An unknown computer virus spread to 13 cities in 4 states in the United States, causing large-scale power outages. Many companies, schools, and supermarkets were attacked by the virus, causing heavy losses.
Within a day, many cities in the United States were attacked by the virus one after another.
News about the spread of computer intelligence viruses was broadcast on American radio and television stations and spread into global news.
Another computer virus incident.
This is not the first time.
At this point in time, the climax of the spat between the island country and Russia has just passed. The United States agreed with the island country's proposal, announced sanctions on Russia, and has already taken action.
The smart virus suddenly broke out in many cities in the United States, making the global atmosphere inexplicably tense.
At this point in time, the networks of American cities were attacked by an unknown virus. The only outside world's thinking about this attack was that this virus attack might be Russia's revenge.
"It was definitely the Russians who did it. They even interfered in the election. This kind of thing is not unusual."
"The whole world should sanction that hateful country."
"They don't know how to live or die. They think we are as easy to bully as the cowards of the island countries. Kill them, increase sanctions, and completely collapse their economy."
"That is a terrorist country and they must be punished."
“…”
On the first day after the news was revealed, various media reports appeared, which aroused the indignation of the American people. Countless abuses against Russia flooded the Internet.
At this special time, Russia has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
Subsequently, the spokesperson of the US White House stated at a press conference that if the perpetrator of the virus attack is found, he must pay the price. As soon as the official voice fell, the CIA announced its involvement in the investigation of the incident.
A large group of spectators all started to get ready to eat melon.
On the second day after the virus attack on the United States was exposed, as public opinion continued to ferment, Russian officials clarified at a press conference. The computer virus incident that broke out in the United States had nothing to do with them and they were completely unaware of it.
It's just that Russia's explanation is not very convincing. Their preconceived notions make too many people think that Russia must have done it.
Both sides insist on their own opinions, and the global atmosphere becomes more delicate.
At Langley headquarters, Tom was sipping coffee and browsing the latest news.
He had been paying attention to the news about the smart virus, and did not clarify and announce the 'investigation results' immediately. The news was fermented, and the bigger the fuss became, the more attention it received.
The greater the public's anger, the less resistance there will be to their next plans and arrangements.
Now the media has pushed the incident to the height of competition between Russia and the United States, which has attracted the attention of the world and attracted sufficient attention.
If there is a big reversal next, it will definitely be very interesting.
"Are all the reporters here?" Tom looked up at the assistant beside him.
"They're all here." The assistant nodded lightly.
"Then let's go." Tom picked up the coffee, took a sip, put it down, grabbed the 'investigation' file, and left the office with his assistant.
He couldn't help but laugh softly when he thought of the islanders feeling even worse than swallowing Xiaoqiang alive.
It has nothing to do with him whether the People's Committee of the island country is aggrieved. His mission is to obtain artificial intelligence technology. Because the technology of artificial intelligence in the island country has been determined, it is most likely to be advanced artificial intelligence.
At the press conference held by the CIA, reporters from all over the world crowded the room and the crowd was surging.
This time is when the CIA announced the results of its investigation into the virus incident. This result may be directly related to the direction of global politics and has attracted global attention. Many devices on the field are broadcasting live.
Velisava was sitting in the front row, looking a little nervous.
She is a Russian journalist in the United States. She is very indignant about the remarks circulating in the press that Russia is the culprit of the attack. However, the power of public opinion in her country is limited, and it is impossible to influence the direction of global public opinion before they come out.
Too many preconceived speculations and hatred of Russia have led the public to believe those baseless speculations from the media.
If at this press conference, the CIA announces the results of its investigation and identifies them as the target of the attack, the confrontation between the two sides will definitely escalate. The already tense relationship between the two parties has definitely worsened.
Suddenly seeing Tom coming out from the backstage, Velisava was shocked and leaned forward slightly.
This is the first time Tom has appeared in front of the media since he took over after the plane crash of the former director Lina, and it was about the investigation of the virus incident.
Tom's face looked a little gloomy, and his bad mood was written on his face.
His appearance made some live reporters on the scene deliberately add a few close-ups, and the atmosphere at the scene became quiet and a little subtle.
"The results of the investigation into the smart virus attacks in four states of our country have come out. This result makes us very regretful and angry." Tom said with a sullen face, grabbing the document in his hand and shaking it.
A group of reporters below held their breath, especially Velisava, who stared at Tom intently.
"According to our investigation results, 13 cities were attacked by smart viruses, which were caused by people from island countries."
What
Wow!
When Tom said the last few words, the scene was like a mentally retarded fan meeting his idol, completely out of control and crazy. The reporters in the front row all stood up, their cameras shooting wildly at Tom.
The gap in the reversal of events was so great that everyone was confused.
Incredible results.
It has been widely rumored that the Russians were retaliating against them, but unexpectedly it was the 'allies' they were helping.
"impossible."
The island reporter on the scene almost shouted, staring at Tom with a red face.
Unlike him, Velisava in the front row almost jumped with excitement. The CIA personally said that it was not them, so this matter had nothing to do with them.
"Mr. Tom, what evidence do you have to prove that the island country did it?" The island country reporter didn't even bother to raise his hand and immediately asked the question, looking very angry.
I had prepared a lot of questions to attack Russia, but now I can't use any of them, and I heard such incredible news.
"We have traced that the IP addresses of the hackers who attacked 13 cities belong to the island country, and the computer virus spreading in 13 cities is a variant of the 'Satan' virus that once caused the global smart virus crisis.
After the last time the 'Satan' virus spread in the island country, it caused huge losses around the world. According to regulations, the team that developed the 'Satan' virus in the island country should now be in prison. However, our investigation found that the developers of this team were not imprisoned and were still leading the research and development of smart viruses. "
Tom asked people to release the investigated information.
It was a researcher from Murakami Shisui's team.
The last time the 'Satan' virus spread, it caused immeasurable global economic losses.
And now, the team members who developed the Satan virus are still at large, helping the island country develop smart viruses
"According to the address we tracked, the virus attack came from the base where they are located. We have enough reasons and evidence to prove that it was this team. We ask the island country officials to hand over the 'Satan' R&D team and bring Return to our country to face investigation and trial."
call! !
The live footage of the press conference has been broadcast around the world through live broadcast footage.
They guessed the beginning, but the result was such a big reversal.
The shadow of the Satanic virus last time is still vivid in my mind. The global network almost fell, and the islanders even falsely accused the army ant group of being responsible, but it was finally discovered.
Now Tom said that it was the 'Satan' virus team that attacked them, and most people chose to believe it.
Only that kind of terrifying intelligent virus research and development team could possibly cause such damage. When the 'Satan' virus spread, even the island countries suffered heavy losses.
If you go crazy and even attack yourself, what else can you not dare to do
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This is a false accusation."
At the reception, reporters from the island country couldn't believe all this, and finally left the reception angrily.
