Chapter 12: The Terrible Ransomware Virus
At eight o'clock in the morning, Miao Dazhuang took Rhubarb to the bottom of Longting Mansion and called Lu Yaxuan to go downstairs to get the anti-virus program.
After more than ten minutes, Lu Yaxuan was late, today Lu Yaxuan was wearing a white dress that was not over the knee, a pair of snow-white slender thighs were directly exposed to the air, her face was painted with a light makeup, her slightly curly chocolate-colored long hair fell on her chest, and she smiled at Da Zhuang, this smile made Da Zhuang stunned, he was still a little complaining that someone was going downstairs too slowly, and a little complaint disappeared without a trace in an instant......
Da Zhuang "cough" twice, relieved his heart, took out the USB flash drive and said to Lu Yaxuan: "This is the anti-virus program, you go back and plug the USB drive into the computer and then turn it on, the anti-virus program will automatically start to check and kill viruses on the computer." ”
"Well, okay, are you going to go up and sit down?" Lu Yaxuan said to Miao Dazhuang a little nervously, this is the first time she has asked a boy to her house...
Miao Dazhuang pointed at the rhubarb with his finger and said, "No, it's inconvenient, okay, I'm going to walk the dog, goodbye." ”
"Can you please take me for a walk with the dog?" Lu Yaxuan asked Miao Dazhuang
"It's the first time I've heard someone say this kind of request, let's go." Miao Dazhuang said
"Isn't this enough," Lu Yaxuan winked at Miao Dazhuang a little mischievously
Miao Dazhuang looked at Lu Yaxuan and smiled at each other, and then walked away with rhubarb...
Lu Yaxuan, who returned home, couldn't wait to insert the USB flash drive into the computer. Then turn it on, the screen is still locked with an iron door, and there are 4 days and 5 hours of countdown on it. If you do not unlock it after 4 days and 5 hours, all data in the computer will be destroyed.
Seeing that the advance light of the USB flash drive was flashing, Lu Yaxuan typed a few words on the keyboard according to Miao Dazhuang's request.
"Retrieving viruses, 1% ...... completed"
A prompt popped up from the screen, making Lu Yaxuan look happy.
After 3 minutes, the value jumped to 100%, and the computer screen lit up, and the familiar Windows desktop was restored. Everyone didn't know that in Lu Yaxuan's house, the demon cave virus that endangered the world had been cracked.
Miao Dazhuang returned home, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to sell the antivirus program to the company, after all, if he wants to completely solve the virus, he can't do it on his own, he can only use a large antivirus platform to promote, and at the same time, it can also solve Miao Dazhuang's current lack of money, after all, to open a technology company, it is not possible to have its own office buildings and laboratories, and these all need money.
Miao Dazhuang walked to the computer, looked at the 630 antivirus software on his computer, and said in his heart: "It's him, anyway, who sells it is not for sale." ”
Miao Dazhuang found the official Weibo of Tiger Riding Technology. After hesitating, I edited a message and sent it with an email.
Without the email address of the person in charge of the company, he can only use this method, originally he planned to hack into the company and tell them directly, but think about it, this may have too much impact, anyway, it has only been 5 days since the virus appeared, and it is too late to complete the antivirus, there is no need to go to extremes.
At present, all the news media are putting the matter of the devil's cave ransomware on the front page.
"Kyushu has closed virtual currency trading, what is the solution of the computer virus? 》
The Devil's Cave Virus has now infected nearly 10 million computers. 》
"Affected by the Devil's Cave Virus, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise. 》
………
There are all kinds of reports on the Internet, and almost all of them have been affected in Europe, where the Devil's Cave ransomware virus was first discovered.
The whole of Europe is gloomy, and the main areas of attack this time are stock exchange centers, banks, government departments, universities, energy companies, metro systems, corporate companies, supermarkets, etc.
The forced closure of the European stock exchanges has led to chaos in the stock market, and many banks' computers have been attacked, ATMs have been unable to withdraw money, and banks have been unable to conduct business normally.
The Federal NHS was also attacked, and the computer systems of all its hospitals were infected, preventing some rescue and ambulance dispatches.
In just a few days, with the spread of the Devil's Cave ransomware virus, it officially evolved into a global virus crisis. This ransomware virus is several times more terrifying than previous virus crises.
Worldwide, tens of millions of computers have been infected with viruses and have been locked screens. If you reinstall the system, all the data in the computer will also be lost.
Many people's important information is still in the computer, and they definitely can't reinstall the system, and they are still waiting for a solution.
