Chapter 368: The storm suddenly rises

After the warning of Sai'an security was issued, Hu Yifei and Wolf Spider stared at the mutant situation of the zm virus without blinking.

An hour later, the hunter monitoring website of the wolf spider hunter discovered signs of the zm virus spreading on a large scale. In just a few minutes, the scale of the virus had expanded by more than ten times.

Hu Yifei called Dong Hongfeng directly, "Immediately notify all mobile phone companies and operators to close all online application stores, and the virus may be about to break out!"

"Zm is definitely crazy!" The wolf spider bit his lip. According to calculations, the smartphones infected by this wave of viruses will be about 700,000.

The number of 700,000 units is not much compared to the global ownership of hundreds of millions of smartphones, but there is a saying that goes well, "If you don't go out, bad things will go thousands of miles." The impact of bad things will have a double effect. If these 700,000 mobile phones maliciously purchase paid applications, it will be enough to shock the entire industry and even kill this online application store business model.

"If the online app store can be closed in time, zm's attack will be invalid!" Hu Yifei was also calm.

"How is that easy?" asked the wolf spider, "The virus has not exploded. It is difficult to make others close the online app store just by relying on a virus warning from Sai'an Security."

"Do your best and leave your fate!" Hu Yifei didn't care. "If zm wants to take action, he will always find an opportunity. No matter how you defend, you can't prevent it, unless we can master the method of making the living program as soon as possible."

As the two of them were talking, the zm virus completed its spread. After reaching a certain number, the virus stopped spreading in an instant, lurking quietly, waiting for the mutated command. They were like soldiers lying in a trench. The bullets were loaded, and with just one command, they would eject firepower.

After two hours of silence, the virus began to mutate. The entire mutation process took about three minutes, and all 700,000 live programs transformed into viruses.

ZM took two minutes to synchronize the virus. At the moment the synchronization was completed, 700,000 viruses launched an attack.

As Hu Yifei expected, the virus quickly accesses online applications. In the filtered results, the paid program is randomly purchased. The program is processed by zm and runs hiddenly. When the user discovers, the payment has been completed, and even the program has been downloaded to the mobile desktop.

Hu Yifei looked at the wolf spider with a side face.

The wolf spider understood what Hu Yifei meant and said, "I know, capture the virus program, conduct analysis, and come up with a response plan in the shortest time!"

Hu Yifei smiled. It is easy to partner with smart people. In many cases, just one look is enough. Hu Yifei even suspected that the tarantula was a worm in his stomach, otherwise how could he have such a tacit understanding?

The reason why living virus programs are difficult to deal with is this sudden outbreak. Before the virus completes mutation, you will never know what the virus is going to do, what method will be used, and where to attack it. Even if you detect a virus, you cannot clear it. If zm sets the maximum number of viruses at 700,000, and you eliminate one, it will automatically infect another one. Even when it comes back to infect you again, it will become another one. You will always be running after the virus's butt. The update speed of the detection and killing tool will never catch up with the virus's mutation speed, and it is even more impossible to distribute it to all mobile phones within a few minutes.

There is only one way to eliminate the program of live viruses, that is, use the program of live viruses. Just like Sun Dasheng vs. Bull Demon King, the Bull Demon King shakes out many cow lice, and Sun Dasheng will create many monkeys and grandsons. If you change, I will change it, until you eliminate your light.

As Hu Yifei and the wolf spider studied solutions, the outside world began to become crazy.

As Wolf Spider expected, no mobile phone companies or operators closed the online app store. Apple, which was the most cautious, just sent people to specially station on the server when receiving the second notice. The 700,000 viruses released by ZM, without exception, hit the target. Almost all mobile phone companies, including Apple, Google, Samsung, and Nokia, were collectively attacked.

Among the 700,000, 200,000 are Apple mobile phone users. The most losses are thousands of dollars, and the small losses are also dozens of dollars. The sum of this money is 60 to 70 million US dollars, and Apple has become the biggest cup. If you follow the previous rules, if the user is poisoned by the mobile phone and purchase these paid programs, the loss can only be borne by the user. Mobile phone companies, including security companies, will not be responsible for this. You will be considered as unlucky.

But this time it is different. First, the first is that there are too many users involved, and several other mobile phone companies have also encountered the same situation. If they are not handled properly, it will lead to a series of troubles. Second, the application store is not a necessary function for mobile phones, but the mobile phone provider has forced it to be built into the mobile phone. Now there is a problem, and if you don’t look for anyone you want, whether this thing will continue to exist in the future is all a problem.

After the incident, all online mobile apps were temporarily closed, and no one could guarantee whether the virus would continue to spread. The 700,000 yuan was already unbearable. If it spreads again, everyone had to jump off the building.

ZM's attack allows everyone to understand one thing. No matter how mature the business model is, it has its own life span. A small action of a hacker can subvert all powerful existences.

zm's attack did not stop. After the app store was closed, zm's virus began to spread wildly for the second time. In just ten minutes, the number of virus-infected mobile phones increased from 700,000 to 10 million.

