The computer virus incident, because the Marching Ant Company came forward, and the anti-virus software has been released, it has subsided now.Those who got the virus were ordinary computer users, all the software was deleted, but the data on the hard disk was not damaged, so the loss was not big.

It's just that they don't know that another bigger virus crisis is brewing.

Chapter 169 Kidnapping a City

Wang Zhi was reading a book, which was a Chinese character programming language tutorial released by Marching Army Ant Company.The last time a hacker broke into their system and took away the virus software, they never heard from them.

The Internet is a very complicated world. The other party uses IPs from all over the world to invade their computers. It is even more difficult to find out who did it.

In several global virus crises, the senior hackers who planned were not found. They are a small police station, and trying to find them is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.Even if they knew the person, they would not be able to act, at most they would hand it over to the Interpol to handle the matter.

Fortunately, the loss was not big last time, so it was just an announcement, and they wrote a review report, and this matter was overturned.

After this incident, he paid more attention to the learning of Chinese programming language.

A senior hacker on the other side tried every means to invade their computer just for the virus program, it must not be that simple.

"Wang Zhi, take a look at this news." A female colleague next to him said, "There is a hacker organization calling itself 'clown', which issued a warning on Twitter abroad that this Friday, there will be an unprecedented global attack. Let the whole world remember this Black Friday in the online world. Their logo avatar is the mask that hacked our computer last time."

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was shocked, and immediately stretched his head to look at her computer screen.

Sure enough, I saw a piece of news with a video on it.His English is not bad, and he can understand all the text on Twitter.

"What do they want to do?"

Wang Zhi frowned, and looked at the video carefully with his head stretched out. He didn't realize that the female colleague next to him was blushing slightly, and looked at him with a little shyness.

"I don't know either. They won't release the virus file they took from us, right? The virus's contagiousness is terrifying."

"Impossible, that virus, we have already released the anti-virus program, they released the anti-virus software immediately, they are doing useless work. Hackers are one of the smartest groups in the world. For such a simple thing, they Impossible not to have thought of."

"Wang Zhi, are you free tonight?"

"Forehead???"

The warning issued by the 'Clown Organization' has attracted a lot of media attention and reports.

This hacker organization that popped up out of nowhere had never heard of this name before.Now dare to blatantly warn the world, many people just take it as a joke.

After all, cyber terrorist attacks on a global scale have never happened before.No hacker organization has ever dared to issue such a warning.

Time is slowly passing, and the clown organization releases news every day, as if it is counting down.At first, some people paid attention to it, but later it was ignored as a prank.

Friday in the west arrives smoothly.

On Twitter, the clown organization updated Twitter again.

"My heart is like this face, half pure white, half shadow, I can choose to let you see it, or I can insist on not letting you see it. This circus show is about to open, first of all, I pay tribute to Master Chaplin."

Chaplin's semi-famous quote baffled the media concerned about the news.

London, England.

University of London, here is a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

Alice is sorting out research papers in the dormitory.She is conducting an economic study on the future Internet economy.As a doctoral student in the School of Business, this thesis will become her doctoral dissertation.

In the country of the UK, it is difficult to study the Internet economy. She thinks it is necessary to go to China next.China's Internet economy is already a well-deserved leader in the world.

Just after saving the data, suddenly, she felt the computer screen flicker.

A mask appeared on her computer screen.

Half pure white, half shadow, scarlet pupils, looking particularly weird behind the mask.The evil smile was printed on the mask, more like a mockery of the world.

After seeing the picture, Alice's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly clicked a few times with the mouse, but there was no response.

"What's going on?" Alice got anxious and tried to restart. The displayed screen was still the face of a clown mask.

The computers on the entire campus instantly turned into a half black and half white mask.

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, many police officers stared at the computer screen that turned into a clown picture, falling into an eerie silence.

This scene appeared in every corner of banks, hospitals, stock exchange markets, subways, supermarkets, companies, etc.In just one hour, half of London, all service places were occupied by this black and white mask.

For a while, half of London was paralyzed.

The news spread quickly, and the whole world was in an uproar.

