There is actually only a piece of paper separating black and white.
In the global anti-virus software industry, there are many anti-virus software companies. Their predecessors were actually illegitimate organizations that profited from hackers.
However, with the improvement of laws and regulations in various countries, many such illegal organizations have begun to fade away.
Some of them have cooperated with capital to become anti-virus software companies, and some have directly sold corresponding technologies to anti-virus software companies, or the relevant technical personnel directly hope to work for free anti-virus software companies.
Therefore, these anti-virus software make it too easy for technicians to create or spread some kind of computer virus.
In the process of 306's large-scale occupation of the domestic market, Germany's Avira (Little Red Umbrella) Company and the United States' Norton Coffee suffered the greatest losses.
Among them, Xiaohongsan's anti-virus software engine has been widely used in the Xiaguo market, including Jingshan Ruixing and other domestic security companies, which more or less use Xiaohongsan's anti-virus engine.
As the world's largest anti-virus software company, Norton itself also has business in Xia Guo.
High-end computers from various brands including Lianxiang, Dell, HP, etc. all come with Norton anti-virus software pre-installed.
Now that 306 has become popular, everyone will have no money to make.
The first to make an effort was Norton. Norton conducted a detailed study of the deeply optimized Windows 98 system and found the weak points of the system.
For this purpose, a Trojan horse was prepared to attack the deep optimization system in the name of a third-party hacker organization.
Several popular Trojans during this period, such as Needham, Code Red, etc., are no longer traditional computer viruses, but have evolved into hybrid viruses with dissemination pathways.
This type of virus is difficult to detect and can easily cause irreparable losses to users.
In order to test the anti-virus capabilities of 306, Norton engineers improved this type of hybrid virus on the basis of Needham and Code Red, allowing it to specifically attack pirated systems like Deep Optimization - after all, Deep Optimization currently uses
306 anti-virus software has the largest user base.
Foreign anti-virus software companies attack their opponents with viruses and then demonstrate their anti-virus capabilities to gain market share. This tactic has been used not once or twice.
And it works every time.
Sometimes for common computer viruses on the market, you really can't tell whether they were released by an anti-virus software company or by an international hacker organization.
After all, if there are no mice in the house, keeping cats will be completely useless.
If there were no computer viruses, why would users still buy anti-virus software?
In the name of a third-party organization, Norton created this Trojan horse virus named Perses, and secretly informed the characteristics of the virus to network security companies such as Mai Coffee and Xiaohong Umbrella.
Of course, Norton will definitely not tell the other party in a big way: I created this virus. Now I will tell you the characteristics of the virus. You should pay attention to upgrading the software and virus database and pay attention to protection.
This is what Norton told international anti-virus software manufacturers: We have captured a new type of virus on the Internet. It is very disguised and can cause irreversible and complete damage to users' files, pictures, etc. Now I will capture this virus.
The characteristics tell you that you should pay attention to protection.
In fact, whether it is Mai Coffee, Little Red Umbrella, or Kaspersky and other internationally renowned anti-virus software manufacturers, they all know that Norton's behavior is to let 306 gain a lot of experience.
These anti-virus software companies have been engaged in computer security for more than 10 or 20 years. They know what their strength is, and they also know very well that Xia Guo Anti-Virus Software Company is actually a good company but a failure.
Because so far, no Xia Guo anti-virus software company has developed an anti-virus software engine or created its own virus database by relying on its own capabilities.
Norton absolutely does not believe that a newly born Xia Guo anti-virus software company, a free anti-virus software company, and an anti-virus software company that has never purchased foreign anti-virus software engines and virus databases, can really protect users' computers.
Under Norton's leadership, Purses soon began to spread on the Xia Kingdom's Internet.
The target of the Perses attack is very clear, that is, a deeply optimized Windows system.
Jingshan, Ruixing, Jiang Min, etc. were more or less aware of the relevant news, but they did not express their opinions or inform them.
According to the newly promulgated laws and emergency mechanisms related to computer network security in Xia State, if a domestic security company discovers the latest computer virus, it must immediately report it to the National Computer and Information Security Center.
But this time, Jingshan, Ruixing and Jiangmin all knew that the Trojan horse named Belseth was to deal with 306.