The spreading viruses have been mutated rapidly. This time, they no longer maliciously download the paid program, but aimed at the user's calls. Whether the user is dialing or answering, as long as the call time reaches 20 seconds, the virus will automatically cut off the user's calls. If you want to make another call, you can dial it again, but those 20 seconds must be billed as a call.

Why is it 20 seconds? Because zm has only 20 members. If you want to complain, there will be too few people who blame zm!

This time the mutation was very fast, and Sai'an Security had no time to issue a virus warning. So the ten million users who were hit sprayed their anger on mobile phone companies. They believed that it was a defect of the mobile phone itself, which led to frequent call interruptions. The users asked the mobile phone provider to solve this problem immediately! This time, the mobile phone provider was not unfair at all. You are selling a mobile phone, and the basic function of the mobile phone is to make calls. You have to guarantee this!

But what are mobile phone dealers using to ensure that? They can't even detect what the virus looks like. Everyone called Figo for help as soon as possible. Now the only thing that can solve the virus is Figo's safety.

Hu Yifei and the wolf spider also understood the characteristics of the virus at this time.

The wolf spider was a little puzzled and said, "The virus did not infect those phones loaded with secure firmware, but they could do it completely. What exactly does zm want to do?"

"Two possibilities: First, zm itself also has worries-free antivirus technology, which is similar to app security firmware. They may not want to hit themselves in the foot; second, if we announce that loading app security firmware can prevent virus infection, after the user loads it, zm can take action, and then slap us in the face and make us fall into a big fuss!" Hu Yifei analyzed.

The wolf spider also had a headache, "What should we do now? Apart from loading the app security firmware, we don't have any better way to prevent viruses."

"It's okay, I guess zm won't dare to take the second path easily!" Hu Yifei smiled, "Our virus warning has told zm that we have the ability to discover their viruses. zm is still not sure whether we also have the technology to make living programs. They will not attack the app security firmware until they are not clear about this."

The wolf spider breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Yifei's analysis made sense. If zm dared to attack the app module, then Figo would dare to attack Wuyou's anti-virus. This is definitely not the result that zm wants.

"I'll do this!" Hu Yifei smiled and scratched his scalp. "To deal with these lunatics, you have to use carrots and sticks!"

The wolf spider wondered and didn't understand what Hu Yifei meant, but before she could ask, Hu Yifei had already left the technical laboratory.

Figo Security will quickly deliver the solution to every mobile phone company and operator through Saian Security. The solution is actually very simple: members of the app alliance, please urge their mobile phone users to load the app security module as soon as possible; non-app alliance mobile phone companies can recommend users to purchase worries-free antivirus software or the Phantom Magic Killing of Lianwang.

As long as these two new modes of antivirus software are installed, the live virus program will not occur.

The website of Saian Security has opened a special download page to provide a simplified security module download. The module supports most mobile phone systems. Users can choose the corresponding security module to download according to their mobile phone model. This security module will be automatically uninstalled when the user is safe and professional antivirus software or app module.

The happiest thing at this time was Lianfang and Syman Iron Shell. They really made a fortune, and the physical software placed in the software store was instantly sold out.

Although the app's mobile phone companies have obtained the technology of Figo Security, it will take some time to design their own security modules, not to mention that they have to solve the compatibility problem of different models of their mobile phones. This problem is actually easy to solve. You can buy the general solution of Figo Security from Peerless Cool Soft. But now Peerless Cool Soft is in the hands of Lenovo and Samsung. If you want to get the solution smoothly, you will definitely vomit blood.

There is an agreement between Syman Iron Shell and zm, and they have three months of priority. In the zm's security league, only Syman Iron Shell has produced commercial worries-free antivirus products, which can be said to have taken the market advantage in one step.

The mobile phone company has only come up with security modules suitable for a few important products, and it is so hasty that it is not even as good as the one provided by Sian Security. As for other products, it is not enough to care about them. It can only watch Lianfang and Sian Iron Shell make money.

In the chaos, a voice began to spread on the Internet: it was a universal solution for Figo security, which helped the virus easily infect tens of millions of machines; Figo security discovered the virus in advance but did not provide a solution, but chose to recommend that the victims purchase their own security products afterwards, with the purpose of using the virus to gain wealth.

When Hu Yifei saw this news, he knew it was ZM. Their tail was finally revealed. No matter what means they used, their ultimate goal was to crack down on Figo's safety.

The news released by zm is extremely misleading, making many people think that the virus was created by Figo Security itself, and its intentions are extremely sinister. On the one hand, it will mess up your Figo Security brand image; on the other hand, it will find a culprit for mobile phone companies in dire straits.

The wolf spider monitored these unfavorable news at the first time, and she was very worried, "Maybe we shouldn't provide a solution, and we won't get angry..."
