Chapter 437 - Red Alert at the Global Malware Protection Center! (1/2)
Chapter 437: Red Alert at the Global Malware Protection Center!
The Korean hackers erupted into chaos!
Another person shouted, ”I'm infected too!”
JIN angrily said, ”Why did you open your inbox for nothing!?”
That person said, ”I didn't open my mail. I downloaded a Chinese translation software from a website. I used it to create a defacing picture to post, and then...”
Then, the person's name dimmed!
”It can spread through doc.u.ments too?”
59-V's avatar on the communication software also dimmed. The final words he said was ”F**k! I'll be going off for a while. I'll try to crack the virus! Seek revenge for me!”
As a hacker!
As a top security expert!
59-V's computer actually got infected? This was no doubt a great humiliation!
However, JIN and company did not make any move. Revenge? They still were unsure of the situation. How could they possible to seek revenge!? The virus came around too oddly. How did the anti-virus software or firewalls not detect and quarantine it? One had to know, as hackers, the anti-virus software they used was definitely not bad. Some of them even personally modified it themselves. They even had homebrewed tools that typical users would not have access to. This was to prevent trojan horses or intrusions by others. Yet, against that panda, they were useless?
Jen issued an alert, ”Why is 59-V still sending e-mails? His inbox is constantly sending emails out to everyone! Didn't he disconnect?”
JIN gasped, ”The virus might be able to auto-reconnect!”
Jen: ”What? Other than pulling his network cable, that 'panda' will keep reconnecting to the internet to spread the virus? It can even destroy EXE's and files. It's a worm virus!”
A hacker, who luckily had not gotten infected, said, ”Anti-virus software is useless against it?”
JIN said, ”The virus library does not have any records or doc.u.ments about this virus!”
b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
It was a new virus!
That '2' actually produced a new, homemade virus!
At this moment, the Korean hackers had drumming heart beats!
......
In Korea.
At a certain office building, an office was still lit.
Han Juyu was a website editor. He had been on a discussion forum live streaming the situation regarding the Sino-Korean hacker war. He had always been anti-Chinese, so when he saw how the Korean hackers were pressing forward while the Chinese were retreating in defeat, Han Juyu felt extremely excited. He chuckled as he published a piece of live news on his computer. The tone he used sounded like he was really enjoying watching fellow Koreans beating a downtrodden enemy. Many radical people liked his form of reporting. After he finished writing and editing, he was prepared to upload a picture of the battle situation. The pictures were screenshots of Chinese websites after they had been invaded by Koreans, filled with profanities.
Ding Dong.
”Hmm? Mail?” Han Juyu clicked open his inbox to take a look. Inside was a mail from his website's boss. The mail had no t.i.tle, and he couldn't tell what it was. Typically, when he encountered such mail, Han Juyu would not open it, but today, he immediately opened it!
Why?
For someone to ask this question, his EQ would definitely lower than 5!
That was because it was his f**king boss' e-mail! Even if the t.i.tle was ”Darn ****”, he would also look at it!
After he clicked it, Han Juyu was surprised to realize that the content of the mail was a bunch of garbage. He did not know what it was and ignored it. He carried on uploading his report and picture.
Suddenly, a panda jumped out!
Shua!
Shua!
All the icons of his executable files changed into a panda holding three burning joss sticks!
Han Juyu shouted with profanity and tried to click the icons, but he could not do a thing. He immediately realized his computer had been infected. He hurriedly cut off his internet, hoping he could prevent the doc.u.ment from being uploaded, but just as he cut his internet, it immediately made an automatic connection!
Upload complete!
It was posted on his website!
Then in Han Juyu's raging surprise, his computer began to reboot. And after it was done rebooting, before he could do a thing, it rebooted once again!
It's over!
The computer was down!
He immediately realized one thing. It was ‘2’! It was done by that ‘2’!
......
At an internet cafe in Korea.
A few hundred machines were whirling away.
Some of them were playing games, others were chatting or watching videos, and there were some watching the Sino-Korean hacker war. They were discussing it on a forum!
Suddenly!
”Ah!”
”My computer has BSOD-ed!”
”What's going on? My computer rebooted!”
”Administrator! Administrator! Quick take a look for me! What happened to the machine?”
”Why is there a panda?”
”c.r.a.p! This machine is down! I was almost done fighting the BOSS. All my day's efforts have been in vain! This is infuriating! I'm going crazy!”
”It's a virus!”
”This...This is Chinese! Wasn't this sentence the one that appeared on the government's website earlier? It's that hacker from China, '2, who wrote it!”
”What does it mean?”
”I heard the translation was ‘whoever offends the mighty nation of China, however distant, shall be destroyed’!”
”Holy sh*t! This is revenge from a Chinese hacker!”
”c.r.a.p, this virus is too powerful! The anti-virus software can't kill it!”
”I just received a phone call. My cla.s.smate's computer also got hit with the virus too. He was just looking at a picture of the battle situation of the Sino-Korean hacker war on a discussion board, but the moment he downloaded it, his computer was completely unusable! He is trying to use recovery to restore the system, but even the recovery system's files were destroyed. There's no way to restore it!”
”Then what can we do?”
”What sort of virus is this!?”
”It's too wicked! This virus is too powerful!”
”I told you not to let your friends download stuff from message boards! The board definitely has an editor or administrator who was infected!”
The entire internet cafe's computers were infected!
This situation played all throughout Korea!
Grief, anger, and curses constantly appeared. At the office, and at home. Computer after computer were infected by the Panda Burning Incense virus!
A hundred!
A thousand!
Ten thousand!
This number constantly increased!
All of Korea was enveloped by the shadow of the panda. There was an emanating panicked atmosphere!
......
At the same time.
On the other side.
The scene on the Chinese side was very different. They were still stagnant on another scene. They did not know what was happening on the other side.
”Come on!”
