Most high-tech enterprises are concentrated here, and many world-renowned universities are also located here.
Talents and students from all over the world are attracted to Silicon Valley.
A century ago, this area was still a collection of orchards and vineyards.
But people at that time had not thought that this place had become a prosperous town.
Hampus, as the general manager of Visa, drove to the company to work as usual today.
Visa is not a technology company, but a financial company.
Since the rise of Silicon Valley, many financial companies have set up branches here and even moved their headquarters here.
Because there are many high-tech enterprises and talents here, it means that there are many financing and investment projects that can be done.
What if some executives of large companies leave their jobs and want to start a business, but lack funds?
That's when financial companies like them come into play.
After all, capital will not let go of any potential investment. As long as it can obtain benefits, even a hair can be invested.
"Good morning, Hampus!"
"Good morning, Jenna, you look as charming as Venus today."
"Oh, thank you for the compliment."
After greeting his colleagues a few times, Hampus came to his post, put his briefcase on the table, took his mug to the coffee machine and brewed a cup of delicious coffee.
"Today is another beautiful day~"
Hampus looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance through the window and then returned to his computer desk to start today's work.
After turning on the computer, Hampus checked his work mailbox and received hundreds of emails, which he was ready to handle.
But you have to browse them one by one before you can reply. These emails are basically from people who have business dealings with our company.
Basically includes financing consultation, financial products, loans and other basic financial services.
These are the basic businesses of financial companies. As long as money is used, financial companies are basically inseparable.
At least that's the case in this country.
Hampus opened an email calmly, and then a cute cartoon image of a little black cat suddenly appeared on the computer interface, wagging its tail from time to time.
He thought it was a joke played on him by a customer or colleague.
But the next moment, the computer screen suddenly went black and shut down directly.
"Shit!"
What's going on with this computer? It shut down all of a sudden?
"It seems that I have to suggest that the boss needs to replace a batch of new computers."
Hampus complained a little.
After all, the work computer in front of him was from four years ago and has not been replaced much in recent years. It is normal for some lags or crashes to occur from time to time.
So he always has a spare laptop for work, which is a fruit computer he just bought last year.
The system of Fruit Computer is closed and has relatively high security. Many business people will choose Fruit Computer.
Hampus tried to turn on the phone, but there was no response like an owl during the day.
"This damn computer! Forget it, luckily I brought my laptop here."
Hampus cursed and took out the thin fruit laptop from the black briefcase.
Plug in the power, press the power button, and officially enter the computer interface in less than a minute.
After connecting to the Internet, Hampus continued to check his mailbox.
But after opening an email, the cute little black cat suddenly appeared again, and the next moment the Fruit Notebook screen unexpectedly went black.
"Fuck! What's going on? Has the computer quality control of fruits declined in the past two years?"
Now the computer is shut down directly, and there is no response after pressing the power button several times.
Just when he was about to call employees from the company's technical department to come over and see what was going on with this crappy computer, his subordinate hurried into the office and said out of breath: "Boss, something bad is going to happen!" "What's wrong? You need to take a breath first. Now you are no different from a person suffering from asthma."
The subordinate heard this, took a deep breath, and then explained: "Boss, our company's computers are infected with viruses! All computers are infected with viruses!"
"What did you say?! What do those technicians do for a living?"
Hampus stood up with a whoosh.
"No, boss, we have tried a variety of anti-virus software, but there is still no way to restore it to normal."
The response from her subordinate immediately made her anxious. If the computer virus problem is not solved, once the customer information and business confidential information involved are plagiarized and leaked by the virus, it will be a huge property loss for the company.
Ah!
He could even imagine the scene of the big boss standing in front of him and roaring.
"Then why not hire a professional anti-virus company team and let them do it as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate quickly contacted the anti-virus company.
Hampus also walked out of the office. Now all the company's employees have stopped working because their computers have crashed. How can they continue to work?
At this time, the big boss called. Hampus panicked, but he still answered the phone.
"Hampus, I think you should be handling the matter of the computer virus in the company!"
"Yes boss, I have contacted a professional anti-virus company and they will come as soon as possible to help us with the anti-virus."
