"Can't we just crack his password?" the manager said to him, "Aren't you an expert in this field? You are a 'computer genius'!"
He looked at the manager in embarrassment and said: "Do you think I can crack the password set by someone who can write such a set of virus codes? The password of this USB disk can only be entered once. Once entered incorrectly, the contents will be lost.
will be formatted."
After hearing what he said, the manager fell into thinking. He was thinking and weighing. Martin (SHADOW) asked for half a million US dollars for the virus code, and now they have made two million US dollars, which is four times what Martin asked for.
Times! Even after paying 500,000 US dollars, they have already earned 1.5 million US dollars, and they can continue to make profits through this ransomware worm in the future, earning more benefits, and its value far exceeds what he wants.
$500,000 paid.
The manager is a businessman, and he knows how to write the word "profit-seeking". Spending half a million dollars to buy this set of virus codes is a sure-profit business, and no one will have trouble with the money.
The manager immediately gave instructions and immediately contacted Martin (SHADOW). According to his request, he paid him the balance. He must get the password in his hand. He must have this set of ransomware worm codes in his own hands!
The manager knew that he was committing a crime by doing this, but in the face of the huge profits at his fingertips, he simply could not remain calm.
In the manager's mind, he has even planned his escape route. Even if the incident comes to light later, he can still take away the money obtained through this set of virus codes and run away with his young and beautiful female secretary.
Just when he was about to contact Martin via email, the cell phone in the manager's pocket rang. It was an unknown caller from Kaohsiung City.
Originally, the manager wanted to refuse the call, but after staring at the phone screen for a few seconds, he still chose to answer, "Hello, who's there?"
"Manager Liu, I am Martin."
On the other end of the phone, a deep male voice speaking standard American English came from the phone.
Hearing the voice on the phone, Manager Liu's expression changed. He immediately put the phone on the table, turned on the speakerphone, and said: "Mr. Martin, we were planning to contact you, and you called us."
"It seems that you are very satisfied with my things." SHADOW said.
"Of course, we are very satisfied." Manager Liu said with a smile: "Mr. Martin, I will pay the remaining balance to your account according to your request."
"Mr. Liu is really good at business." SHADOW sneered and said, "You have made two million US dollars with the things I provided. Are you still planning to give me half a million US dollars and just want to get it from me?"
Password?”
"Then how much do you want?" The smile on Manager Liu's face disappeared instantly, and he asked SHADOW on the other end of the phone with an ugly expression.
"Five million dollars!" SHADOW said.
"Are you kidding me!?" Manager Liu said angrily: "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible. I will not agree to this ridiculous condition of yours!"
"Do you think I'm joking?" SHADOW sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree to my conditions. The transaction must be based on the will of both parties. Since you are not willing to accept my terms,
Conditions, our transaction can be canceled, but... you must transfer the money earned through the virus to my account, two million US dollars, not even a penny less!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Manager Liu shouted angrily at the cell phone on the table.
"If you don't agree, I will tell the company you blackmailed the whole process of this matter." SHADOW threatened in a cold voice: "I think they are frantically looking for this person who blackmailed them for two million.
Dollar guy, think about it if they knew that you did this thing, what do you think would happen? Let me tell you, you will be abandoned by the board of directors of your current company, and you will be abandoned by that wealthy communications company in Europe.
If you go to court, you will not only have to compensate the company for its huge financial losses, but you will also be sent to prison and face a sentence of decades. When you come out of prison, you will be a gray-haired old man.
Your beautiful young female secretary has already belonged to someone else."
"Are you threatening me!?" Manager Liu asked SHADOW.
"That's right!" SHADOW admitted frankly: "And you have no choice."
Manager Liu was so angry that he almost bit his teeth to pieces. He kept taking deep breaths to keep himself calm. After almost a minute, Manager Liu said to the hands-free mobile phone: "I agree to your conditions.
, five million dollars to buy your password!”
Losing NT$500,000 just to experience this powerful virus, using NT$5 million to buy the password to open the USB flash drive in SHADOW's hand, and then using the virus to make a lot of money, Manager Liu chose the latter. He followed
At SHADOW's request, he used his authority to embezzle five million US dollars from the company into the account designated by SHADOW, and successfully obtained the password used to open the USB flash drive from SHADOW.
In a five-star hotel room in Kaohsiung City, SHADOW looked at the five million US dollars that had arrived in his account, with a sneer on his lips. He removed the phone card from his phone, replaced it with another one, and made a call, "Fish
I took the bait."
"Very well, just follow your plan." On the other end of the phone, the clown held up his cell phone and said, "I'll let the Poison Angel cooperate with your actions."
SHADOW hung up the phone, played with the phone in his hand, and said with a sneer on his lips: "Marx once said that capitalists will take desperate risks if they have 50% profit, and they will dare to trample everything in the world if they have 100% profit.
Law, with 300% profit, they dare to risk being sent to the gallows. GHOST, will you show up? I miss the days of being your opponent very much. You are the only one in this world.
Only then are you qualified to be my opponent."
After getting the password sent to him by SHADOW, Manager Liu successfully opened the password-locked USB flash drive and obtained the right to use the "Eternal Blue" ransomware worm. This made Manager Liu very excited and immediately asked the virus to be put into use.
It’s being used. But Manager Liu and I don’t know at this time that they are just “broilers” being used by SHADOW.
Because of the powerful ability of "Eternal Blue" to automatically spread infections, this helpless ransomware worm broke out in many countries around the world in just a few days. Multiple companies were attacked by the virus and were extorted in varying amounts.
