Chapter 108 Impossible Operation
With the rapid spread of the announcement issued by Future Technology on the Internet, in addition to causing heated discussions and doubts among netizens, several domestic mainstream Internet security companies also quickly noticed it, and they also felt very incredible.

noon that day.

imperial capital.

Singularity Security Building.

Zhou Jinghe, who was resting on the sofa in the office, was suddenly awakened by the knock on the door. He quickly opened his eyes, sat up and paused for a few seconds before answering in the direction of the door.

"Come in."

He rushed to the company from home last night, because he wanted to fix the loopholes as soon as possible to prevent the equipment from being attacked by this virus program, so he stayed up all night with the staff of the technical department. I intend to sleep in my office.

If someone came to look for him right now, something urgent must have happened, so naturally he didn't dare to delay.

Duan Wusheng pushed the door open, saw Zhou Jinghe who had just gotten up from the sofa, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I still have to come here to disturb your rest at this time."

"If something happens, just tell me directly."

Zhou Jinghe directly ignored Duan Wusheng's politeness, walked to the seat in front of the computer and asked him about his specific situation.

Hearing his boss's words, Duan Wusheng naturally didn't make any more detours, and immediately reported truthfully: "This is Mr. Zhou, who just issued an official announcement on Future Technology in response to the mutant ransomware virus that spread rapidly on the Internet."

"Oh yeah, what did they say?" Zhou Jinghe was curious when he heard the sound.

"The other party stated that they will launch their own security protection program in two days to ensure that users' equipment will not be attacked by viruses."

"In two days, they can do it with their strength." Listening to Duan Wusheng's report, Zhou Jinghe nodded in agreement, and did not doubt the announcement issued by Future Technology.

After all, Future Technology disclosed the network attack address from overseas, which is enough to prove that they are not only a company mainly engaged in game engine authorization, but also have relatively powerful technical means in the field of Internet security.

To be able to achieve this level, the company must have a good internal protection system.

It's just not made public.

In this case, I chose to commercially release my own protection system. Although the two days are a bit tight, it is not impossible to make it out.

This is nothing to be surprised about.

But Zhou Jinghe didn't expect Duan Wusheng to report much more than that, almost as soon as his words fell, Duan Wusheng's voice rang in his ears again.

"There is also a general manager of information."

"They also said that their own security protection program can intelligently crack the encryption key for encrypted files, so as to achieve [-]% recovery of data information."

what?
Recover locked data?
Zhou Jinghe, who had already leaned his back comfortably on the chair, was just about to turn on the computer to check the situation on the Internet, when he was suddenly startled by Duan Wusheng's words, and subconsciously sat upright.

There was a look of disbelief on his face.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he came back to his senses and hurriedly asked: "Is this true, can data be recovered by future technology?"

Because this kind of ransomware virus is quite special, if you can’t get the secret key, you can’t restore the data information to normal. After all, when it first came out, the producer used it to make money.

Domestic Internet security giants can only fix vulnerabilities and add patches to prevent other terminal devices from being attacked by viruses.

But the equipment that has been recruited can only admit that it is unlucky.

The locked data information is no different from being completely scrapped, and the loss must be borne by oneself.

And now the latest virus program is an upgraded and enhanced version of the previous ransomware virus.

Not only is it easier to be recruited, but it can also attack mobile phones and computers at the same time, and there is no way to obtain the encryption key at all. It can be said that the loss is already a certainty.

Right now they are working overtime all night just to fix the loopholes and prevent the rapid spread of this virus program as soon as possible.

But Future Technology actually threatened to recover the locked data.

And it is still [-]% recovered.

This is completely impossible.

You must know that there is no guarantee to what extent the lost data information can be recovered in the end, let alone it is encrypted and locked by a virus program.

Just as he was thinking about this, Duan Wusheng replied with a serious expression: "The other party indeed said so. Although it has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, there are still many people who are willing to believe it."

When Duan Wusheng's words reached his ears, Zhou Jinghe suddenly fell into silence.

He really didn't think that with the reputation of future technology, he would cheat on this matter. Since he dared to speak out, he should have a certain degree of certainty.

However, the technical knowledge he possessed clearly told him that this was absolutely impossible.

So after a little contemplation, I had to ask Duan Wusheng's opinion again, trying to make a general judgment in my heart.