So everyone chose to remain silent and secretly updated their anti-virus software according to the virus characteristics and security protection methods provided by foreign anti-virus software companies, but did not inform the Xia Guo Computer and Security Center about Perseus.
Soon, Perses began to become popular on the Internet.
At the beginning, those users who did not install anti-virus software were the first to be affected.
Perses is a very vicious Trojan horse virus that can use system resources to multiply and quickly infect the entire computer.
It can completely destroy the user's documents and image files, and make the user's application data missing and errors occur.
More and more users are infected with the virus, and there are complaints.
It is true that viruses can be eradicated more effectively after reinstalling the system, but some of the valuable documents and photos that users have left on their computers will be gone.
The Internet era has just arrived, and many qualified users use digital cameras to take photos and habitually store the photos in their computers.
This time, many precious photos were lost at once, and users complained.
After the first stage of the attack, Western anti-virus software companies were a little confused.
Because after this wave of attacks, the damage to the entire Xia State computer and Internet market was actually very small.
Most of the affected users are those who do not have anti-virus software installed.
Antivirus software such as Norton, Jingshan, and Rising are able to protect you because they have obtained virus signatures in advance, so they are foolproof.
However, 306 did not obtain the virus characteristics of Purses at all, although it was able to defend against such a stubborn virus.
This is an insulting incident for Norton, who is absolutely confident in his technology!
The third-party organization entrusted by Norton upgraded Purses and launched the second round of attacks.
This time Norton didn't tell any antivirus software vendors.
Mid-August was definitely the darkest day in the history of global computers and the Internet.
An international email company that stores a large amount of user data had its server attacked by Perses, causing a large number of emails stored by users to be damaged and leaked.
There are also some business documents and users' private issues.
Immediately afterwards, through the chat software mailbox and the hacked portal website, the 2.0 version of Perses frantically attacked the computers of ordinary users.
This time it’s not as easy as the first wave.
Many users who have installed anti-virus software such as Jingshan, Rising, and Jiangmin have not survived this wave of attacks.
Users have been infected one after another, and their files, photos and other information on their computers have been wiped out.
Damage, damage, leakage.
Users who installed foreign anti-virus software were not spared either.
Among them, users who have installed anti-virus software such as MaiCoffee and Kaspersky are basically relatively mature business users.
Most of the information in their computers are business documents, contracts, etc.
After being attacked this time, the losses were quite heavy.
Now the whole Internet is buzzing with excitement.
The Trojan horse virus Perses immediately became the main topic of discussion in the Internet industry.
The National Computer Security Center has urgently intervened, immediately obtained samples of the virus, and analyzed them to consider countermeasures.
In major computer markets, everyone is complaining.
"The Perses virus is really scary! Not only ordinary users are infected, but also international high-end users!"
“Have you heard that all the computers of KPMG’s headquarters in Yanjing were compromised, and all accounting information and clients’ business information were destroyed? I heard that the loss was as high as tens of millions of RMB!”
"No way, KPMG has also been tricked? I just watched the news some time ago, saying that in order to protect customers' information, KPMG signed a commercial contract with Mai Coffee. The network security software they use should be specially developed by Mai Coffee.
of."
"It's not just KPMG! Miracle seems to have also been tricked. Many users' game accounts have been stolen. Not only have they been stolen, but their game data has been completely deleted!"
"My friend finally practiced to the full level. Yesterday he logged into the game and saw that it was ready. He was asked to create a new character! He spent a lot of money to play this game!"
"I was shaking so hard that I quickly unplugged the network cable and started playing stand-alone games!"
Computer viruses do not have consciousness or thinking, but they have powerful infectious capabilities.
Not only was Xia Kingdom infected, the Perses virus was also brought out by merchants traveling between Xia Kingdom and all over the world.
Via international mail or a USB flash drive, Perseus became a global popular computer virus in an instant.
Moreover, with the help of international hackers, Perseus has undergone many mutations.
Norton expected that users who installed other anti-virus software would be infected, but users who installed Norton anti-virus software were also affected.
This frightened the technical staff at Norton's global headquarters.
They responded quickly and immediately upgraded their anti-virus software engines and virus databases according to the indicators and characteristics of Burseth.
But after working for a while, everyone suddenly discovered that Norton Antivirus was ineffective against the mutant Perseus!
