Chapter 170 Kidnapping a City

Wang Zhizheng was looking at a book. It was a Chinese character programming language tutorial released by Marchant Company.The hackers broke into their system last time and took away the virus software, but there was no news.

The Internet is a very complex world. The other party uses IPs from all over the world to invade their computers. It is even more difficult to find out who did it.

After several global virus crises, no high-level hackers were found. They are a small police station and want to find it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.Even if they knew the person, they couldn't take action, at most it was handed over to Interpol to handle the matter.

Fortunately, the last time the loss was not great, so only an announcement was made. They and other personnel wrote a review report, and the story was turned over.

After this incident, let him pay more attention to the learning of Chinese programming language.

A senior hacker on the other side tried every possible means to invade their computer just for the virus program. It must not be that simple.

"Wang Zhi, take a look at this news." A female colleague next to it said: "There is a hacker organization calling itself the'Joker', which has issued a warning on foreign Twitter that this Friday, there will be an unprecedented global scale. The internal network terrorist attack reminds the world of Black Friday in this online world. Their logo head is the same mask that hacked our computer last time."

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was shocked and immediately stretched his head to look at her computer screen.

Sure enough, I saw a piece of news with a video on it.His English is pretty good, and all the text on Twitter is understandable.

"What do they want to do?"

Wang Zhi frowned, stretched his head and watched the video carefully. He didn't notice the female colleague beside him, her face flushed slightly, her gaze looked a little shame.

"I don't know. They won't release the virus file that they took from us? The virus is very contagious."

"Impossible. We have released anti-virus programs for that virus. They released anti-virus software immediately. They are doing useless work. Hackers are one of the smartest groups in the world. For such a simple thing, they It's impossible to expect it."

"Wang Zhi, are you free tonight?"

"amount???"

The'clown organization' issued a warning, which has attracted a lot of media attention and reports.

The hacker organization that emerged suddenly has never heard of this name before.Now dare to blatantly warn the world, many people just treat it as a joke.

After all, cyber terrorist attacks on a global scale have never happened before.Nor has any hacker organization dared to issue such a warning.

As time goes by, the clown organization releases news every day, as if it is counting down.At first, people paid attention, but later it was ignored as a prank.

Friday in the West arrived smoothly.

On Twitter, the clown organization updated Twitter again.

"My heart is like this face, half pure white and half shadow. I can choose to let you see it or insist on not letting you see it. This circus performance is about to open. First of all, I pay tribute to Master Chaplin."

Chaplin's semi-famous quote made the media following this news inexplicable.

London, England.

University of London, here is a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

Alice is in the dormitory, sorting out research papers.She is conducting an economic study on the future Internet economy.As a doctoral student in the business school, this paper will become her doctoral thesis.

In the United Kingdom, it is difficult to study the Internet economy. She thinks it is necessary to go to China next.China's Internet economy is already a well-deserved world leader.

Just after saving the data, she suddenly felt the computer screen flicker.

A mask appeared on her computer screen.

Half pure white, half shadow, scarlet pupils, looks very strange behind the mask.The evil smile is printed on the mask, more like a mockery of the world.

After seeing the screen, Alice's pupils shrank and hurriedly clicked with the mouse without any response.

"What's the matter?" Alice was anxious and tried to restart. The picture displayed was still a face with a clown mask.

The computers on the entire campus instantly turned into a half-black and half-white mask.

In the London Police Station, many police officers stared at the computer screen that turned into a clown picture, and fell into weird silence.

This scene appeared in banks, hospitals, stock exchange markets, subways, supermarkets, companies and other corners.In just one hour, half of London, all service-oriented places are occupied by this black and white mask.

For a time, half of London was paralyzed.

The news spread quickly, and the whole world was in an uproar.

In less than an hour, the virus infected half of the city of London. As for the number of computers, no one kept statistics.Statistics show that it is meaningless, economic losses are what everyone is concerned about.

The panic began to spread.

There is no precedent in history. In the history of computer development, there has never been such a large-scale virus attack that paralyzed almost the entire city.

"London has fallen!——The Times

"The era of cyber horror is coming!——Wall Street Journal

"The Hateful Clown!——European Daily

"The Internet Is No Longer Existed-A Warning From Marching Ants"-Global Times

...

The London network was infected for an hour, and various explosive news appeared.The'clown organization' once again entered people's field of vision.

I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect that an unprecedented cyber terrorist attack would really come.The first location the hacker chose was London, England.At this moment, everyone knows the intention of paying tribute to Chaplin. This is the hometown of Chaplin.

The fall of London caused global panic.The stock market also fluctuates.A financial center is so easy to be hacked.

The previous attack of Eternal Blue and Eternal Heart was nothing compared to this'Joker Crisis'.

Not long after the Internet in London was paralyzed, the British female prime minister at No. 10 Downing Street gave a televised speech, calling on domestic Internet experts to go to the University of London to jointly deal with the Internet crisis.

Other countries have issued emergency orders to strengthen network protection.

This is a huge lesson. No one knows how much the economy will lose if London is closed for an hour.In this informationized world, it is the first time that the financial center city has been shut down. Securities and financial markets have announced that they will stop trading. The specific response date is unknown.

For an hour, the entire world was shocked by this cyber terrorist attack.

In the second hour after the news came out, the clown organization once again released a message on Twitter: "We initiated the London incident and we will take full responsibility. We have successfully kidnapped the city with a ransom of 100 million pounds, within three days. , Settled in Bitcoin."

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

Affected, the price of Bitcoin has soared all the way, and has doubled in just one hour.

A cyber hacker organization blatantly threatened a country. This has never happened in the past. This is the first time a hacker organization threatens a country.
