Chapter 9: Eternal Heart

There are still bookshelves hundreds of meters high, with no end in sight. Only in this kind of scene will I feel that knowledge is endless.

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

Elder Shu looked at Chen Mo and nodded slightly.

"It's still hard work. I finished reading 100 books so quickly. Now you have the opportunity to draw a technology. Do you want to draw it now?"

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

If he studies, he will definitely be able to develop antivirus software, but the time is too long, he has the energy, it is better to use this time to read books in exchange for technology.

"What kind of ransomware?" Elder Shu asked.

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

Shu Lao closed his eyes, and after a while, he pointed his finger. Over the science and technology library, a huge light curtain descended.

On the light screen is the lock screen of the ransomware virus.

"That's it?" Old Shu asked.

"Yes."

"It's very easy to kill this computer virus, you can solve it." Elder Shu said: "Now I'll give you two choices, one is that you can freely choose an anti-virus software technology, and the other is that I will give you the virus code, you yourself Design an antivirus program. In exchange for the virus code, your free choice of technology is changed to random selection.”

"Elder Shu, are you testing me?"

"You can think of it this way." Elder Shu said, "I said at the beginning that the science and technology library is not for you to sit and eat, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many books."

Elder Shu pointed to the bookshelf that could not end.

"Then the second one." Chen Mo said resolutely.

After reading nearly 100 books on computer technology and hacking technology, plus the source code of the ransomware, he believed that he could design an antivirus program without too long.

It's just that this randomly selected technique is a bit mysterious. He has nothing now. If he is randomly given a technique that he can't use or a very tasteless technique, he can only wait for the next time. Now is the time to rely on luck.

"good."

Old Shu nodded, and pointed his finger on the light curtain, and the dense code was listed on it. Then the light curtain shrank, and it turned into a book that fell into Old Shu's hand, and he pressed it on Chen Mo's head.

The dense code is engraved in Chen Mo's mind, and the root of the ransomware virus is also clear in Chen Mo's mind.

All kinds of thoughts are intertwined in his mind.

"When you have designed the virus-killing program, come and choose the technology, maybe there will be unexpected gains at that time." Elder Shu said meaningfully.

After exiting the science and technology library, Chen Mo sat back in front of the computer. With the source code of the virus, the next thing becomes much simpler.

He has an idea now, but this idea has yet to be tested by his program design.

Turning on the computer, Chen Mo started typing the code.

...

The incident that Binhai University was attacked by ransomware was quickly spread on the Internet. In this information age, events spread across the country in the shortest time possible.

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

Major universities in China have also reported that they were attacked by ransomware. There was mourning in the attacked colleges, circles of friends and forums.

The virus is called 'Eternal Heart' and is a variant of the ransomware 'Eternal Blue'.

The same as last time, it mainly spreads through email attachments, phishing URL mass download URL links, users downloading virus files from malicious sites, and after the webpage hangs.

The difference is that if you click on it, the virus will infect the local network of the computer, and then spread throughout the area, greatly enhancing the ability to spread.

The last time ransomware appeared,

Just lock documents, lock videos and hard drive data. This time, the entire computer system was directly locked, and it was impossible to log in to the computer desktop at all.

The main scope of domestic infection of the ransomware variant 'Eternal Heart' attack is still major universities and companies. Spread through the university's regional network and corporate network.

Many colleges and universities have closed their campus networks one after another to prevent the campus network from infecting the "Eternal Heart".

The virus is still spreading and it cannot be stopped.

There are more and more virus incidents in computers, and the Internet is hot. Worry and happiness coexist. Internet access has also become cautious, not dare to open some URLs and unknown software.

This time, it is a variant of the ransomware virus. It is more perfect than the last time. The loopholes have been filled, and the transmission speed is much faster than the last time. In a short period of time, it has spread all over the world.

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

All news media put ransomware on the front page.

"Huaxia has closed virtual currency trading, what is the solution to computer virus? 》

Eternal Blue Variant: Eternal Heart? Nearly a million computers have been infected. 》

"The price of Bitcoin continues to rise due to the influence of the 'Eternal Heart'. 》

...

On the Internet, various reports are overwhelming, and almost all of them have been affected in Europe, where the new variant of the "Eternal Heart" ransomware was first discovered.

The whole of Europe is gloomy and gloomy. The main scope of the attack this time is stock exchange centers, banks, government departments, universities, energy companies, subway systems, corporate companies, supermarkets, etc.

The European stock exchange was forced to suspend trading, causing turmoil in the stock market. The computers of many banks were also attacked, ATM machines could not withdraw money, and banks could not conduct business normally.

The NHS was hit again, with the computer systems of all its hospitals also infected, preventing some rescue and ambulances from 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 the "Eternal Heart", the ransomware virus 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. If the system is reinstalled, all data in the computer will be lost.

Many people's important information is still in the computer, it is definitely not possible to reinstall the system, and they are still waiting for a solution.

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

The FBI has also opened a case to find hacker groups around the world that create variants of ransomware.

Finding the source of the spread of the Eternal Heart, they quickly discovered that it was the result of careful planning by advanced hackers months in advance, and it is still impossible to find out.

Many network security companies also issued warnings for the first time, reminding users not to click on problematic emails.

Various measures and various reports are overwhelming.

Five days have passed, and the number of computers infected by ‘Eternal Heart’ has exceeded one million.

Many network security companies can only give advice on prevention, but there is no real antivirus software that can detect and kill ransomware.

There are only two days left before the first batch of computers infected with the virus. If the virus cannot be found within two days, all the data in the computer will be destroyed.

Many people have been desperate, and have begun to pay hackers with virtual currencies such as bitcoin 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 avenues for money laundering, money transfer, tax evasion and other crimes.

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

In this virus crisis, it is impossible for domestic infected computers to 'redemption'.

Some people can only pray that they can find a way to kill the virus at the last moment, otherwise all the important information in their computer will be lost.