In less than an hour, the virus infected half of the city of London. As for how many computers, no one went to count.The statistics are meaningless, and the economic loss is what everyone pays attention to.

Panic began to spread.

Unprecedented in the history of computer development, there has never been such a large-scale virus attack that paralyzed almost the entire city.

"London Has Fallen!" - The Times

"The era of cyber terror is coming! - Wall Street Journal

"The Nasty Clown! "——Europe Daily

"The Internet Doesn't Exist at All—Warning from Army Ants" - Global Times

……

London's network was infected for an hour, and various explosive news appeared. 'Clown organization' once again entered people's field of vision.

I thought it was just a prank, but unexpectedly, an unprecedented cyber terrorist attack really came.The first location chosen by the hackers was London, England.At this moment, everyone knew the intention of paying tribute to Chaplin, this is Chaplin's hometown.

London fell, causing global panic.The stock market also fluctuated.A financial center, so easily hacked.

The previous attack by Eternal Blue and Eternal Heart is nothing compared to this 'clown crisis'.

Not long after the Internet in London was paralyzed, the British Prime Minister at No. 10 Downing Street made a televised speech, calling on domestic Internet experts to go to the University of London to jointly deal with the Internet crisis.

Other countries have issued emergency orders to strengthen network protection.

This is a huge lesson, London is shut down for an hour, no one knows how much the economy will lose.In this information-based world, it is the first time that a financial center city has shut down. The securities and financial markets have announced that they will stop trading, and the specific reply date is unknown.

For an hour, the whole world was shocked by this cyber terrorist attack.

In the second hour after the news came out, the clown organization tweeted again: "We initiated the London incident and we will take full responsibility. We have successfully kidnapped the city and demanded a ransom of 1 million pounds within three days. , settled in Bitcoin.”

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

Affected, the price of Bitcoin soared all the way, doubling in just one hour.

A cyber hacker organization has blatantly threatened a country. This has never happened in the past. This is the first time that a hacker organization has threatened a country.

Chapter 170 News

Army Ant Company.

Zhao Min sat opposite Chen Mo.

"There is good news." Zhao Min said.

"What good news?"

"The Chinese character programming language environment project we applied for has been approved and entered into the National Torch Project. The Education Professional Committee has approved the launch of Chinese character programming language project training pilot work in major primary and secondary schools in Binhai City."

"So fast?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.

"Nonsense, the virus incident in Jiangnan City has made people notice the peculiarity of the Chinese programming language. It is impossible for them not to care about such things that are conducive to development." Zhao Min said.

Chen Mo nodded. The virus incident in Jiangnan City and the "clown virus crisis" in London may make people see the true value of the Chinese programming language, which is why it was approved so quickly.With national promotion, he is not worried that no one will learn the Chinese programming language.

"London fell down this time, what do you think will happen next?" Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo.

"Ghost knows what will happen? Maybe the British will compromise. If this continues, Britain will suffer heavy losses." Chen Mo spread his hands: "However, this matter has something to do with us."

"It has something to do with us? Don't scare me." Zhao Min's face became more cautious.

"Remember the virus incident in Jiangnan City? After the virus incident, the Jiangnan Municipal Bureau was hacked and the virus code was taken away. This virus was able to paralyze London in just one hour, thanks to that code. This virus, It is written in Chinese programming language."

Hearing this, Zhao Min heaved a sigh of relief. This incident has nothing to do with them directly, so it's fine.

"It wasn't that serious last time, right?" Zhao Min asked.

"It must have been modified and optimized by someone?"

Chen Mo shrugged, unable to explain, he couldn't say that he let Mo Nu interfere.

That program is a bit special, similar to a ghost virus, which cannot be detected by the firewall.Virus programs written in Chinese programming language are different from previous viruses, so it is difficult for general antivirus software to find and kill them.

The last virus was a semi-intelligent virus, and the existing computer system had no power to resist being invaded.

However, you can also search and kill if you want to. The software written by Lin Shu only needs to improve its functions to detect the existence of semi-intelligent viruses.

"Now I can write software to kill the 'clown virus', do you think there is room for maneuver here?" Chen Mo said.

