Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations - Chapter 202

202 Doomsday Extortion. Virus Outbreak.

At this moment, on the internet, a special piece of data had spread to all the devices.

Whether it was Windows, Apple, Linux, or even the Divine Dragon System, this special code was there.

This seemingly unremarkable, docile code slowly evolved while Li Chengqian was delivering his speech.

And automatically began to operate in all computer systems.

!!
In the next moment, the code revealed his ferocious fangs.

This code exploded and killed the system’s Guardian process. Then, it replaced it and obtained the highest level authority of the system.

Then, all the computing units of the computer were invoked by this code.

For ordinary computers, they became incredibly slow and could not function at all.

For servers, this was simply a disaster because it took up all the system resources and the server’s service process had been turned off.

In an instant, the entire internet collapsed.

The domain name server, the most basic facility of the internet, was incapacitated.

After the domain name server was incapacitated, all the domain names of websites couldn’t be resolved, thus they couldn’t be accessed. However, if the IP address of a website was known, it could still be accessed via the IP address.

Right on the heels of that, the code continued to spread. All servers connected to the internet lost their service ability because of this code.

This time, even the IP address access method didn’t work.

Windows, Apple, Linux, and Linux variants of Android were controlled by this code.

“My God, what the hell is going on? It took me a day to write the article and I haven’t saved it. Now it’s all gone.”

After Gao Hawen discovered the situation on the computer, his first reaction was that this was a virus. He unplugged the network cable without hesitation.

He was a computer enthusiast and was especially knowledgeable about software and hardware.

“Quick, shut down the computer and unplug the network cable. There is a cyber virus invading our computer.”

Then, Gao Hawen carefully turned on the computer again.

“What is this?” When the computer was turned on again, Gao Hawen was dumbfounded because he realized that the files in the computer were still there, but none of them could be opened.

“0.01 bitcoin? That’s 2,400 Divine Dragon dollars. F*ck you! It’s ransomware again.”

At this moment, Gao Hawen recalled that the last time the extortion virus wreaked havoc, several companies had launched special extermination tools.

“The extortion virus in the last attack was so powerful, and yet it was cleared. I don’t believe that this virus can resist the antivirus software. I’ll download the antivirus software’s specialized antivirus tool and kill it.”

“Damn, why can’t I go online?” Gao Hawen was dumbfounded again because he realized that he couldn’t go online at all.

Then, he tried everything. A newly set up computer was instantly infected with the virus and couldn’t be used.

He wanted to download the special antivirus tool with his phone, but he realized a terrifying situation. His mobile phone couldn’t go online!

Not only was he unable to go online with his mobile phone, but he also couldn’t make calls or send messages. The documents stored in his phone were also locked like the ones on the computer. He couldn’t open or check them. If he wanted to remove the lock, he had to pay a virtual currency ransom.

“The entire internet has collapsed!” At this moment, Gao Hawen finally understood what was going on.

“The operating system suppliers will definitely solve the current problem as soon as possible. Whoever solves the problem first will win the next user.” However, because the entire internet had collapsed, Gao Hawen was not worried because this would definitely attract the attention of all countries and companies.

Only problems that everyone valued would be solved quickly, no matter how big the problem was.

For individual users, the collapse of the internet and the inability to use electronic products made them feel terrible.

Ordinary users placed high hopes on companies such as Windows, Apple, and Linux.

The virus this time was simply a terrifying disaster.

That was because even the work computers of the three companies had been infected with the virus this time. At the same time, they tried their best but couldn’t kill the virus in their work computers.

Even they had become targets that needed to be saved.

“Damn hacker! Don’t let me know who you are, or I’ll definitely kill you!”

“Use the backup computers in the company’s reserves, completely isolate the network internally, and use the system and software discs that were previously backed up.” A large company like Windows had very deep resources.

In response to a possible crisis, they set up a network completely isolated from the internet and stockpiled a number of emergency work computers.

It was so that after a serious virus incident, they could deal with it immediately and recover their ability to work.

“Pay the damn hacker the ransom! We have to restore our ability to work immediately and normalize our computers. We have to kill the extortion virus for Windows users before Apple and Google do it.”

Apple, Google, and Linux Foundation, and other related super companies all activated their emergency plans and began to deal with the virus incident.

At this moment, a line of words appeared on all the infected screens.

“I’m Cerberus, the creator of the Doomsday Extortion Virus.”

“You only have 12 hours After 12 hours, if you still haven’t paid the ransom, I’ll erase all the data on the equipment that hasn’t paid the ransom!”

In the auditorium of Divine Dragon University, Principal Wu had just picked a reporter from the national television station.

The four computers that Li Chengqian used to demonstrate were all connected to the big screen, occupying four corners on the big screen.

“Hello, Mr. Li. I’m Chen Hao, a reporter from the national television station. The Divine Dragon Software Company has achieved world-famous achievements and is currently standing at the peak of the software industry. It has already become a leader of the software industry.”

“I want to ask about your thoughts on the Company’s future direction. Please tell us all.” Everyone’s eyes were focused on Li Chengqian again.

Just then, the virus broke out.

Before Li Chengqian could say anything, three of the four big screens froze. Then, the screens went blank.

Windows, Apple, and Linux were all affected.

Moreover, there was no advance warning.

When the computers were restarted, all the files were locked and couldn’t be opened.

Only the Divine Dragon System had a notification on the interface when the virus invaded.

“A malicious program has been detected. The malicious program is in the control system The anti-virus program is activating, the sandbox mechanism is activating” Immediately, the occupancy of the system’s resources began to soar, directly hitting 100%.

However, after 30 seconds, the operation of the Divine Dragon System became normal.

“The virus has been isolated and is running in the sandbox program The virus is extremely malicious. It is recommended to delete it completely.”

“Yes/No?”

At the same time, on the screen occupied by the other three computers, a line of red text flashed and occupied most of the screen.

“I’m Cerberus, the creator of the Doomsday Extortion Virus.”

“You only have 12 hours After 12 hours, if you still haven’t paid the ransom, I’ll erase all the data on the equipment that hasn’t paid the ransom!”
