Chapter 106 The Trojan horse program that spreads wildly 【Subscription】

It has been more than three months since the top domestic lithography machine was developed, and the impact on the entire semiconductor industry has basically stabilized. The relevant content that can be seen everywhere on the Internet has once again been replaced by topics that are not nutritious.

But under the surface that seems to have returned to calm, a new storm is actually brewing.

October 6, Wednesday.

Qiao Mu, who had just finished dinner, sat in front of the computer and moved the mouse skillfully. He looked even better than when he just graduated.

In particular, the inherently fair skin is even more eye-catching.

Ever since he listened to Xu Lei's live broadcast of the Godless Realm game of Huanxing Studio, he was like a little pig standing on the wind, experiencing the feeling of taking off.

Not only has his fans and popularity increased rapidly, but also many businesses have sought him out for cooperation.

So Qiao Mu quit her original job and became a full-time anchor, and her career has been on the rise since then.

And in the follow-up, in order to further enhance his influence, he occasionally shoots beauty tutorial videos and publishes them on major video platforms, and the playback volume is basically over one million.

Properly confirmed the old saying.

God rewards the meal.

And the reason why there was no live broadcast tonight was precisely because he wanted to edit the material he had shot so that he could complete the weekly updates on time.

"It seems that the material is only enough to last for two weeks. It seems that we need to shoot a few more next time."

At this time, Qiao Mu was staring at the computer screen, muttering thoughtfully, while moving the mouse to click into the hard disk to check the stored video materials, thinking whether to take a few more while he had time.

Unlike other video bloggers, Qiao Mu likes to shoot multiple videos at one time, and then release them on time every week.

Otherwise, if you shoot, cut and hair now, you will always feel inexplicably tired.

But when Qiao Mu clicked the mouse, he was stunned by the situation in front of him, and his whole body froze instantly and fell into a daze.

It took about two or three seconds before he realized it, and sweared on the spot.

"Fuck!"

"What happened to my video?"

Because under the gaze of his gaze, the several videos he originally saved on the screen have been encrypted, and no matter how he operates, he still cannot click on them.

He had seen this situation on the news before, saying it was a ransomware virus.

A certain amount of money is required to unlock the locked information.

But the strange thing is that no matter how he clicked, the extortion page mentioned in the news did not appear, as if he deliberately encrypted his files maliciously, not for making money.

You must know that this situation is no different from information loss, it is simply as disgusting as you want.

The key deleted data can still be recovered, but this one can only stare blankly.

"My computer has never browsed a paid website, how could it be inexplicably tricked, did it come from the fan group?
Qiao Mu recalled in his mind what he had done with the computer in the past few days. It seemed that there were no dangerous operations other than playing games and live broadcasting. At most, he saved some emoticons in his fan group.

But now it's useless to say anything. As a top student in related majors, he knows very well that without a key, he can't crack the encryption above, which means that all the video materials he has worked hard for more than ten hours are scrapped.

But thinking that the weekly fixed video could not be updated, his brows could not help but frown.

After all, no matter whether he started the live broadcast or posted the video, he never delayed the update, so how could such things affect his promise.

He doesn't want to be called a pigeon by fans.

When the thoughts came to this point, a bold idea suddenly exploded in his mind, making his eyes gradually brighten and whispered softly: "This is a good reason to explain, anyway, as long as you post a video, it won't be considered a delay."

The voice just fell.

He quickly got up to get the camera next to him.

Compared with shooting the original beauty tutorial video, this one is very simple. Qiao Mu completed the shooting in just ten minutes, and decisively released it on his account after completing the simple post-production.

Maybe it's because Qiao Mu didn't have the habit of procrastinating. Many fans who follow him will wait for the new video update on time.

So when I saw the video coming out at night, I quickly clicked to watch it.

At first, everyone thought that this video was a beauty tutorial just like before, but after the video was played, they realized what was going on, and at the same time, many people burst into swearing in the barrage.

Mainly they found that everyone had the same experience.

Although Qiao Mu said that most of the videos posted were beauty tutorials, but I don’t know if it’s because of the boys. The background of the account shows that the proportion of male fans is as high as 70.00%, so the barrage and comment areas of the videos often reveal weird things. atmosphere.

And the atmosphere in this video comment area is even more weird.

"Fuck, I've been tricked too. Hundreds of masterpieces I've worked so hard to download are locked before I can read them. I thought it was caused by anti-virus software!"

