"This time we have to change our strategy. We can't give them a week to think about it!" Sound Wave arranged, "In order to prevent them from cracking our mutant virus, we will only give three days to individual users, and one to two days to enterprise users."
God’s time!”
"Let them pay the information ransom. If necessary, they can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys! Delete all their information!"
When Soundwave was arranging, an anonymous person sent him a message: "Soundwave, are you still using ransomware? Stop it."
"Who are you?" Sound Wave was surprised at first, and then he remembered, "Only a few people know my contact information. If nothing else, you are the Black Bat!"
A smile appeared on his face, "Tsk, tsk, you drove me away in the first place, but now you Shadow Bats are in trouble. I heard that you have all been blacklisted by the Paradise Exchange. How ironic!"
On the other side, Black Bat had an ugly expression. This Sound Wave used to be a member of their organization, but unlike Black Bat, he did whatever it took to make money, so Black Bat removed him.
Now that Soundwave's own hacker organization has grown, they look down on him.
"Sound Wave, because of our past friendship." Black Bat sent a message, "I remind you one last time, stop it! Stop using ransomware viruses!"
Soundwave sarcastically said: "Are you sour?"
Black Bat: "You have no idea who your opponent is, Nebula Information Technology Co., Ltd., there are capable people behind you! If you commit crimes in China, you will be discovered by them sooner or later!"
Soundwave didn't believe it at all, and replied: "Are you kidding me? They just developed a security software, and they can still find me? Black Bat, I didn't expect you to be so afraid now."
Black Bat: "That's it for now, you can take care of yourself."
"What a waste!" Sound Wave snorted coldly. In his opinion, Black Bat was just jealous of him making money and deliberately sent these messages to mislead him.
There are so many hackers in the world making money by using ransomware viruses, why can't there be one more of them? Besides, if the virus is simply cracked, can the other party still find him? What they extort is digital currency and cannot be traced at all.
…
Ten hours after Nebula Security Manager announced that it had cracked the ransomware virus, 3600 Company also announced that it had been able to protect against the ransomware virus, followed closely by Penguin Information Security Center.
The first generation of ransomware seems to have become obsolete, and some foreign institutions have also introduced corresponding protective measures.
But this Internet storm is not over. The day after each security software released version updates, a new ransomware appeared.
The first one discovered was the Russian oil company, which claimed to have encountered a latest version of the ransomware attack. This virus was named petya blackmailer virus, which is more difficult to deal with than Eternal Blue.
The blackmailer virus soon appeared in China, along with the latest version of Eternal Blue, Eternal Blue 2.0 and Eternal Blue 3.0.
"Why is there another variant?" Penguin Information Security Center, Tong Chen is in the limelight. After their technical team worked 24 hours a day to conquer the Eternal Blue version 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 followed.
This overwhelmed them, and the newly updated Penguin Security Manager immediately stopped working.
They have the same headache as 3600 Company. The new virus variant is more difficult to deal with than the first generation, and this time, the hackers extort more money and the time limit is shorter!
Yangcheng, Network Security Management Office.
Due to the outbreak of the ransomware virus, everyone in the office has not had a break in the past few days, and has been receiving calls from the police and asking for help.
"Director Wang!" The secretary walked into the office anxiously and reported to office director Wang Shuanghui: "I just received help. The system of Dongcheng Hospital has been hacked. Now the hospital system cannot be used."
"The hospital said that hackers are asking them to blackmail them for one million US dollars, and the time is two days! If not, all the hospital's data will be deleted. This may delay the treatment of tens of thousands of patients!"
"What? The hospital's management system has been hacked?" Wang Shuang stood up fiercely. This was not a trivial matter and might cause everyone to panic.
"Have the Internet police gone to take a look?" Wang Shuang asked.
"We've gone, there's no way to solve it. They said this time it's version 3.0 of Eternal Blue. This variant is hundreds of times more complex than the previous variant, and now there's no clue to crack it," the secretary replied.
"Sooner or later, these hackers will be caught!" Wang Shuang said angrily. "Hurry up and seek help from network security companies to see if they can do anything. We must not let anything happen to the hospital system!"
He is fully aware of the seriousness of this matter. If the hospital shuts down, people may die! If this matter cannot be resolved, the consequences will be quite serious!
People from the Network Security Management Office immediately contacted network security companies, first of all 3600 Company and Penguin. When the two companies heard about this, they immediately said they would bring teams over to help crack the virus.
"Director Wang, maybe Nebula Information Technology Co., Ltd. is also in Yangcheng, why don't we invite them over?" the secretary reminded.
"Can they do it?" Wang Shuang has dealt with both 3600 and Penguin and has great trust in their technology, but he doesn't know much about this company.
"You can give it a try. Their company is the fastest to crack the ransomware virus," the secretary said.
"Okay, then contact them and ask them to come together!" Wang Shuang said.
Soon, Nebula Information Technology Co., Ltd. received help information from the Yangcheng Network Security Management Office and Dongcheng Hospital.
"This is a difficult matter! If this matter is not completed, the stakes will be too high," Qiao Jian said.
"But it's also an opportunity!" Meng Xiaobai ordered, "Hurry up and gather people, let's go there."
If their company's strength can be proven this time, there will no longer be any doubts in the industry, and their business will expand from individual users to enterprise users.
The market prospects for enterprise users are limitless. For some large companies, a customized security system is worth hundreds or tens of millions!
Dongcheng Hospital, after the hospital system was hacked, the hospital was in chaos.
All patient information cannot be viewed, and scheduled surgeries can only be postponed. Some patients and their families are waiting anxiously.
"How long will it take to solve it?" Yuan Zhesi, the director of the hospital who is nearly 60 years old, encountered this kind of problem for the first time. He has experience in dealing with difficult and complicated diseases, doctor-patient relations, etc., but the hospital system was hacked, and his professional
Skills are no longer useful.
"This... is not clear yet." The administrator of the hospital's information department replied awkwardly.
"Every hour of delay will cause huge damage to the hospital and the patients!" Yuan Zhesi said seriously, "Has the person you invited arrived?"
