"You'd better give me an explanation, Mike, why the virus program appeared here. Don't forget what you promised me in the first place."
Washington State.
In the security building that monitors global information data, the top person in charge, Kaufman, mercilessly criticized Mike beside him. The two of them walked quickly towards the information strategy room while talking.
"Don't worry Kaufman, my plan is absolutely fine."
"It's just a small mistake at the moment. As long as the key is made public, the impact will naturally disappear."
Compared to Kaufman's nervousness, Mike looked obviously much more relaxed. He responded while not forgetting to appease the other person's emotions.
Because in order to retaliate against future technology, after many considerations, Mike chose to use virus programs to cause chaotic economic losses. Although it was not directly aimed at future technology, at least he would feel very happy when he saw this scene.
To this end, he specifically contacted Kaufman, the person in charge of the security building, and borrowed his top computer talents for help.
On the basis of the ransomware virus, it was upgraded and strengthened, and then spread.
Seeing that more than two million terminal devices were attacked in just two days, he felt a lot more relaxed, as if the frustration accumulated in his heart was instantly relieved.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
Just when he was waiting to see the impact further expand, he discovered that this Trojan horse program had also appeared in Liganifu.
And it spreads faster.
In just half a day since it was discovered, the number of terminal devices under attack has reached more than 800,000, and even some medium-sized companies engaged in Internet security have been unable to prevent it.
In this situation, there is a sense of déjà vu, like injuring the enemy eight hundred and losing two thousand.
When suddenly encountering such a rare event, naturally many people discussed this matter on social platforms such as Twitter and YouTube. In addition to blaming the security building for inadequate supervision, they were also thinking of various ways to recover the encrypted data.
data information.
Faced with this situation, how could Kaufman have a good face? At least in his opinion, this situation was the impact of Mike's plan.
To be honest, Mike did not expect that the virus program would appear here, after all, it was not in his plan.
However, he didn't take this accident seriously, because unlike the situation in Yan Country, he held the key to recover the data information, and as long as it was disclosed to the outside world, no loss would be caused.
Of course there is nothing to worry about.
that's all.
Soon when the two came to the information room, Kaufman was the first to ask: "How is the solution going? The impact of this virus program must be resolved as soon as possible."
"Report sir."
"We are currently analyzing and confirming this virus program."
"As long as its identity is confirmed to be correct, the patch key will be updated to restore data on the attacked device."
As one of the subordinates immediately spoke and reported the situation, before Kaufman could respond, Mike next to him interrupted with some confusion and shouted: "This is originally a virus program you upgraded, and it still needs analysis.
Confirm?"
"This is normal procedure."
"Okay, hurry up and work, I'll wait for the results here." Kaufman did not pay attention to Mike, but directly interrupted the subordinate's response.
After hearing this, the other party naturally did not dare to delay, and quickly turned back to face the computer screen to continue the work just now.
As time gradually passed, and just when Mike was getting impatient with waiting, a rapid and shocked shout suddenly sounded in the information room.
"This is not the virus we made."
He almost finished speaking.
Suddenly, shouts and curses came one after another.
"Shet!"
"My data is locked."
"Stop it quickly."
"The key doesn't work, it's too cunning."
Kaufman, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, waiting for the good news, immediately stood up after hearing these harsh sounds and asked the subordinate sternly: "What happened?"
"Sir, we have been attacked by a virus program, and the data information in most devices has been locked."
"This is not the virus program we created at all."
After Kaufman heard the news, his facial expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't believe that this would be the final result.
The department he is responsible for is definitely the most powerful entity in terms of Internet security. In the past, they were the only ones who monitored and attacked others. When have they ever been attacked by viruses?
But now because of an upgraded version of the ransomware virus, important data and information are locked, which is simply a shame.
After thinking about this clearly, Kaufman dared to delay, and quickly ordered: "Find a way to crack this virus program. All the locked data and information must be recovered, and all conceivable methods must be used."
"It's sir."
As a technician in the security building, the other party knew very well how important this data information was. If it could not be restored, it would cause heavy losses to the department.