"Old Duan, is it possible to restore the encrypted data information in other ways besides obtaining the creator's key?"

"The virus program we discovered this time directly encrypts and overwrites the original file. Without the key, it is almost impossible to recover. Even if we use brute force to crack it, in addition to requiring a lot of computing power, I am afraid that only a small part of the information that can be recovered in the end."

Facing Zhou Jinghe's question, Duan Wusheng didn't have any doubts, and immediately said a few words about the actual situation according to his own understanding.

Mainly, the number of device terminals under attack this time will be more than 300 million. There is no way to apply brute force cracking methods. No matter how you look at it, it is already a fatal situation.

But Duan Wusheng didn't say a word.

That is, if the key can be deciphered, and the key can be used to restore the data information, it can naturally ensure that the file information will not be lost.

But he doesn't think that with the current level of Internet technology, this operation can be completed.

There is no difference between speaking and not speaking.

But I have to say that Duan Wusheng's answer successfully increased Zhou Jinghe's confidence, and then he seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately ordered: "Old Duan, no matter what method you use, I will release their security information in the future technology." Complete the vulnerability patching of our security guards before the protection program."

"We must seize this opportunity tightly."

Zhou Jinghe is well aware of the company's current situation. Although it has made many major achievements in the field of Internet security and possesses a technical level that far surpasses domestic competitors in the industry, its own network protection software security guard is gradually dying.

It is called rogue software by many netizens.

In the final analysis, it is because it is unwilling to give up the benefits, so that it is basically not trusted by users today.

It can be thought that drastic rectification will be carried out, not to mention that it will cause major losses to the company, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to restore users.

However, as long as the patch can be updated first to prevent the attack of virus programs, users will have to download and install the security guard whether they like it or not in order to avoid their own equipment being poisoned.

The only thing that poses a threat to the singularity in this matter is future technology.

Penguins don't have to worry about it at all.

After all, the potential user stickiness of Future Technology is much higher than them. Coupled with the heat brought by the previous two chip design software and domestic top-level lithography machines, if the security protection program is really released, it will definitely welcome users in a short time explosive growth.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no living space for security guards.

At the same time he was gambling.

Betting that the security protection program released by Future Technology cannot recover the encrypted data information, or the recovery effect is not very good, so they still have a chance.

Because the field of Internet security is not the main business of Future Technology in the final analysis, it will certainly not invest too much resources and energy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, this is absolutely no problem. It is estimated that users will be able to download the patch tonight."

"That's great."

"For the past two days, you will stay at the company for the time being, and establish a security line for the majority of users. I will order a big meal for you later."

Knowing that the bug can be updated in the evening, Zhou Jinghe finally heard the good news, relaxed a little, and immediately reached out to pat Duan Wusheng on the shoulder, deliberately showing a very generous and caring look for the employees.

Duan Wusheng naturally couldn't say anything about it, and after nodding his reassurance, he turned and left the office.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Just as Duan Wusheng promised, the technical department under his leadership finally patched the loopholes successfully after continuous work, and released an update patch to users as soon as possible.

As long as the security guard on the device terminal is updated and downloaded with a patch, it can effectively prevent the attack of virus programs.

Although everyone did not have a good impression of Security Guard in the past, because Penguin's housekeeper and other company products have released update patches, for the sake of the safety of various stored data on their devices, they had to re-download and install Security Guard.

However, when more and more users installed Security Guard to effectively control the spread of virus programs, everyone discovered a new problem.

Although there is no need to worry about the device being attacked, it is necessary to uninstall inexplicably extra software and games from time to time.

Even some equipment that is not well-equipped has directly become an old model.

One card for half a day.

In the end, it just turned into a situation where users ran to the relevant accounts of Singularity Security to gather anger while enduring the inconvenience caused by the security guards.

Looking at the development history of the domestic Internet, it is extremely rare for such a scene to be called outrageous.

But compared to the speechlessness of these users, the people who have already been recruited are the most worthy of attention.

As of the update patch released by Singularity Security, the number of devices under attack has reached as high as 300 million, including individual users and small and medium-sized enterprises.

For this reason, many companies involved can only choose to suspend business temporarily, and the degree of loss is immeasurable. Therefore, they can only put their last hope on the security protection program to be released by Future Technology, hoping that this program software can really restore encrypted data information .

Otherwise, the hard work and sweat of many people for many years may be wasted with these encrypted data information.