Affected by the Devil's Cave ransomware virus. Microsoft's stock plunged 8% in response, wiping nearly $50 billion off its market value.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also opened a case to search the world for hacking groups that create ransomware viruses.
After finding the source of the "Devil's Cave" ransomware virus, they soon discovered that it was the result of months of careful planning by high-level hackers, and it is still impossible to find out.
Many network security companies also issued warnings as soon as possible, reminding users not to click on problematic emails.
All kinds of measures, all kinds of reports are overwhelming.
For five days, the "Devil's Cave" ransomware virus infected the computer. It has exceeded 10 million units.
Many network security companies can only give advice on prevention, but there is no real antivirus software that can detect and kill the "devil's cave" virus.
There are only two days left before the first computers infected with the virus. If you can't find a way to kill the virus within 2 days, all the data on your computer will be destroyed
Many people have despered and have started paying virtual currencies such as Bitcoin to hackers. Get the key to unlock the computer.
However, the market supervision department in Kyushu has long closed the virtual currency trading platform.
Therefore, this virus crisis makes it impossible for domestic computers infected with viruses to "redeem themselves".
Some people can only hope that there is a way to detect and kill viruses at the last minute, otherwise all the important data in their computers will be lost......
There are several Weibo operation specialists of Tiger Riding Technology Company, and Zhang Tiantian is one of them.
The vigorous development of Weibo is also a channel for some companies to release news to the outside world, and there is a demand, which has given birth to this new type of occupation.
At this time, Zhang Tiantian was lying next to the computer, browsing Weibo messages in a daze. As a Weibo operation specialist, she is the cute girl behind the official Weibo.
Netizens summed up their work: they did the design, wrote the articles, grasped the hot spots, talked about current affairs, pulled the lace, posted the content, got the comments, and sold the cuteness.
Sometimes when they see interesting comments, they will reply to them.
After the recent ransomware outbreak, their cybersecurity company was the focus of attention, and Weibo comments were more than ten times more than usual.
As a Weibo operation specialist, this time can make them miserable, as cute girls, the dark circles under their eyes have been boiled out.
Suddenly, Zhang Tiantian paused the mouse in his hand and his eyes fell on a message.
"The great strength of civilization?"
Zhang Tiantian looked at the message of the news, and immediately cheered up, looking hesitant. Just when he saw the office director coming over, he immediately made up his mind.
"Director, come and read this Weibo message." Zhang Tiantian pointed to the computer screen.
Zhou Hai heard Zhang Tiantian's voice, paused and walked towards him. The Weibo operation commissioner generally has no major events, and he will not trouble him, the director of the office.
Walk over to the computer. Seeing Zhang Tiantianzi's news clearly, Zhou Hai's eyes froze, and his expression became cautious.
"You print out a screenshot of this message."
It didn't take long for Zhou Hai to walk towards Mr. Lin's office with the printed paper. If this news is true, then the stakes are high.
Mr. Lin, this is a message on Weibo, I feel that the matter is very important, so I will report it to you. After Zhou Hai entered the president's office, he handed the printed paper to Lin Wei.
"Huh?"
After seeing the above content, Lin Wei's eyes froze, and then flickered. After hesitating, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact information in the email.
Now is the peak period of the "devil's cave" ransomware, and their company's cybersecurity team is looking for ways to detect and kill the ransomware day and night.
He also keeps an eye on the progress, and there has been some progress so far, but the distance has been cracked. There's still a long way to go, after all, what advanced hackers painstakingly plan is not so easy to get.
But now a person suddenly appears to say that he has developed a program to crack the "devil's cave" ransomware virus, which has to make him pay attention.
The other party contacted him, obviously wanting to sell the cracked program to the company and negotiate a deal, if he got the cracked method, then their company would definitely gain fame and fortune.
Miao Dazhuang was holding the rhubarb mobile phone and suddenly remembered: "Hey, hello, who is it?" ”
"Hello, I'm Lin Wei from the Tiger Riding Company, what do you call me?"
"Miao Da Zhuang"
Hello Mr. Miao, I am interested in the software you have researched, can you send the program installation package to us to test it? ”
"Let's test it in person, come to the Left Bank café in H City, contact me when it arrives, I'll go over, face to face. If you're afraid that I'll lie to you, you can not come, I can contact the penguins, hunting cats. Miao Dazhuang said
"Okay, I'll go over now, let's meet and talk. After Lin Wei hung up his phone, he immediately stood up from his seat and looked at the helper: "Xiao Wang, book a ticket and prepare to go to H City." ”
