Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 178 Eternal Blue
The patent war between Zhongxing Group and Google Microhard is in full swing.

A general intellectual property lawsuit would take more than three months at the fastest, and Zhongxing Group did not plan to settle with Brother Gu, so this lawsuit was filed slowly.

Moreover, the Star Group is invincible. Ye Donghe doesn't want to turn over the Chinese language card so quickly. He wants to play slowly with Brother Gu and the others.

Anyway, in August, Dongyin Water and Taiwei System completely dominated the screen.

It became the number one hot search in two or three days, and the Internet was full of news about Yinhe Technology.

On the other hand, Google and Microsoft did not sit still. After all, this is the home field of Galaxy Technology, and the official attitude must be biased towards Galaxy Technology.

So they prepared with both hands, while fighting the lawsuit with Zhongxing Group, and at the same time sending people to lobby Dongtang's domestic mobile phone and computer manufacturers.

However, Google had a hard time with Huawei, but Microsoft managed to appease most of the computer manufacturers and keep them in a neutral attitude.

For their every move, Huang Haojie was under Zhong's [-]/[-] monitoring, and it was crystal clear.

"Zhong, call out the eternal blue."

Eternal Blue refers to the night of April 2017, 4, when the hacker group Shadow Brokers (Shadow Brokers) announced a large number of cyber attack tools.

It includes the "eternal blue" tool, "eternal blue" can use the SMB vulnerability of the microhardware system to obtain the highest system authority.

Criminals created a ransomware virus by modifying "Eternal Blue". Many university intranets, large enterprise intranets, and government agency private networks around the world were recruited, and they were extorted to pay a high ransom to decrypt and restore files.

Huang Junjie put on a brain-controlled induction helmet.

In an instant, lines of code were generated on the screen, and he was improving this ransomware virus with Zhong's cooperation.

About half an hour later, a brand new virus appeared on Huang Haojie's computer.

This virus will scan the terminals of the Microsoft system or the Google system with open file sharing ports. It does not require any operation by the user, as long as the computer is turned on and connected to the Internet, it can spread on computers, servers, and mobile phones.

Even the system that has downloaded the patch cannot escape the infection of this virus.

And this virus will not completely lock the computer or mobile phone, but will produce three types of attacks intermittently.

The first is letter lock. The virus will randomly lock several letters, so that the mobile phone or computer cannot enter these locked letters.

The second is to prohibit the camera; the third is to freeze the screen.

These three attacks will attack mobile phones and computers at random times and types.

"Chong, spread this virus to the whole world, but avoid the hospital and banking system, and control the infection rate to 5%, and keep changing the infected targets." Huang Haojie ordered.

"Ok."

Zhong Zhong used the backdoor left on terminals all over the world to infect mobile phones and computers crazily.

However, any terminal that is connected to the Internet cannot prevent the invasion of this virus.

……

At this moment, Wang Xiaocong, Qin Nu and his group are playing chicken in a large Internet cafe in Shanghai.

"Quick, quick, watch out from behind."

"Throw flash!"

"Damn, I hung up."

Wang Xiaocong suddenly saw a figure appearing in the distance, quickly picked up the sniper rifle, aimed at the target in one go, and pressed the F key to shoot.

Huh? What the hell? Why is the other party still alive and kicking?
Aim again, F key to shoot.

Seeing that the sniper rifle did not fire, Wang Xiaocong quickly pressed the F button, but there was still no response at all.

bump!The game character he controlled was shot in the head.

"Manager!" Wang Xiaocong jumped up angrily.

When the manager next to the bar heard Wang Xiaocong's voice, he immediately smiled apologetically.

"Young Master Wang, what are your orders?"

"Try the F key of this keyboard yourself." Wang Xiaocong crossed his arms and said unhappily.

The manager hurriedly pressed the F key, but there was no response, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Young Master Wang, I'm very sorry! This is our negligence, I'll replace you with another machine immediately, and today's consumption is considered a little compensation for the store, I'm very sorry."

