Galaxy Technology Empire

Chapter 178 Eternal Blue

The patent war between Zhongxing Group and Google Micro Hardware is in full swing.

Generally, intellectual property lawsuits take more than three months at the fastest. Zhongxing Group has no intention of settling with Brother Gu and the others, so this lawsuit will be fought slowly.

Moreover, the Zhongxing Group is in an invincible position. Ye Donghe does not want to reveal the Chinese language as a trump card so quickly. He wants to play with Brother Gu and the others slowly.

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

It has been trending at the top of the search every few days, and the Internet is full of news about Galaxy Technology.

On the other hand, Google and Microsoft are not sitting still. After all, this is the home court of Galaxy Technology, and the official attitude is definitely in favor of Galaxy Technology.

So they prepared with both hands. While filing a lawsuit with Zhongxing Group, they also sent people to lobby the domestic mobile phone and computer manufacturers in Dongtang.

However, Guge Company encountered a disappointment with Huawei and the others, but Microsoft successfully appeased most of the computer manufacturers and kept them neutral.

Huang Junjie knew everything about their every move through Zhong's round-the-clock monitoring.

"Loyalty, bring out the eternal blue."

Eternal Blue refers to the release of a large number of network attack tools by the hacker group Shadow Brokers on the evening of April 14, 2017.

It includes the "Eternal Blue" tool. "Eternal Blue" exploits the SMB vulnerability of the Microsoft system to obtain the highest system privileges.

Criminals created a ransomware virus by modifying "Eternal Blue". Many university intranets, large corporate intranets and government agencies' private networks around the world were infected. They were extorted to pay a high ransom in order to decrypt and recover files.

Huang Junjie put on a brain-controlled sensor helmet.

Lines of code were generated on the screen in an instant. With Zhong's cooperation, he was improving the ransomware virus.

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

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

Even systems that have downloaded patches cannot escape the infection of this virus.

This virus will not completely lock the computer or mobile phone, but will cause three intermittent attacks.

The first is letter locking. The virus will randomly lock a few letters, making it impossible to enter these locked letters on your phone or computer.

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

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

"Zhong, spread this virus around the world, but avoid hospitals and banking systems, control the infection rate to 5%, and constantly change the infected targets." Huang Junjie ordered.

"OK."

Zhong used the backdoors left on terminals around the world and began to crazily infect mobile phones and computers.

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

Wang Xiaocong, Qin Ang and their group were playing chicken at a large Internet cafe in Shanghai at this moment.

"Quick, quick, be careful behind you."

"Throw the flash!"

"Fuck, I'm dead."

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 fire.

Huh? What the hell? Why is the other party still alive and kicking?

Aim again and press F key to shoot.

Wang Xiaocong looked at the sniper rifle but did not fire. He quickly pressed the F key, but there was still no reaction at all.

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

"Manager!" Wang Xiaocong jumped up angrily.

The manager next to the bar heard Wang Xiaocong's voice and quickly came over with an apologetic smile.

"Master Wang, what are your orders?"

"Try the F key on this keyboard yourself." Wang Xiaocong said unhappily, crossing his arms.

The manager quickly pressed the F key, but there was no response. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"Master Wang, I'm very sorry! This was our negligence. We will ask you to replace it with a new machine immediately. In addition, today's consumption will be regarded as a little compensation from the store. I am very sorry."

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

"Haha! Xiao Cong, don't drop it into a box later!" Qin Ang teased.

"Don't mention it. The keyboard just broke and I was shot in the head. Let's continue."

Wang Xiaocong and others continued to eat chicken.

The manager quickly asked the computer maintenance man to repair the machine that Wang Xiaocong was playing with just now.

When they came to 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 happens again, you all will get out!"

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

On the other side, misfortune never comes singly. Qin Ang had just finished teasing Wang Xiaocong, and within three minutes of playing, the entire screen suddenly froze.

"Damn it, Angry, go pick up the box, why are you standing there?"

"Quick, quick!"

"My screen is frozen!"

"Xiami?"

Qin Ang looked at the stuck screen in confusion. After waiting for more than two minutes, the screen returned to normal, and his game character had already received his lunch.

"Holy shit, boss, come here, your keyboard is broken, hurry up and get a replacement."

"Damn it, the record I just recorded has not been archived. This computer is too rubbish, isn't it?"

Apparently, many of the machines in the Internet cafe have problems.

The manager had just walked out. When he heard about this situation, he immediately felt something bad and quickly asked three maintenance workers to come out and check the computer.

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

Wang Xiaocong was no longer in the mood. After all, no one else would be in the mood to continue playing.

The manager could only smile and apologize again and again, but in his heart he felt like crying. It seemed that the sponsors, Wang Xiaocong and Qin Ang, 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 typing clerk's fingers were flying as he typed a financial report.

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

I quickly called the company's computer maintenance man, who checked buttons 1 and 6 and found that there was no problem.

"George, there's nothing wrong with the keyboard, you see." After the maintenance man finished speaking, he typed 1 and 6 several times in the input box, but no problem occurred.

"What's going on? I couldn't use it just now, damn it!" George quickly sat in front of the computer and started operating it.

"Is there really no problem? Is it because I'm too tired?" George looked at a series of 1s and 6s and suddenly started thinking wildly.

In fact this is just a microcosm.

All over the world, keyboards suddenly fail or screens freeze, and cameras fail to start.

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 normal for a computer or mobile phone to malfunction occasionally, but it is unusual for it to occur on a large scale.

In the past few days, the phone numbers of the complaint departments of Microsoft, Google, and Sydney have been almost overwhelming.

Cook frowned when he looked at the report brought by the complaints department, and immediately asked the technical department to detect the cause.

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

"President! Something bad has happened. This time it was caused by someone deliberately spreading the virus."

Cook took the report and started reading it. The special variant of Eternal Blue virus 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 strange. It is difficult to eliminate during its incubation period and can only be eliminated when it is activated. However, computers and mobile phones are very easy to be infected again."

"Can't patch work either?"

"Not yet, we are looking at 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 the virus, and they were currently studying how to eliminate the virus and patch it.