"Okay, no matter what the cost, we must restore our data to its original state, otherwise you will know the consequences if it is leaked."
"Yes!"
After Hampus hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to call the anti-virus company.
After all, the computer virus must be resolved as quickly as possible, otherwise the data inside will be lost even more, and he cannot afford such a big responsibility.
On this day, not only Hamps' company, but also many companies in Silicon Valley and even the Lighthouse Country staged similar scenes.
The white-collar workers were working normally, but the computer suddenly shut down like a convulsion, and then a little black cat appeared on the computer screen, with its tail swishing and its disdainful eyes seeming to laugh at these incompetent people.
.
Although they all felt mentally "insulted", everyone also realized that it was a virus in the computer.
As a result, executives from various companies panicked and urgently asked technicians to perform anti-virus operations, but to no avail.
The anti-virus teams hired by some companies are also at a loss as they are helpless like little black cats.
For example, the current Wei Ruan Company
As soon as the virus appeared on the company's computers, technical engineers began to carry out anti-virus procedures for the virus of unknown origin.
"How's it going? Have you gotten rid of this kitten?"
Gaiji asked quickly.
"Sorry boss, we have imported most of the anti-virus programs in the world, as well as our company's unique security program, but we can't kill this computer virus. Moreover, this virus has strong infection capabilities and can be transmitted through emails, pop-up ads, text
Participate in dissemination through other methods,
At the same time, the virus program can also indiscriminately copy data and destroy files, and steal hard disk data..."
After hearing this, Gaici felt his head growl.
"When will this damn virus be solved?"
"I think it will take at least a week, sir." The person in charge of network security was unsure.
Because this computer virus is very different from the viruses he has seen before and is very destructive.
"A week? By then, all the secrets of our company have been destroyed by this little black cat. Three days! I only give you three days!"
When the person in charge saw that the boss had spoken, he bit the bullet and agreed.
But the black cat virus is more difficult to deal with than they imagined.
Three days later, in addition to enterprises, banking institutions were also invaded by black cats, and tens of thousands of computers were immediately paralyzed.
Countless gamers were playing games heartily when their computers suddenly shut down and they all vomited fragrance.
"Fake! What the hell is this?"
"I almost won!"
"What did the game official do? Is there a bug in the server?"
........
A week later, such a scene also happened in countries other than the Lighthouse Country.
Island country, Bangzi, Europa, Dragon Country...all countries with relatively developed Internet have been visited by this little black cat.
In many companies, thousands of devices automatically shut down due to black cat intrusions and cannot be restarted.
In addition, the user data of many commercial banks was destroyed, and bank staff were confused.
This means that many banks have been shut down, and many units and individuals have suffered huge losses because they were unable to complete inter-bank transfers and loans.
The National Cyber Security Centers of many countries have also issued urgent warnings, asking people not to click on unfamiliar files and to disconnect from the Internet to protect their computers and mobile phones.
The national technology department also launched an emergency plan and convened an expert meeting to jointly develop an anti-virus program that can kill black cats.
According to incomplete statistics, this "black cat virus" has infected nearly one million computers in the country within a week, and the offices of many companies have also been affected.
I had to initiate an emergency disconnection, hoping to recover some losses.
But fortunately, the networks of many countries' military industry and scientific research departments adopt special defense mechanisms, so this black cat can only linger outside the big wall, otherwise a world war will begin. p>
But finance is the hardest hit area where black cats are rampant.
Viruses spread on the network through servers and other methods. As long as the server is infected, the entire network connected to the service area will also suffer.
However, there is no impact on mobile phone users, because the main targets of this virus are computers and servers.
Mobile phone users' instant messaging and mobile communications are not interfered with, and they can still communicate and connect normally with people thousands of miles away.
Important systems such as traffic control systems and government official websites have not been invaded.
Otherwise, if the traffic control system is hacked, global traffic will be paralyzed.
Especially in big cities, there may even be many traffic accidents and casualties.
This is no joke!
Intelligence agencies in many countries are also trying their best to find traces of the virus creators.
Because now many network security agencies are helpless against this little black cat.
But the man behind the scenes is obviously more cunning than a fox, and the IP address cannot be traced through the virus.