Wang Xiaocong saw that the manager's attitude was okay, so he changed the machine.

"Haha! Xiao Cong, don't fall into a box later!" Qin An angry teased.

"Don't mention it, the keyboard was broken just now, and he was shot in the head, let's continue."

Wang Xiaocong and others continued to eat chicken.

And the manager hurriedly asked the computer maintenance staff to take the computer that Wang Xiaocong was playing with just now for repairs.

In the maintenance room, the manager became furious:

"What happened to your maintenance department? We are high-end Internet cafes, not black Internet cafes! If this kind of thing happens again, you all get out!"

After speaking, he walked away, leaving behind the depressed maintenance staff.

On the other side, misfortunes never come singly. Qin Nu had just finished teasing Wang Xiaocong, and within 3 minutes of playing, the entire screen suddenly froze.

"Fuck, Ah Ning, hurry up and pick up the box, why are you standing there?"

"Quick, quick!"

"My screen is stuck!"

"Dried shrimp?"

Qin Nu looked at the stuck screen in bewilderment, and waited for more than two minutes before the screen returned to normal, and his game characters had already received their lunch boxes.

"Damn, the boss is here, your keyboard is broken, hurry up and get another one."

"Damn it, I just recorded and haven't archived it yet, isn't this computer too rubbish?"

Obviously, there are not a few machines in Internet cafes that have problems.

The manager just came out, and when he heard the situation, he felt bad, and quickly asked three maintenance staff to come out to look at the computer.

"What a disappointment, Xiao Cong is gone!" Qin turned around and left unhappily.

Wang Xiaocong was also in no mood, after all, no one would be in the mood to continue playing.

The manager could only apologize again and again with a smile, but in his heart he wanted to cry without tears. It seemed that Wang Xiaocong and Qin Angry, the benefactors, would not come to their internet cafe again next time.

At the same time, this is happening all over the world.

Coca-Cola Company, a clerk who is typing is flying his fingers, and he is typing a financial report.

Suddenly the two buttons 1 and 6 failed. He pressed them five or six times, but there was still no response.

Quickly called the company's computer maintenance staff, the maintenance staff checked the 1 and 6 buttons, and found that there was no problem.

"George, there is no problem with the keyboard, look." After the maintenance worker finished speaking, he typed 1 and 6 in the input box several times in a row, and there was no problem.

"What's going on? I couldn't use it just now, hell!" George quickly sat in front of the computer and began to operate.

"Is there really no problem? Could it be that I'm too tired?" George looked at the series of 1 and 6, and suddenly thought wildly.

In fact this is just a microcosm.

All over the world, there have been sudden keyboard failures, screen freezes, and cameras that cannot be started.

At first, most people thought it was a computer or mobile phone failure, but as time went by, this kind of failure that came and went quickly made everyone feel unusual.

After all, it is very normal for a computer or mobile phone to malfunction occasionally, but it is unusual for a large area to appear.

In the past few days, the complaint departments of Microsoft, Gu Ge, and Sydney have been almost blown away.

Cook looked at the report brought by the complaint department, and suddenly frowned, and immediately asked the technical department to detect the cause.

More than three hours later, the head of the technical department hurried over.

"President! The big thing is not good. This time it was caused by someone deliberately spreading the virus."

Cook took the report and flipped through it. The special mutant virus of Eternal Blue can infect computers and mobile phones, and will activate attacks intermittently.

"Can it be cleared?"

The technical director shook his head and said:

"Mr. President, this virus is very weird. Its incubation period is difficult to eliminate. It can only be eliminated when it is activated. However, computers and mobile phones are very easy to be infected again."

"Does the patch work too?"

"Not yet, we are working on how to prevent reinfection."

"Come out a patch as soon as possible, otherwise we will be too passive." Cook ordered.

Soon, Sydney, Google, and Microsoft issued announcements saying that mobile phones and computer systems were infected by viruses, and they are now studying how to kill viruses and patch them.
