More than twenty minutes later, Jiang Tao's entire expression changed, "Impossible... how is this possible?!" This was the sentence he kept repeating in his mouth at the moment.
But he has been testing continuously. This virus is real, and he has tested it. The concealment and harm of this virus make him more and more frightened. No wonder it couldn't be discovered before. It is different from regular viruses. This thing is too concealed.
Speaking of which, the computer field sometimes seems a little more cruel than other industries. The winner takes everything, or a genius can take everything. This is not an exaggeration at all.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yan Hai came over.
"Definitely." Jiang Tao stood up, looking a little ashamed, but he honestly admitted that there was no other way. In this technical field... a slap is a slap.
"Have you thought of anything? You are more familiar with the situation in the industry than me in this regard. I am actually not very familiar with the situation in the industry." Jiang Yan Hai asked seriously.
Jiang Tao forced himself to calm down, and then his brain began to work rapidly. Soon he suddenly said, "I thought of someone."
"Who?" Jiang Yan Hai asked immediately.
"About twelve years ago, in June 2007, a major terrorist attack, or cyberattack, occurred in the United States, and the protagonist was the former Ministry of National Defense head of network security in the United States. This person was named Thomas Gable."
"He united a group of hackers to implement a network hacking plan called Apocalypse Invasion Operation in the United States, and almost hacked all the networks in the United States, because he once raised security issues with the national defense network at Ministry of National Defense in the United States, but no one listened to him, and he was fired."
"Then he simply disappeared. A few years later, in 2007, he entangled a group of hackers and mercenaries to hack all the networks in the United States. A total of three-step system intrusion plan was used to paralyze all the infrastructure of the entire country. The first step was to invade the transportation system and paralyze the entire traffic. The second step was to capture the communications and financial systems. The third step was to destroy all facilities, such as electricity, fuel, water conservancy, nuclear facilities, etc."
"He has been preparing for this for several years, and has contacted thousands of hackers on the Internet to help him write programs. This is why many infrastructure networks in our country do not have large data centers and centralized control. Even many infrastructure networks are independently organized."
"Later, Thomas Gable even went to the Woodlawn Backup Network Center in the United States, which is where all data is automatically backed up when there is a problem with the U. S. network. He almost packed up all the bank, securities and other data in the entire United States. Although he was killed in the end, he was a person who could use a laptop to hack into the U. S. defense network." Jiang Tao said quickly.
"It was that incident that led to the major economic crisis and economic recession in the United States in 2008, with indirect losses of at least trillions of dollars."
After Jiang Tao finished describing it, even Wang Jiang looked shocked. Obviously he didn't know about this, or he didn't know the whole story. Although Jiang Yan Hai had no expression on his face, he was also very surprised in his heart.
If this is true, then this person... is really a bit awesome. I shouldn't say very awesome. One person almost paralyzed all the network systems of a country. And was this the cause of the 2008 economic crisis here?
"You mean this virus is similar to what he did?" Jiang Yan Hai raised his eyebrows.
"It's a bit similar, but it seems to be more powerful. You know, since that incident, the United States has been crazy about upgrading its network capabilities, and our country has set up many special firewalls in different areas such as submarine optical cables."
"Many people don't know about these firewalls, but in fact at some point, if something like that happens again in the United States, we can instantly cut off all network connections to the United States, physically, turning our country into a huge local area network."
"In addition, with the advancement of technology, such as supercomputers, cloud computing and other technologies, the power of viruses is not as powerful as it was in the past, but if this virus really starts to spread latently, it is not impossible." Jiang Tao took a deep breath.
The more practitioners you are, the more you understand the horror of a Super Virus.
"So you understand the seriousness of the matter. This matter is not allowed to be disclosed. If you people here make any noise while walking, I believe you will know the consequences." Although Jiang Yan Hai's tone was calm, the meaning hidden in the words made people shudder.
"Understood!" Jiang Tao took a deep breath, "Director Wang, please explain it to everyone again, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't understand."
"Ding dong" Jiang Yan Hai lowered his head and glanced at his phone. A message popped up on his phone.
Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Jiang Yan Hai shook his head. "Okay, no need, someone has already accepted the security and defense work here."
People from the city Armed Police have completely blocked this place. No one is allowed to enter or exit. The news just informed him, not only here, but also the National Computer Center in Wuxi and so on.
Jiang Yan Hai checked his mobile phone when he came here, and none of the viruses detected so far found that the mobile phone was infected. In this way, mobile communications have not been infected for the time being. This virus is specifically targeted at computer networks.
And its super concealment can even target different systems, because its main purpose is not to infect key system files, but to hide inside the system.
Its main purpose is not destruction or anything else, it should be to steal intelligence. The effects of the virus are different, so the harm caused is naturally different.
If you want to destroy the entire system, this virus cannot hide for such a long time.
It doesn't have that much power, although it is equally perverted.
Soon someone from Armed Police came in directly. The leader was at the same level as Director Gao, whom Jiang Yan Hai had often seen before.
"Hello, chief." Jiang Yan Hai gave the other party a military salute.
"Hello! My surname is Liu. We, Armed Police, are in charge of things here this time. If you have any requests, just tell me directly." The other party said simply.
"Captain Liu, for the time being, the security and confidentiality issues here will be left to you. You should have received the order. Otherwise, there are no big problems for the time being, and we can't make a big move." Jiang Yan Hai thought for a while.
"Well, I understand. Director Wang, please tell everyone here. Please cooperate and understand the work. Just say that we have to work overtime here. If you have family members, please notify us temporarily. As for when the lockdown will be lifted, we are not sure, but one thing is that this news should be kept confidential!"
"I understand! Captain Liu Don't worry, the people here are all key personnel who have been working here for a long time. Everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and we are a confidential unit here, and our usual work is confidential." Director Wang immediately became serious.
"That's good."
Jiang Yan Hai did not touch the viruses inside, but directly isolated them, and then quickly established contact with the Wuxi National Supercomputer Center.
It is a professional high-speed data channel. After connecting Shenwei Taihu Light, Jiang Yan Hai directly began to be responsible for retrieving the data there. This time, he was supported by three supercomputers, although it was not as abnormal as Shenwei Taihu Light.
But the retrieval speed is also super fast, so this time it only takes about 40 minutes.