"I haven't watched it yet. Maybe you've watched hundreds of episodes of Pleasant Goat. Thinking about it like this will make you feel better."

"Which idiot made this thing? It doesn't affect anything on the computer, it just encrypts your stored information."

"Purely rotten and rotten."

"I dare say I'm not alone. I thought I got the virus because I clicked on a paid website. So many people got caught."

"I even got tricked by my mobile phone, what a pervert."

"Your situation is alright. Our company was completely lost this afternoon. If the encrypted information cannot be recovered, I don't know how much money will be lost. The key point is that I can't find a way to buy the key now."

"During the day, I saw that my roommate was recruited, so I specially installed the security guard and computer housekeeper on the computer. I didn't expect it to be used or not, and the data should be locked or locked."

……

Qiao Mu originally released this video for the water video, but after seeing many people in the comment area talking about their experiences, he realized that things might not be that simple.

After all, if this thing continues to spread, not only will it affect everyone's daily life, but many companies will suffer heavy losses.

Especially small and medium companies.

What Qiao Mu didn't expect was that the impact of this incident was far more serious than he expected. Almost immediately after his video was released, related news rushed to the top of the search list on major websites.

In particular, this is related to whether the locked data on your computer can be recovered, even though it is already late at night, there are still a lot of netizens discussing it.

Besides.

The Singularity Company that developed the security guard, the computer housekeeper under Penguin, and the Ali Dharma Academy have distributed statements, saying that they are adding patches as soon as possible to ensure that users' devices will not be invaded by this program again.

-

"How is the situation, can it be resolved?"

imperial capital.

Singularity Corporation Building.

After Zhou Jinghe learned about the virus program that attacked a large number of devices, he rushed from home to the company without taking a break, and immediately asked the person in charge of the technical department about the situation after arriving at the company.

In the field of Internet security, their strength is undoubtedly very strong. Now that such a powerful Trojan horse program suddenly appears in China, they must patch this loophole as soon as possible to prevent more devices from being attacked.

To be honest, Duan Wusheng, the person in charge of the technical department, did not want this kind of thing to happen. After all, every time this happened, it meant that the entire technical department would have to stay up all night.

But after he learned the details of the Trojan horse program in detail, he felt very pessimistic about it.

Facing Zhou Jinghe's inquiry at this time, he didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, this virus program is more powerful than the similar programs we encountered before, and the other party doesn't seem to ask for money for users to buy keys. The move is purely for the purpose of attacking the data stored in computers and mobile phones."

"We are currently working on adding patches to the security guard as soon as possible, hoping to prevent the intrusion of this virus program, but the locked files may not be restored without the key."

After hearing Duan Wusheng's answer, Zhou Jinghe's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

In recent years, due to the criticism of security guards themselves, they have been gradually rejected by users, resulting in a continuous decline in the number of active users of security software.

However, the sudden appearance of the Trojan horse program this time is an opportunity for them. If the security guards under their company can effectively prevent the intrusion of this Trojan horse, it will definitely cause an explosive increase in the number of users.

But now it seems that the complexity of this Trojan horse program has exceeded his expectation.

Even if one's own security guards can prevent the device from being attacked, the previously attacked user data still cannot be recovered, and the economic losses caused by this alone are incalculable.

When the thought came to this point, Zhou Jinghe first sighed, and then ordered with a little helplessness: "Work hard tonight, and hurry up to fix the loopholes. Right now, I can only hope that the propagation speed of this Trojan horse program can be slowed down." .”

"I understand Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jinghe is very clear that looking at the whole country, they can be said to be the strongest in the field of Internet security research. Since even they can't recover encrypted files, the rest of the Penguin Dharma Academy can't do it.

The next day.

Since Singularity, Penguin, and Dharma Academy have not resolved the vulnerability problem, the number of devices under attack is still increasing.

All major platforms and websites on the entire network are basically captured by related topics.

After all, this incident is closely related to the interests of netizens themselves, so everyone will naturally be very concerned about it, and the affected people are almost asking everywhere for ways to restore files.

Of course, in the face of such a huge heat, Future Technology must have noticed it immediately, and immediately held a meeting to discuss it.

Because maybe every employee in the company has installed a terminal program using Xingtong's ability on their computers and mobile phones, so they have not been affected in any way. Automatically detect and intercept and destroy.
