Wang Zhizheng was reading a book, which was a Chinese character programming language tutorial released by Army Ant Company. The last time hackers invaded their system and took away the virus software, there was no news from them.
The Internet is a very complex world. The other party uses IPs from all over the world to invade their computers. It is extremely difficult to find out who did it.
In several global virus crises, the high-level hackers who planned it have not been found. If they are a small police station, trying to find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if they knew the person, they wouldn't be able to take action. At most, they would leave it to Interpol to handle the matter.
Fortunately, the loss last time was not big, so we just issued an announcement, and these people wrote a review report, and this matter was settled.
After this incident, he paid more attention to the learning of Chinese character programming language.
A high-level 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, look at this news." A female colleague next to him said: "A hacker group calling itself 'Joker' issued a warning on foreign Twitter that this Friday, there will be an unprecedented global attack. Cyber terrorist attacks have made the world remember Black Friday in this online world. Their logo is the same mask that invaded our computers 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 he can understand all the text on Twitter.
"What do they want to do?"
Wang Zhi frowned and stretched his head to watch the video carefully. He didn't notice at all that the female colleague next to him had a slightly red face and looked at him with a shy look.
"I don't know. They won't release the virus file they took from us, right? The contagiousness of that virus is very scary."
"Impossible, for that virus, we have already released an anti-virus program. They released the anti-virus software as soon as they released it. They are doing a useless job. Hackers are one of the smartest groups in the world. For such a simple thing, they There’s no way I didn’t expect it.”
"Wang Zhi, are you free tonight?"
"Forehead???"
The warning issued by the 'Clown Organization' has attracted a lot of media attention and reports.
This hacker group that suddenly appeared has never heard of this name before. Now I dare to warn the whole world blatantly, but many people just take it as a joke.
After all, cyber terrorist attacks on a global scale have never happened before. No hacker organization has ever dared to issue such a warning.
Time is passing slowly, and the Joker organization releases news every day, as if counting down the time. Some people paid attention to it at first, but later it was dismissed as a prank.
Friday in the West arrived without a hitch.
On Twitter, the Joker Organization updated Twitter again.
"My heart is like this face, half white and half shadow. I can choose to let you see it, or I can insist not to let you see it. This circus show is about to open. First of all, I pay tribute to Master Chaplin."
Chaplin's semi-famous words baffled the media who followed the news.
London, England.
The University of London is a world-famous 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 School of Business, this paper will become her doctoral thesis.
In the UK, it is difficult to study the Internet economy. She feels that 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 eyes look particularly weird behind the mask. The evil smile is printed on the mask, more like a mockery of the world.
After seeing the picture, Alice's pupils shrank and she hurriedly clicked a few times with the mouse, but there was no response.
"What's going on?" Alice became anxious and tried to restart. The picture displayed was still a face in a clown mask.
The entire campus's computers instantly turned into a half-black, half-white mask.
In the London Police Station, many police officers stared at the computer screen that turned into a clown image, and fell into an eerie silence.
This scene appears in banks, hospitals, stock exchanges, subways, supermarkets, companies, etc. In just one hour, half of London and all service venues were 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 London. As for how many computers, no one was counting. The statistics are meaningless; the economic losses are what everyone pays attention to.
Panic began to spread.
Unprecedented, in the history of computer development, there has never been such a large-scale virus attack, paralyzing almost an entire city.

…
London's network was infected for an hour, and various breaking news appeared. The 'Joker Organization' has once again come into people's sight.
I thought it was just a prank, but unexpectedly, an unprecedented cyber terrorist attack really came. The first location chosen by the hackers was London, England. At this moment, everyone knew the purpose of paying tribute to Chaplin. This is Chaplin's hometown.
London fell, causing global panic. The stock market also fluctuated. A financial center can be hacked so easily.
The previous attacks of Eternal Blue and Eternal Heart were nothing compared to this 'Joker Crisis'.
Not long after the Internet in London was paralyzed, the British 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 this Internet crisis.
Other countries have issued emergency orders to strengthen network protection.
This is a huge lesson. If London is shut down for an hour, no one knows how much the economy will lose. In this information-based world, for the first time, a financial center city has been shut down. The securities and financial markets have announced that they will stop trading. The specific reply date is unknown.
Within an hour, the entire world was shocked by this cyber terrorist attack.
In the second hour after the news came out, the Joker Organization once again posted on Twitter: "The London incident was initiated by us, 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.”
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.
Affected, the price of Bitcoin soared and doubled in just one hour.
A cyber hacker group has openly threatened a country. This has never happened in the past history. This is the first time a hacker group has threatened a country.