Zhao Min thought for a while, then shook his head: "There is no need to search and kill, anyway, it is not our house that is on fire. Just take this opportunity to enter the enterprise office market. With the selling point of safety, enterprises will be willing to buy it for data security."

Chen Mo did not object to Zhao Min's idea.

Publishing antivirus software, they can get some benefits, but the benefits are too small.Compared with the field of corporate office, the profits brought by anti-virus software are insignificant.

The outbreak of the clown virus did not touch their interests, but also brought them benefits, so there is no need to kill the virus.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is logical for Marching Army Ant Company to enter the corporate office field.

For them, the more chaotic the market, the greater their opportunity.

In this incident, the network security of the old era was trampled to pieces.There is a huge gap in the computer office market before regaining stability.

Usually there are no big storms, and it is even more difficult for their computer operating systems to enter the market.The clown virus, prying the foundation of computer network security, is a god-sent opportunity.

The Internet virus incident is more like a war between the prosperity and decline of a dynasty. As long as the strategy is appropriate, the new ruler can use it to rise to power.

They have been coveting the cash cow of the corporate office for a long time, but they can't find a chance to buy it.

Their computer operating system has been out for a while, and it has not been announced to the public. They are opening up channels for the army ants app store and PC ecology.

"The application channel has been opened, the office ecology has been initially improved, and the addition of smart assistants has made the office faster. In this field, we have not yet entered, but the potential is large enough. But before entering the market, we can announce another news. "

"What news?" Chen Mo asked.

"Didn't you always want to promote the Chinese programming language? This is a good opportunity, free advertising around the world. Announce to the outside world that the 'clown virus' is written in the Chinese programming language." Follow the trend to announce the existence of the computer system."

"Yes." Chen Mo agreed without hesitation.

After Zhao Min left, Chen Mo continued to organize the supercomputer technology.

A few days ago, I played with Xiaoyu in Jiangnan City for a while and relaxed for a while. Now it's time to get back to work.

The production of room temperature superconducting materials has been handed over to robots, and it can be produced in small batches at present, satisfying his research is not a problem.

What he wants to do is a superconducting computer. With a superconducting computer, Mo Nu will run faster.

The amount of calculations performed by supercomputers is greater than that calculated by human beings in a century.Once completed, it will become Mo Nu's real brain, which will also help him study advanced artificial intelligence and other research in the future.

The emergence of the clown virus caused panic in the Internet market.

London's 'clown virus' has shattered Internet security.Today's network has no security at all.

The intelligence agencies of the entire UK have been dispatched, and the hacker's address has not been found yet, and there is no way to remove the virus.

In the existing anti-virus software, the signature code of the Chinese programming language virus is not in the virus database, and the anti-virus software cannot recognize and kill the virus. In addition, no one is proficient in the Chinese programming language, so the global software is helpless. .

Foreign media are all paying attention to the Twitter of the 'Clown Organization'.

This is the largest virus attack in the history of computer development.Kidnapping a city has become a reality today with the rapid development of information.

No one knows which city will be attacked next.

In the Global News office, Li Tiejun always felt that he had overlooked something. This matter was about the 'clown virus', but he couldn't figure it out.

"Iron Army, Marching Army Ants officially announced that the 'clown virus' was written in Chinese programming language. If you want to find a way to kill it, you can start with Chinese programming language."

In the office of Globe, a female colleague walked up to Li Tiejun with a notebook and put the computer in front of him.

"By the way, it's here." Li Tiejun was awakened by the words.

"What's the matter?" The female colleague next to her looked confused.

"Don't you think this 'clown virus' is a bit similar to the virus in Jiangnan City last time? Remember the computer virus incident in Jiangnan City? After the virus incident, the clown hacked into the network of the Jiangnan Municipal Bureau."

"You mean, the virus used by the clown this time is the one from Jiangnan City?"

"Yes, after the last incident in Jiangnan City, Marching Army Ant Company said that network security no longer exists. Now they say that the virus was written in a Chinese programming language. This computer language was created by them. They must know that the clown virus owns Jiangnan City. Genes for that viral code."
