Rebirth: From Computer System to World Richest

Mr. Liu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger temporarily.

If you think about it carefully, things don't seem that simple!

The main reason is that the timing of this invasion is too coincidental. If it hadn't been for this, Mr. Liu would have prepared to lead the team to Shanghai after the typhoon passed, and several other semiconductor companies that he had persuaded would have joined the Dragon Kingdom Semiconductor Alliance!

However, something happened at this juncture!

"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Americans!"

Mr. Liu's face was ashen, but his mind was working rapidly!

AMSL is indeed highly suspect, but SLA Association and Sansang are also the targets of major suspicion!

Because it is not just the lithography machine that is under attack, the automatic control program of the production line, and many other devices with networked OTA functions are all locked!

No matter how powerful AMSL is, it will be difficult to kill all Taiwan Electromechanical's hardware equipment at once!

So the attacker must be someone else!

It was raining heavily outside, and everyone in the factory stopped working at this moment, and all looked at Mr. Liu.

Being watched by everyone, Mr. Liu was also under great pressure at the moment!

Soon, his cell phone rang again.

He glanced at it and saw it was the number of the person in charge of one of its wafer fabs.

As one of Tai M&E's most important assets, the person in charge of the wafer fab has his private number and can contact him directly. After taking a deep breath, Mr. Liu answered the phone.

"Mr. Liu! Something happened in our fab! All major equipment has been hacked! Some equipment has been locked and some equipment has been destroyed by viruses. The technology department said that all operating systems and industrial software have been deleted and encrypted! Their level It can’t be cracked at all!”

"Gan!"

Mr. Liu’s eyes went dark!

Before he could digest the news, a series of phone calls followed, and the heads of several other fabs all contacted him urgently!

As the world's second largest wafer supplier, Taiwan Electromechanical owns more than a dozen wafer fabs. At this moment, all of these fabs have come to a standstill!

A bigger crisis strikes again!

"Who is this horse rider who wants to kill us?"

Mr. Liu was shocked and angry at the moment!

The main factory and major wafer fabs were collectively attacked by hackers, and the entire Tai M&E business came to a standstill!

Soon all the major directors and senior executives came to try to find a solution!

But facing the intruder's methods, everyone is helpless!

The wind and rain are howling outside, and it’s not just Taiwan Electromechanical that is caught in the crisis of hacker intrusion!

"What! All our hardware devices have been attacked by hackers??? Are you sure you are not joking?"

Mr. Ou was shocked by this sudden news!

As soon as he arrived at Tailian Electric's headquarters in the morning, he received a report from the technical department! Then he rushed to the scene urgently.

Just like Taiwan Electromechanical Co., Ltd., Taiwan Electric Co., Ltd.'s photolithography machines and other hardware equipment are all locked!

"Contact me professionals immediately and let them solve it for us! The enterprise-level information security solutions we usually spend money on are not just for decoration!"

"yes!"

With a gloomy look on his face, Mr. Ou came to the office and dialed his number. Then both parties fell into deep thought at the same time!

Two major semiconductor giants were attacked by hackers at the same time. Someone was definitely targeting them intentionally!

"Although it is speculated that he is American, there is no evidence!"

Mr. Ou was very distressed.

Soon, a local security software developer from Wanwan rushed to the scene.

"Mr. Ou!"

"Gong Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you."

After the two parties were polite, Zhou Gong immediately led people to conduct an inspection!

Although it is not an internationally renowned company like Symantec and Kappa, this company has a very high market share in Wanwan, and can be said to be the leading company in the industry!

Many enterprise users purchase their paid enterprise-level information security solutions.

Faced with the big customer's power outage, Zhou Gong did not dare to neglect and quickly completed the inspection, but the inspection results made him frown!

"Hiss! This virus is a bit like a variant of the solar eclipse virus + blackmail virus!"

"No, the eclipse virus is much more destructive than this virus. It should be that the virus developers added part of the eclipse virus code!"

Soon Gong Zhou gave the test results!

"Mr. Ou! According to my speculation, this sudden virus should be a type of blackmail virus. It attacks the vulnerabilities of different hardware devices and then obtains the highest authority, locks and encrypts the original system, in order to achieve the purpose of blackmail! "

"We have tried it, and neither the device key nor other methods can rewrite the original data! Unless the entire device is removed, the motherboard and chips are replaced, and a new system is rewritten, but this does not work. It cannot achieve the anti-virus effect!”

Zhou Gong typed a few times on the computer, and it jumped to a black page.

Under the black background, there is only a very weird Blue Devils logo, and there is a line of English next to it, which translates to "Dream Devil"!

Nightmare virus!

"This virus called "Nightmare" is very invasive. Once we crack it, this payment interface will appear!"

"The only good thing is that the nightmare virus is not very destructive. It is not a virus like the eclipse virus that mainly destroys data and hard drives!"

