Chapter 9: Eternal Heart.)

There are still bookshelfs hundreds of meters high, and there is no end to see. Only in this kind of scene can one feel that knowledge is endless.

Chen Mo walked to the desk and opened the dark red book. Old Shu's figure instantly appeared in the library.

Old Shu looked at Chen Mo and nodded slightly.

"I'm pretty hard, I've finished reading 100 books so quickly. Now you have the opportunity to draw a technique. Should I draw it now?"

"Old Shu, I want to ask if there is any computer antivirus software here that can detect ransomware?" Chen Mo asked.

If he went to research, he would definitely be able to develop antivirus software, but it took too long and he had the energy. It would be better to use this time to read books in exchange for technology and technology.

"What kind of ransomware?" asked Mr. Shu.

"It's outside, on the two computers on my desk." Chen Mo said.

Mr. Shu closed his eyes, and after a while, he pointed his finger. A huge light curtain was descended above the Science and Technology Library.

On the light screen is the lock screen of ransomware.

"That's it?" asked Old Shu.

"yes."

"It is very simple to detect and kill this computer virus, and you can solve it." Mr. Shu said: "Now you have two choices, one is to freely choose an antivirus software technology, and the other is to give you the virus code and design the antivirus program yourself. In exchange for the cost of virus code, you have the right to freely choose the technology and change it to random choice."

"Old Shu, are you testing me?"

"You can think so." Mr. Shu said: "I said from the beginning that the Science and Technology Library is not for you to spend time with, otherwise there would be no such many books."

Old Shu pointed to the bookshelf that could not be expected.

"Then let's get the second one." Chen Mo said resolutely.

After reading nearly a hundred books on computer technology and hacking technology, plus the source code of ransomware, he believes that he can design antivirus programs without too long.

But this randomly selected technique is a bit mysterious. He has nothing now. If he randomly gives him technology that he cannot use or has no money, he can only wait for next time. Now it is time to rely on luck.

"good."

Old Shu nodded, pointed his fingers to the light curtain, and the dense codes were listed on it. Then the light curtain narrowed and turned into a book and fell into Old Shu's hand, which was pressed on Chen Mo's head.

The dense codes are engraved in Chen Mo's mind, and the root of the ransomware is also clearly understood in Chen Mo's mind.

Various thoughts intertwined in my mind.

"When you design the program to detect viruses, come and choose the technology. Maybe there will be unexpected gains at that time." Mr. Shu said meaningfully.

After exiting from the Science and Technology Library, Chen Mo sat back to the computer. With the source code of the virus, the next thing became much simpler.

He already has an idea, but this idea still needs to be verified by him in the program design.

When Chen Mo turned on the computer, he started typing the code.

...

The incident of Binhai University being attacked by ransomware was soon spread to the Internet. In this information age, events spread throughout the country in the shortest time.

The emergence of this news seemed to sound the horn of an attack.

There are also rumors in major universities in China that were attacked by ransomware. The attacked universities were wailing in their circle of friends and forums.

The virus is called "Eternal Heart", which is a variant of the ransomware "Eternal Blue".

The same as last time, it mainly sends download URL links through email attachments and phishing URLs. Users download virus files on malicious sites and spread them after hanging the web page.

The difference is that if clicked, the virus will infect the computer's regional network and then spread throughout the entire area, greatly enhancing the transmission ability.

The last time the ransomware appeared was just locking documents, videos and hard drive information. This time, the entire computer system was locked directly and it was impossible to log in to the computer desktop.

The main scope of attacks on the domestic infection of ransomware variant "Eternal Heart" is still major universities and companies, which are spread through the regional and corporate networks of universities.

Many universities have closed their campus networks to avoid the campus network from infecting the "eternal heart".

The virus is still spreading and cannot be stopped at all.

More and more virus incidents appear on computers, and the Internet is booming, worry and glory coexist. I have become cautious when surfing the Internet and dare not click on some websites and unknown software.

This time it is a variant of ransomware, which is more complete than the last time. The vulnerability has been filled and the spread speed is much faster than the last time. In a short period of time, it has spread all over the place.

Following the last ransomware crisis, another computer virus crisis has swept the world.

All news media put the ransomware incident on the front page.

"Huaxia has closed virtual currency transactions, how can the computer virus be solved?"

"Eternal Blue Variants: Eternal Heart? Has Infected Nearly One Million Computers."

"Influenced by the 'Eternal Heart', the price of Bitcoin continues to rise."

...

There are all kinds of reports on the Internet, and almost all of them are affected in Europe, where the new ransomware variant of the "Eternal Heart" was first discovered.

The whole of Europe was in a bleak state. The main areas of the attack this time were stock trading centers, banks, government departments, universities, energy companies, subway systems, corporate companies, supermarkets, etc.

The European Stock Exchange was forced to shut down, causing chaos in the stock market. Many banks' computers were also attacked, ATMs could not withdraw money, and banks could not conduct business normally.

The UK's National Health Service System has suffered again, and the computer systems of all its hospitals have been infected, resulting in some rescue and ambulances not being dispatched.

In just one day, the "Eternal Heart" has spread to the Middle East, South America, Oceania and Southeast Asia.

With the spread of "Eternal Heart", ransomware has officially evolved into a global virus crisis. This ransomware variant is several times more terrifying than the last virus crisis.

Globally, millions of computers have been infected with viruses and locked screens. If the system is reinstalled, all the information in the computer will be lost.

Many people's important information is still in the computer, so the system cannot be reinstalled. They are still waiting for a solution.

Influenced by the "Eternal Heart", Microsoft's stock fell 2%, and its market value evaporated by nearly $11 billion.

The FBI also filed a case to look for hackers around the world that creates ransomware variants.

After finding the source of the spread of "Eternal Heart", they soon discovered that this was the result of careful planning by senior hackers several months in advance, and it is still impossible to check it.

Many network security companies also issued warnings as soon as possible, reminding users not to click on problematic emails.

Various measures and reports are overwhelming.

Five days have passed, and there have been more than one million computers infected by the "Eternal Heart".

Many cybersecurity companies can only give precautions, but there is no real antivirus software that can detect ransomware.

There are only a few days left before the first batch of virus-infected computers. If within two days, a method to detect and kill viruses cannot be found, all the information in the computer will be destroyed.

Many people are already desperate and have begun to pay hackers such as Bitcoin and other virtual currencies to get the key to unlock the computer.

Since the last ransomware outbreak, people have seen regulatory loopholes in virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, providing ways to commit crimes such as money laundering, transferring funds, and tax evasion.

After the first virus crisis, China's market supervision departments gradually closed the virtual currency trading platform.

This virus crisis makes it impossible for computers infected in China to "redeem themselves".
