The Eternal Heart
There are still many bookshelves hundreds of meters high, and you can't see the end. Only in this kind of scene can I feel that knowledge is endless.
Chen Mo walked to the desk and opened the dark red book. The figure of Old Shu appeared in the library instantly.
Old Shu looked at Chen Mo and nodded slightly.
"Not bad, you finished reading 100 books so quickly. Now you have the opportunity to extract a Technology. Would you like to extract it now?"
"Old Shu, I want to ask, is there any computer anti-virus software that can detect and kill ransomware?" Chen Mo asked.
If he studies, he will definitely be able to develop anti-virus software, but the time taken is too long, instead of wasting that time, it is better to spend it reading books in exchange for Technology from the Library.
"What kind of ransomware?" Shu Lao asked.
"It's outside, on the two computers on my desk." Chen Mo said.
Shu Lao closed his eyes, and after a while, he pointed his finger. Over the Science and Technology Library, a huge light curtain descended.
On the light screen is the lock screen of the ransomware virus.
"That's it?" Old Shu asked.
"Yes."
"It's very simple to check and kill this computer virus. You can solve it." Shu Lao said: "Now I give you two choices. One is that you are free to choose an anti-virus software technology, and the other is that I will give you the code of the virus and you will design your own antivirus program. In exchange for virus code, your right to choose technology freely is changed to a random choice."
"Old Shu, are you testing me?"
"You can think like that." Old Shu said: "I said at the beginning, the Science and Technology Library is not for you to sit and eat, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many books."
Old Shu pointed to the bookshelf that couldn't be expected to end.
"Then the second one," Chen Mo said resolutely.
After reading nearly a hundred books on computer technology and hacking technology, plus the source code of the ransomware, he believes that he can design an anti-virus program within a short period of time.
It's just that this randomly selected technique is a bit mysterious. He doesn't have anything right now. f he is given random technology that he can't use or that is extremely difficult to use, he can only wait for the next time. Now is the time to rely on luck.
"Good." Old Shu nodded and moved his finger to the light curtain. The dense code was written on it. Then the light curtain shrank and turned into a book that fell into Shu Lao's hands and was pressed by him on Chen Mo's head.
The densely packed code was carved in Chen Mo's mind, and the root of the Ransomware virus also became clear in his mind.
Various thoughts intertwined and appeared in my mind.
"When you design the Anti Virus program, come back and choose the technology, maybe there will be unexpected gains at that time." Shu Lao said meaningfully.
After exiting from the Science and Technology Library, Chen Mo sat back in front of the computer. With the source code of the virus in his hand, the next steps become much simpler.
He now has an idea, but it still has to be verified by his programming.
Turning on the computer, Chen Mo started typing.

The incident of Binhai University being attacked by a ransomware virus quickly spread to the Internet. In this age of information, events spread throughout the country in the shortest possible time.
The appearance of this news seemed to sound the horn of attack.
Major domestic universities have also reported that they have been attacked by the Ransomware virus. The attacked colleges, circles of friends, and forums were full of wailing.
The virus is called "Eternal Heart", which is a variant of the blackmail virus "Eternal Blue".
Same as last time, it spreads mainly through email attachments, phishing URLs and mass download URL links, users downloading virus-infected files from malicious sites and webpages.
The difference is that if it is turned on, the virus will infect the computer's local area network, and then spread throughout the area, greatly enhancing its spreading ability.
The last time a ransomware virus appeared, it only encrypted documents, videos, and hard disk data. This time, the entire computer system was encrypted, and it was impossible to log in to the computer desktop at all.
Major universities and companies are the main target of the domestically infected ransomware variant 'Eternal Heart'. Spread through the regional network of the university and the company network.
Many colleges and universities have shut down their campus networks to prevent the campus network from being infected by "Eternal Heart".
The virus is still spreading and cannot be stopped at all.
More and more incidents of computers being infected by the virus are appearing. the Internet is full of fire, fear, and joy. When surfing the Internet, people became cautious, not daring to click on unknown websites and software.
This time is a variant of the ransomware virus, which is more perfect than the last time, the loopholes have been patched up, the speed of transmission is much faster than the last time, in a short period of time, has spread all over.
Following the last ransomware virus crisis, another computer virus crisis has swept the world.
All news media have put the Ransomware issue on the front page.
"China has closed virtual currency trading, what about computer viruses? "
"Eternal Blue Variant: Eternal Heart? Almost a million computers have been infected. "
"Affected by the 'Eternal Heart', the price of Bitcoin continues to rise. "
...
There are numerous reports on the Internet, and in Europe, the first to find a new strain of the Eternal Heart blackmail virus, almost everyone has been affected.
The whole of Europe is in a state of gloom. The main areas of this attack are stock exchange centers, banks, government departments, universities, energy companies, subway systems, corporate companies, supermarkets, etc.
The European Stock Exchange was forced to close the market, throwing stock markets into chaos. There have also been attacks on banks' computers, which have prevented ATMs from withdrawing cash, and banks from doing business properly.
The British national medical service system also suffered, infecting the computer systems of all its hospitals and leaving some rescues and ambulances out of reach.
In just one day, the Eternal Heart has spread to the Middle East, South America, Oceania, and Southeast Asia.
With the spread of 'Eternal Heart', the Ransomeware virus has officially evolved into a global virus crisis. This ransomware variant is several times more terrifying than the last virus crisis.
Around the world, millions of computers have been infected with viruses and locked out. If you reinstall the system, all the data in the computer will be lost.
Many people still have important information on their computers, and certainly can't reinstall the system. They are still waiting for solutions.
Affected by the 'Eternal Heart', Microsoft's stock plunged 2% and its market value evaporated by nearly $11 billion.
The FBI has also launched a global effort to find hacking groups that could create a variant of the blackmail virus.
The source of the 'eternal heart' spread was found, and it quickly became apparent that it was the result of a sophisticated hacking campaign that had been orchestrated months in advance and was still unknown.
After finding the source of the spread of 'Eternal Heart', it quickly became apparent that it was the result of a sophisticated hacking campaign that had been orchestrated months in advance, and it is still impossible to find out.
Many network security companies also issued warnings for the first time, reminding users not to click on questionable emails.
All kinds of measures and various kinds of reports are everywhere.
Five days have passed, and the number of computers infected by "Eternal Heart" has exceeded 10 million.
Many cyber security companies can only give advice on how to prevent it, but they do not yet have a real anti-virus software that can detect and kill the Ransomware virus.
There are only two days left for the first batch of computers infected with the virus. If the virus is not killed within two days, all the data in the computers will be destroyed.
Many people have been desperate and have begun to pay hackers with virtual currencies such as Bitcoin to get the key to unlock their computers.
Since the last ransomware outbreak, people have seen the loopholes in the supervision and management of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, which provide avenues for crimes such as money laundering, transfer of funds, and tax evasion.
After the first virus crisis, China's market supervision department gradually shut down the virtual currency trading platform.
Due to which this virus crisis has made it impossible for the infected computers in the country to "redeem themselves".
Some people can only pray that at the last moment they will be able to find out how to kill this virus, otherwise, the vital information in their computers will be lost.
