I have a Black Tech Ball

Chapter 17 17 Extortion virus

This subordinate was busy opening his email.

He knew how much effort their enterprise had put in in order to work with the niche car company and become a supplier of the niche car company.

The gift alone had sent out over a million dollars, and he was a direct interface with the niche car company, so he would have a lot of commissions after the final supply.

Thinking of this his motivation became even more full.

But when he opened it, he was dumbfounded, because it was written on the top.

Some of your important files have been saved more encrypted than I have, photos, pictures, documents, zip files, audio, video files, exe files, etc., almost all types of files are encrypted and therefore cannot be opened properly.

The only way to recover them is through our decryption service, and I vouch for my personality to provide a safe and effective recovery service, for a fee!

Please transfer three hundred bitcoins to the account below within three days, if you haven't paid after three days, it will take six hundred bitcoins to decrypt your data.

Once more than a week has passed, we completely delete all information from your computer.

"I've been... caught in a blackmail virus." The subordinate muttered.

Not only him, but all the employees of their company found out that their computers were in trouble, and they had all been hit by an extortion virus.

Not only in Germany, but also in France, Russia, and even in our country of China, this extortion virus has appeared.

In the peace district of Warsaw, a man with a scruffy beard just got up, and the first thing he did when he got up was to open his computer: "I was up all night last night to do the PPT to get it done."

He squinted and said that he was turning on his computer now just to test it properly and make sure nothing went wrong.

He had been up all night for several nights for this presentation, to make it by Monday.

"It has to be perfected to the point of perfection, and not a single mistake can go wrong." He opened his PowerPoint to take a look, but it was stupid, he couldn't open it at all....

"What blackmail virus, how did I get into this virus!"

On the open PowerPoint it says: all your documents have been encrypted by me, and to recover them you must send me $100 within three days.

No expiration date!

"Hurry up and get Chang, he's a computer expert, see if he can recover!" The scruffy man hurriedly picked up the phone and called.

Knock knock.

"Hey, Lao Wang ah call me today weekend is not going to buy me dinner ah?" A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Forget about dinner for a second, I told you my computer got a virus, so get over here and help me out." The scruffy man said briskly.

It had taken him a long time to finish the PowerPoint, and if he redid it now, it would be too late in time, but make him pay, he wasn't happy about it!

"Okay, I'll be right over!"

Hearing his good friend, Old King, say so, Xiao Zhang knew that the other party was not joking and quickly drove over.

After making the call, the king was slightly relieved: "I can't be idle either, try using antivirus software first." Said first he chose Dolphin Butler.

After all, Dolphin was known as a tech giant that was trustworthy.

But open the dolphin butler began to check, after ten minutes after the completion of the check but shows no virus found.

"What? Usually say so powerful, a critical moment to save can't, or change it!"

So Wang found 365 Security Guard again, but it turned out to be the same as Dolphin Butler's!

"It doesn't work, it doesn't even work!" The king covered his head and said, almost to the point of despair, "Do we really have to pay?"

Just at this moment, a knock came from the door.

Knock, knock, knock....

Hearing the voice, the old king's eyes instantly lit up, "Great, this little Zhang is coming quite fast." This gave him hope, and Li was busy running to the door to open it.

After seeing Little Zhang, the old king even pulled him in, "Little Zhang you quickly help me see if the virus I got this time is resolved."

"How many times have I told you, don't download things randomly on the Internet, you just don't listen, now it's fine..." said Xiao Zhang, shaking his head.

But for the sake of being a good friend for many years, he still helped him look at it, and when he saw the old king's computer screen, his eyes changed instantly: "This is an extortion virus ah."

"Is it hard?" King asked, "Can't even you, a computer genius, do something about it?"

Little Zhang nodded, "It's hard, I can only try."

After saying and doing it, his fingers flew and tapped.

Three hours later, Little Zhang sat weakly on a chair, "It's too hard, it's too hard, I've tried everything but I can't solve it!"

In our country of China, not only the old king's computer appeared blackmail virus, many netizens also, this blackmail virus are on the hot search, the majority of netizens began to discuss.

Zhang San: my computer how kind of virus, I just open a random e-mail, and now all my videos can not watch.

Piggy: my computer is also in the virus, I'm not the same as you, I opened a pop-up window.

Wang Xiaoba: I this let me pay a hundred bitcoins to restore my data, and you guys.

Xiaomeng: "It's so cheap, they made me pay three hundred bitcoins, did the price go up?"

Mouse: "Antivirus software doesn't work at all nowadays @Dolphin @Silver Hill @365 Security Guard, where are your promises?"

Niu Gensheng: "Usually only know bragging, now something happened, an account is not said, really white use of your software."

These netizens are incomparably anxious, hoping to quickly restore their data, but these software companies are even more anxious than they are ah.

After all, they don't remove the extortion virus quickly, but the damage to their own reputation.

At 365, a group of technicians are working overtime to crack the extortion virus.

"Five thousand customer computers have been infected now, and this virus is spreading so fast that it's expected to be in the tens of thousands before long." A technician said.

"These viruses are very precious, for the average home computer ransom is only a few hundred dollars, but for businesses, hospitals, transportation then the ransom is high, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Liu Dawei, the section chief in charge of technology, asked, "When can we work out antivirus software, this blackmail virus is a disaster for us, but if it works well it is also our hope to rise, after all, there is no software company on the market that has solved this virus!"

Misfortune depends on good fortune, and good fortune on misfortune!

The technicians frowned as they heard their own chief say, "This will take a week at the shortest with our technology, I'd estimate a week or more!"

"No, a week is too long!" David Liu vetoed it outright!
