
Shi Liao's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at the people in the conference room who were short of breath: "Comrades, you heard me right, this is not an ordinary hacker attack, but involves a national security threat, the most serious economic and military threat in history, no, I should add two words, it is the most serious economic and military threat in the history of mankind." ”
He walked back and forth, his body was vigorous and powerful, and his voice was loud, and for a while, the entire conference room couldn't help but bring a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
Suddenly, another screen next to the conference room suddenly lit up.
"Whoa......
Everyone in the room stood up and saluted!
Ke Yue also hurriedly stood up, looking at the personnel on the other screen for TV connection, only to feel that his legs were trembling.
There are only a dozen people in the TV line, but everyone in it, especially the person in the middle, is a leader who inevitably appears on the news broadcast every day, and it is also a dozen people who hold the important weapon of the country and stand at the pinnacle of power.
After the salute, everyone sat down again.
But unconsciously, everyone's back was straight, their hands were on their knees, and their eyes were looking straight ahead.
"What I just said is not an exaggeration, yesterday's 1030 incident involved an unprecedented range of countries and scopes......
"This is a secret live televised meeting within my military......"
He turned around and manipulated the computer, and then a vague internal secret live TV meeting appeared on the screen, but suddenly, the live meeting was cut off, and the image that Ke Yue was familiar with appeared.
"It can be seen that not only the civilian communication network, but also the military's encrypted communication network, has also been invaded at the same time, which is technically very difficult to achieve an attack, our internal communications are physically disconnected from the outside world, there is no access line with the global Internet, and also adopted a wireless magnetic shielding isolation, theoretically this internal secret video conference, it is impossible to be attacked. ”
"But it happened. ”
Shi Liao's face was calm, as if he was saying something that he didn't want to do with himself.
Ke Yue is very familiar with Shi Liao's attitude, and when talking to him, no matter how fierce the topic, Shi Liao never shows too much emotion, and always likes to look at problems from the perspective of a third party. And because of this, Shi Liao is often able to see many major problems that others can't see.
"In terms of cyber attacks, the United States is the most advanced country in the world, as early as the 1991 Gulf War, the US military carried out cyber warfare against Iraq, and seven years ago, the US Department of Defense officially ordered the formation of a separate cyber command, when its members exceeded 88,700 people, and the current number of employees is close to 100,000......"
This is definitely an astonishing figure, although the Information Department of the Chinese General Staff was established early, but the plan for cyber warfare is very slow; taking China as an example, there is no separate cyber warfare department, and according to the approximate guess obtained by Ke Yue at the Center for the Development of International Relations, the number of personnel specializing in China's cyber warfare will not exceed 10,000.
"As long as the United States needs to, they can launch information network attacks at any time, invade other countries, deceive, reject, disintegrate, degrade, and finally destroy enemy network systems. ”
