My science and technology museum

It has been more than three months since the domestic top-level photolithography machine was developed, and the impact on the entire semiconductor industry has basically stabilized. Related content that was originally available everywhere on the Internet has once again been replaced by less nutritious topics.

But beneath the seemingly calm surface, a new storm is actually brewing.

Wednesday, June 10th.

Qiao Mu, who had just finished dinner, was sitting in front of the computer and moving the mouse skillfully. He looked in better shape than when he just graduated.

Especially the fair skin, which is an innate advantage, is even more eye-catching.

Ever since he first listened to Xu Lei's live broadcast of Huanxing Studio's Godless World game, 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 many businesses have also approached him for cooperation.

So Qiao Mu quit her original job and became a full-time anchor, and her career began to rise.

And in order to further enhance his influence, he occasionally shoots beauty tutorial videos and publishes them on major video platforms, with views basically exceeding one million.

It perfectly proves the old saying.

God will reward you with food.

The reason why there is no live broadcast tonight is precisely because he needs to edit the filmed materials so that he can complete weekly updates on time.

"It seems that I only have enough material to last two weeks. It seems that I will shoot more next time."

At this time, Qiao Mu was staring at the computer screen, murmuring thoughtfully as he moved the mouse to click on the hard drive to view the stored video materials, and considered whether to take a few more videos while he had time.

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

Otherwise, you will always feel inexplicably tired if you have your hair taken and hair cut right now.

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

It took about two or three seconds for him to react, and he uttered a curse word on the spot.

"Fuck!"

"What happened to my video?"

Because under his gaze, the several videos he had saved on the screen had all been encrypted, and no matter how he operated, he could not open them.

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

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

But the strange thing is that no matter how he clicks, the blackmail page mentioned in the news does not appear. It seems that it is maliciously encrypted deliberately to get his files, not to make money.

You must know that this situation is no different from information loss. It is simply as disgusting as possible.

Key deleted data can be recovered, but this one can only be looked at with a blank stare.

"My computer has never browsed a paid website, so how could I be tricked out of nowhere? Could it be from the fan base?

Qiao Mu recalled in his mind what he had done with the computer in the past few days. It seemed that apart from playing games and live broadcasting, there were no dangerous operations. At most, he saved some emoticons in his fan group.

But it was useless to say anything now. As a top student in a related major, he knew very well that there was no way to crack the encryption without the key, which meant that all the video material he had worked hard to shoot for more than ten hours was scrapped.

But thinking that the weekly fixed video could not be updated, I couldn't help but frown.

After all, whether he started a live broadcast or posted a video, he had never delayed an update. How could this kind of thing affect his commitment?

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

When his thoughts came to this point, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. His eyes gradually brightened and he whispered softly: "This is a good explanation. Anyway, as long as the video is posted, it will not be considered a delay."

The words just fell.

He quickly got up and went 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 after completing simple post-production, he decisively posted it on his account.

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

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

Initially, everyone thought that this video was still a beauty tutorial like before, but as the video played, they realized what was going on. At the same time, many people used swear words in the barrage.

The main thing is that they discovered that everyone had the same experience.

Although most of the videos Qiao Mu posts are beauty tutorials, I don’t know if it’s because of the boys. The backend of the account shows that the proportion of male fans is as high as 70%, so the comments and comment areas of the videos often reveal this. A rather weird atmosphere.

And the atmosphere in the comment area of ​​this video is even more bizarre.

"Damn it, I've been tricked too. The hundreds of masterpieces I've downloaded so hard were locked before I could watch them. I thought it was caused by the anti-virus software!"

"I haven't watched it yet. It's possible that you've watched hundreds of episodes of Pleasant Goat. Just thinking about it will make you feel better."

"Who the hell created this thing? It doesn't affect the computer at all. It just encrypts your stored information."

"It's just bad and bad."

"I'm sorry, I'm not the only one. I thought I got the virus because I clicked on a paid website, but it turns out so many people have been infected."

"I even got tricked into my cell phone, I'm so perverted."

"Your situation is not bad. Our company was completely destroyed this afternoon. If the encrypted information cannot be recovered, we don't know how much money we will lose. The key is now that we can't find a way to buy the keys."

"During the day, I saw that my roommate had been tricked, so I installed a security guard and a computer manager on my computer. I didn't expect whether the data would be locked or not."

…

Qiao Mu's original intention of posting this video was to make a fool of himself, but after seeing many people talking about his experience in the comment area, he realized that things might not be that simple.

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

Especially small and medium-sized 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, the relevant news topped the list of hot searches on major websites.

Especially this is related to whether the locked data on your computer can be recovered. Even if it is late at night, a large number of netizens are still discussing it.

besides.

Singularity Company, which developed Security Guard, Penguin's Computer Manager, and Aridam Academy have issued statements saying that they are taking the time to add patches to ensure that users' devices will no longer be invaded by this program.

——

"How is the situation? Can it be solved?"

Imperial capital.

Singularity Building.

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

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 fix this vulnerability as soon as possible to prevent more devices from being attacked.

As the head of the technical department, Duan Wusheng honestly does not want this to happen. After all, every time this happens, the entire technical department has to stay up all night.

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

At this time, he did not hesitate when facing Zhou Jinghe's inquiry, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, this virus program is more powerful than similar programs we have encountered before. The other party does not seem to ask for money for users to buy keys. His actions were simply to attack the data stored in computers and mobile phones."

"We are currently taking the time to study adding patches to the security guards, hoping to prevent the intrusion of this virus program, but the locked files may not be recoverable without the key."

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

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

The sudden appearance of the Trojan horse program this time is an opportunity for them. If the security guards of their company can effectively prevent the intrusion of this Trojan horse, the number of users will inevitably increase explosively.

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

Even if your own security guards can prevent the device from being attacked, the user data that was previously attacked still cannot be recovered. The economic losses caused by this alone are inestimable.

When his thoughts came to this point, Zhou Jinghe first sighed, and then said with a hint of helplessness: "Work hard tonight, and seize the time to fix the loopholes. At the moment, we can only hope that the spread of this Trojan program can be slower. ."

"I understand Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jinghe knew very well that looking at the entire country, they could be said to be the strongest in the field of Internet security. Since even they couldn't recover encrypted files, the rest of the Penguin Damo Academy basically couldn't do it either.

The next day.

Since Singularity, Penguin and Damo Academy have not solved the vulnerability problem, the number of devices under attack is still rising.

All major platforms and websites on the entire network are basically occupied 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. Almost all those affected are asking for ways to recover files.

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

Because perhaps every employee in the company has a terminal program that uses Star Pupil’s ability installed on his or her computer and mobile phone, it is not affected in any way. Even if he accidentally clicks on a link or file carrying this Trojan horse program, he will be instantly affected by Star Pupil. Automatically detect and intercept and destroy.
