Chapter 178: Eternal Blue

The patent war between Zhongxing Group and Google Micro Hardware is in full swing.

Generally, intellectual property lawsuits take more than three months at the fastest. Zhongxing Group has no intention of settling with Brother Gu and the others, so this lawsuit will be fought slowly.

Moreover, the Zhongxing Group is in an invincible position. Ye Donghe does not want to reveal the trump card of the Chinese language so quickly. He wants to play with Brother Gu and the others slowly.

Anyway, Dongyin Water and Taiwei Systems completely dominated the screen in August.

It ranks first in searches every two days, and the Internet is full of news about Galaxy Technology.

On the other hand, Google and Microsoft are not sitting still. After all, this is the home court of Galaxy Technology, and the official attitude is definitely in favor of Galaxy Technology.

So they prepared with both hands, filing a lawsuit with Zhongxing Group and sending people to lobby the domestic mobile phone and computer manufacturers in Dongtang.

However, Guge Company suffered a disastrous encounter with Huawei and the others, but Microsoft successfully appeased most of the computer manufacturers and kept them neutral.

Huang Junjie knew everything about their every move through Zhong's round-the-clock monitoring.

"Loyalty, bring out the eternal blue."

Eternal Blue refers to the hacker group Shado on the night of April 14, 2017

Brokers released a large number of network attack tools.

It includes the "Eternal Blue" tool. "Eternal Blue" exploits the **B vulnerability of the Microsoft system to obtain the highest authority of the system.

Criminals created a ransomware virus by modifying "Eternal Blue". Many university intranets, large corporate intranets and government agencies' private networks around the world were infected. They were extorted to pay a high ransom in order to decrypt and recover files.

Huang Junjie puts on a brain-controlled sensor helmet.

Lines of code were generated on the screen in an instant. With Zhong's cooperation, he was improving the ransomware virus.

About half an hour later, a brand new virus appeared on Huang Junjie's computer.

This virus will scan the terminals of Microsoft systems or Google systems that open file sharing ports. It does not require any user action. As long as the computer is turned on and connected to the Internet, it can spread on computers, servers, and mobile phones.

Even systems that have downloaded patches cannot escape the infection of this virus.

This virus will not completely lock the computer or mobile phone, but will cause three intermittent attacks.

The first is letter locking. The virus will randomly lock a few letters, making it impossible to input these locked letters on your phone or computer.

The second is to stop the camera; the third is to freeze the screen.

These three types of attacks will attack mobile phones and computers at random times and types.

"Zhong, spread this virus around the world, but avoid hospitals and banking systems, control the infection rate to 5%, and constantly change the infected targets." Huang Haojie ordered.

"OK."

Loyalists used backdoors left on terminals around the world and began to crazily infect mobile phones and computers.

However, any terminal that is connected to the Internet cannot prevent the invasion of this virus.



Wang Xiaocong, Qin Ang and their group were playing chicken at a large Internet cafe in Shanghai at the moment.

"Quick, quick, be careful behind you."

"Throw the flash!"

"Fuck, I'm dead."

Wang Xiaocong suddenly saw a shadow appearing in the distance, quickly picked up the sniper rifle, aimed at the target in one go, and pressed the F key to fire.

Well, what the hell, why is the other party still alive and kicking?

Aim again and use the F key to shoot.

Wang Xiaocong looked at the sniper rifle but did not fire. He quickly pressed the F key, but there was still no reaction at all.

Bump! The game character he controlled was shot in the head.

"Manager!" Wang Xiaocong jumped up angrily.

The manager next to the bar heard Wang Xiaocong's voice and quickly came over with an apologetic smile.

"Young Master Wang, what are your orders?"

"Try the F key on this keyboard yourself." Wang Xiaocong said unhappily, holding her hands.

The manager quickly pressed the F key, but there was no response. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Wang, I'm very sorry! This was our negligence. We'll ask you to replace it with a new one right away. In addition, today's purchase will be considered as some compensation from the store. I'm very sorry."

Wang Xiaocong saw that the manager's attitude was okay, so he changed the machine.

"Haha! Xiao Onion, don't drop it into a box later!" Qin Ang teased.

"Don't mention it. The keyboard just broke and I was shot in the head. Let's continue."

Wang Xiaocong and others continued to eat chicken.

The manager quickly asked the computer maintenance man to repair the machine that Wang Xiaocong was playing with just now.

When they came to the maintenance room, the manager became furious:

"What did your maintenance department do? We are high-end Internet cafes, not black Internet cafes! If this happens again, you all will get out of here!"

After saying that, he walked away, leaving behind the depressed maintenance staff.

On the other side, misfortunes never come singly. Qin Ang had just finished teasing Wang Xiaocong, and within three minutes of playing, the entire screen suddenly froze.

"Damn it, Angry, go pick up the box, why are you standing here?"

"Quick, quick!"

"My screen is stuck!"

“Shrimp”

Qin Ang looked at the stuck screen with a confused expression. After waiting for more than two minutes, the screen returned to normal, and his game character had already received his lunch.

"Damn it, boss, come here, your keyboard is broken, hurry up and get a replacement."

"Damn it, the record I just recorded has not been archived. This computer is too rubbish."

Apparently, many of the machines in the Internet cafes are having problems.

The manager had just walked out. When he heard about this situation, he immediately felt something bad and quickly asked three maintenance workers to come out and check the computer.

"What a disappointment, Xiao Cong is gone!" Qin Ang turned away unhappy.

Wang Xiaocong had no intention of playing anymore. After all, no one else would have the intention to continue playing.

The manager could only smile and apologize again and again, but he couldn't cry in his heart. It seemed that the sponsors, Wang Xiaocong and Qin Ang, would not come to their Internet cafe again next time.

At the same time, this is happening all over the world.

Coca-Cola Company, a clerk typing a financial report with his fingers flying.

Suddenly, the buttons 1 and 6 failed. He pressed them five or six times in succession, but there was still no response.

I quickly called the company's computer maintenance man, who checked buttons 1 and 6 and found that there was no problem.

"George, there's nothing wrong with the keyboard, you see." After the maintenance man finished speaking, he typed 1 and 6 in the input box several times, but no problem occurred.

"What's going on? I couldn't use it just now. Damn it!" bsp;

In fact this is just a microcosm.

All over the world, keyboards suddenly fail or the screen freezes, and the camera cannot be started.

At first, most people thought it was a computer or mobile phone failure, but as time went by, this kind of failure that came and went quickly made everyone feel unusual.

After all, it is very normal for a computer or mobile phone to malfunction occasionally, but it is unusual for it to occur on a large scale.

In the past few days, the phone numbers of the complaint departments of Microsoft, Guge, and Sydney have almost been flooded with calls.

Cook frowned when he looked at the report brought by the complaints department, and immediately asked the technical department to detect the cause.

More than three hours later, the head of the technical department hurried over.

"President! Something bad has happened. This time it was caused by someone deliberately spreading the virus."

Cook took the report and started reading it. The special variant of Eternal Blue virus can infect computers and mobile phones and will activate attacks intermittently.

"Can it be cleared?"

The technical director shook his head and said:

"Mr. President, this virus is very strange. It is difficult to eliminate during its incubation period and can only be eliminated when activated. However, computers and mobile phones are very easy to be infected again."

“Isn’t it okay to patch it too?”

"Not yet, we are studying how to prevent reinfection."

"Come out a patch as soon as possible, otherwise we will be too passive." Cook ordered.

Soon, Sydney, Google, and Microsoft issued announcements saying that mobile phones and computer systems were infected by viruses, and they were currently studying how to disinfect and patch them.