"The main purpose of this hacker whose ID is Blue Devil should be to seek financial benefits. Do you remember the Eternal Black Virus a few years ago? The nightmare is similar to him! The Blue Devil requires you to pay the corresponding ransom before the information lock of the device will be released. !For example, for this 12nm lithography machine, you need to pay a ransom of US$10 million for each machine!"

Even Zhou Gong was shocked by the madness of the hacker Blue Devil!

10 million US dollars per unit!

The other party's arrogance is simply beyond everyone's imagination!

"hiss!"

Mr. Ou took a breath!

They purchased an AMSL lithography machine for a total price of only about US$90 million, and now they have to pay a ransom of US$10 million!

This makes money faster than robbing a bank!

"I don't care! Since we purchased your information security solution, you have the responsibility to solve this problem! This is written in black and white in the contract!

Mr. Ou gritted his teeth and refused to let go!

"This... I have to contact the headquarters and send more engineers to work together to solve the problem!"

Zhou Gong smiled bitterly!

This is a chore!

Soon, Zhou Gong contacted the headquarters, but the news that came made his face darken.

"What happened?" Mr. Ou frowned.

"Telecom and Taiwan Electric are not the only ones threatened by the nightmare virus!"

Zhou Gong took a deep breath and said: "Lianfa, Yueguang Semiconductor, Xipin, Licheng, Lianyong... and many more semiconductor companies have all experienced this situation!"

"What!"

Mr. Ou was extremely horrified!

The scope of this crisis is far greater than he imagined!

In just one morning, most companies in the Wanwan semiconductor industry were invaded by the nightmare virus!

0

Many giants are anxious at this moment. The customer service phone number of the security software company where Zhou Gong works has been bombarded by countless corporate users. All the company's major technical engineers have been dispatched, but even so, they still can't stop it. The spread of nightmares!

The virus is still spreading further!

The news was quickly known by the media with a keen sense of smell, and the situation was quickly reported!

"The nightmare virus is coming! All netizens please shut down the Internet immediately!"

"Taiwan Electromechanical Co., Ltd., Tailian Electric Co., Ltd. and other semiconductor giants were all caught in the attack and were extorted with huge sums of money by the nightmare virus! The security software companies were helpless!"

"Shocked! After Ghost and Lucifer, another super hacker "Blue Devil" turned out!"

After the report was released, countless companies that had just started to go to work immediately disconnected the Internet immediately if they were struck by lightning, but even so, many companies were also affected!

"Gan! All of my company's computers have been hacked! Now the other party requires us to pay a ransom of US$500,000!"

"Mad! I am self-employed. I was poisoned not long after I turned on my phone today. Now I am asked to pay 20,000 US dollars! Where can I get so much money???"

"This blue devil is crazy about money! The way he eats while riding a horse is too ugly!"

The names Blue Devil and Nightmare are constantly mentioned by everyone!

This nightmare virus that started in the semiconductor industry has quickly spread to other industries, including technology, medical care, information, the Internet, etc. All hardware devices connected to the Internet are likely to be attacked by viruses!

That morning, as the Wanwan Stock Exchange opened, semiconductor-related stocks suddenly plummeted!

Major technology stocks and stocks in other industries also plummeted!

At 10:07 am, the server of Wanwan Stock Exchange also encountered the nightmare virus!

The ugly and ferocious Blue Devils logo appeared brightly on the big screen! This caused countless investors to panic!

Everyone once recalled the fear of being dominated by ghosts and Lucifer!

As time goes by, the negative impact of this chaos is getting bigger and bigger! It even has a tendency to spread to the whole world!

With the ghost case, the network security departments of various countries have already set up corresponding plans, immediately cutting off the network address of the Wanwan IP segment and prohibiting this IP segment from accessing the domestic network!

In just one morning, the Internet turned into a large single-machine LAN!

Longguo also temporarily blocked this IP segment and urgently notified relevant departments and summoned technical personnel to conduct emergency public relations!

"Hey! Luo Yang! Do you know about Wanwan?"

Luo Yang was typing on the keyboard when he received a call from Ouyang Ming.

"I already know the situation. Now I am working on deciphering the nightmare virus. This will take some time!"

"Okay! I'll leave it to you! We're also deciphering it here!"

Luo Yang was typing on the keyboard while analyzing the code of the nightmare virus. He found that it contained part of the code of the eclipse virus!

"Ha! A guy who only knows how to make mistakes!"

Luo Yang sneered!

It was because of this nightmare virus that he was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

The first person to notify him was Xiaobei, who discovered an anomaly on Wanwan Internet. Then came the information security department of Beichen Technology, and the person in charge, Xue Xiaoshan, also urgently reported the situation!

Not long after that, Mr. Liu and Ouyang Ming of Taiwan Electromechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., within a few minutes of each other, both called him Xi!