So even if you know that this matter is very difficult, you still have to grit your teeth and do it.
It can only be said that they were a little careless this time, thinking that the virus program that appeared in Liganifu was the one they made, so they did not pay enough attention to it.
But I never thought that the core of the program was completely different.
And its capabilities in all aspects are even more powerful than what they made.
It is equivalent to an upgrade and strengthening of their virus program. It is very normal to be infected accidentally.
At this time, Kaufman's face gradually became gloomy. He turned to look at Mike, who was still full of surprise, and said very dissatisfiedly: "I think you should understand the consequences of this matter, Mike, because of your plan."
If such a big loss is caused, the higher authorities will certainly hold the person responsible."
It can be said that Kaufman is rather regretful right now.
If he had known that Mike's plan would bring such huge losses to him, he would never have agreed to it, but now it's too late to say anything.
As the person in charge of business, Mike also knows how much direct economic losses will be caused if the data information of these terminal devices under attack cannot be recovered.
I originally wanted to use this method to retaliate against Future Technology, but I didn't expect that my base camp would be taken away first.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that you reap the consequences.
More importantly, he couldn't figure out where a more powerful virus program came from.
Facts have proved that they still underestimated the power of the new virus program. With the efforts of many top Internet technical talents, the data information in the device was still locked two hours later.
There is absolutely no way to crack it.
But just as Mike's face became increasingly ugly, Brady suddenly walked in from outside, holding a Pingguo tablet device in his hand.
He walked quickly to Mike and quickly reported to him the latest situation from the outside world.
"Mr. Mike, according to the latest news we have received, Future Technology has launched a security protection software called Star Shield, which not only effectively prevents attacks from our virus programs, but also restores all locked data and information."
Star shield?
Data recovery?
Mike, who was already in a daze, suddenly heard Brady's words. He was startled for a moment. Then he came back to his senses and subconsciously questioned: "This is absolutely impossible. How could they recover without the key?"
Encrypted data information.”
But after saying that, he still took the tablet handed over by Brady and looked at the screen.
Because what was displayed on the screen was exactly the information about Star Shield and the excellent results it had achieved since going online, Mike couldn't tolerate disbelief in the face of the absolute facts.
The Star Shield was like the straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering Mike's psychological defense.
He muttered something repeatedly in his mouth.
"How could this be? What a future technology!"
Mainly without this Star Shield, even if a large number of their terminal equipment were attacked, at least both sides would suffer losses.
Now the other party has actually recovered all the encrypted data information, reducing the damage caused by the virus program to zero, which makes them seem a little stupid.
A typical example of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
This huge psychological blow is difficult to bear.
While Mike was still immersed in his own world, Kaufman next to him couldn't help but take the computer and check the information on it.
After discovering that all the losses caused by their virus programs had been resolved, they became even more furious. They never expected that Mike's plan would be so useless.
"Mike, you'd better give me an explanation?"
"I understand Kaufman, Future Technology must have re-encrypted our virus program, this must be what they did." Faced with Kaufman's doubts, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Mike's mind, and he suddenly realized
I figured out the question.
Since future technology can decipher the key and recover the locked data information, it can encrypt and upgrade the virus program and then find a way to send it to them.
Unfortunately, he ignored one issue.
They were the ones who created this program. Now that they know that the current situation is related to future technology, they can't do anything. They can only break their teeth and swallow it.
But Kaufman knows this very well.
Dang even said helplessly: "So what if we know it is related to future technology? Our top priority now is to seize the time to make up for the loss and find a way to recover the data information."
Upon hearing this question, Mike was speechless and couldn't think of a way to solve it.
On the other hand, Brady, who was next to him, thought for a while and proactively suggested: "In the future, if technology can decipher the key and recover the encrypted data information, then we should be able to do it too."
"Guge has just made a major breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence, which may be helpful in deciphering the key."
"That's all we can do now." Kaufman heard Brady's words and made his decision without much thinking.
Accurately go to high-end technology companies such as Gugwei Rupingguo to help decipher the key. After all, this is the only feasible way that can be thought of at the moment.
