If you want to crack down on competitors, the cheapest way is to throw dirty water on them. You only need to introduce someone who is not afraid of death and act as a scapegoat. The cost is very low.

When Golden Shield Technology announced that it had solved the file garbled virus, users around the world were still praising the technical strength of Golden Shield Technology.

After all, there were too many companies and individuals that were threatened at that time. They were in urgent need of a savior who could help them solve this trouble. When Golden Shield Technology stood up and solved the problem, it was naturally touted.

This also made Jindun Technology Company a little swollen. It had been unknown for such a long time, but this time it finally showed its face in the international community. How could it not swell.

But the good times did not last long, and just when Golden Shield Technology Company was taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop its business and expand its security protection business to the global market.

A conspiracy theory has begun to circulate on the Internet, saying that the file garbled virus this time was probably created by Golden Shield Technology itself.

Their reason is who has benefited the most from this virus incident. As long as people pay attention to this matter, the first thing that pops up in their minds is Golden Shield Technology Company.

Since Golden Shield Technology Company benefited the most from this virus incident, they also had the greatest motive for committing the crime. This inference has been recognized by a large number of netizens.

At first, this kind of conspiracy theory rumor was not taken seriously by Golden Shield Technology Company. After all, it was someone else's fault, and they only adopted ambiguous statements.

In addition, Jindun Technology Company's business has been very busy during this period. The entire company is very busy and does not have so much energy to deal with these things.

Of course, they also believe that such remarks without factual basis may end up being ignored and will not have much impact on the business of Jindun Technology Company, so it is not worth spending too much energy and cost to deal with this matter.

However, the idea of Golden Shield Technology Company is really too naive. Although we don’t know the original motivation of the person who made this statement, even if they are confronted face to face, they will not get an accurate conclusion.

But just when Golden Shield Technology was busy expanding its business, this statement spread rapidly on the Internet at an abnormal speed, and was also quoted by some traditional media.

Traditional media have also joined the discussion on this topic, which means that these remarks are out of the circle, and from a reasoning point of view, everyone feels that Golden Shield Technology Company is the most suspect.

The first thing affected by the spread of this conspiracy theory was the personal security protection business of Jindun Technology Company. The personal security protection business had been developing rapidly before, and the number of people uninstalling it suddenly increased.

This made Golden Shield Technology, which was originally very happy about the rapid expansion of its business, instantly realize that something was wrong. If the incident was allowed to spread, the current good situation would probably come to nothing.

Fortunately, Jindun Technology Company responded very quickly. It immediately established a crisis management team and hired Yuheng Law Firm as their legal advisor to start handling the matter.

First of all, they are investigating and collecting evidence from the person who spread these remarks for the first time. Although there are many anonymous people on the Internet, it is not impossible if they really want to investigate.

Now, the world's largest Internet social media and online news media are both their brother companies. The investigation and evidence collection process was relatively smooth, and the specific identity of the person who made this statement for the first time was still locked.

However, they were not the police and could not take any specific action against this person. Therefore, after identifying the specific person, Golden Shield Technology Company sued the person who made this statement for the first time in Yingjiang.

It's just that here, Jindun Technology Company also knew that it was inconvenient to reveal the specific person. When suing, it only sued the person's online name. After all, it still had this investigative authority.

Although prosecuting virtual netizens seems nonsensical, it is very effective, that is, it forces Yingjiang's own judicial authorities to confirm who the specific person corresponding to the online name is.

The result was naturally very smooth. After all, Golden Shield Technology Company is no longer a small company. Even without this market expansion, its domestic revenue scale is not small, and it still has a certain amount of energy to mobilize relevant forces to speed up the matter.

After the specific person was identified, the rest was very simple. Jindun Technology Company directly sued the rumor maker on the grounds that he spread rumors and slandered Jindun Technology Company, causing heavy losses to business operations.

Moreover, the reported losses were as high as 500 million U.S. dollars. If this case is proven to be true, the rumormonger is likely to face sky-high compensation. Although it is impossible to actually compensate 500 million U.S. dollars in the end, 100 million U.S. dollars is enough for him to drink. Of the pot.

In fact, Golden Shield Technology itself did not think about how much compensation it could get, because the person who spread the rumor was just a homeless man, and even if he won the lawsuit, he would not get so much money.

Their real purpose is to attract the attention of people who are concerned about rumors to this lawsuit as soon as possible, and also to remind other followers that if they continue, they may also face the problem of sky-high prosecution.

Sure enough, after the settlement of the high price prosecution case, the rumors on the Internet about this aspect will be much restrained, and many people will no longer spread this statement wildly, just for fear of being targeted by Golden Shield Technology Company.

The lawsuit is actually not complicated, because the homeless man's remarks have no factual basis, and the homeless man is also a saboteur. Anyway, he is already a pauper, so he openly admits that he did it.

Therefore, the lawsuit was settled in a few days, and the verdict was that the homeless man's behavior was pure rumors, which caused certain economic losses to Golden Shield Technology Company.

However, in terms of financial compensation, it did not go as planned by Golden Shield Technology. Considering that the homeless man only had about 10 US dollars in cash, the court only awarded 1,000 US dollars in financial compensation.

Because no matter how high the compensation is, the homeless man cannot afford it. As for the compensation of US$1,000, it will probably take a long time to repay it.

Faced with this situation, Golden Shield Technology could only express its dissatisfaction, but it had no choice. Although their losses were indeed not as exaggerated as US$500 million, it was an indisputable fact that it far exceeded US$1,000.

Or it could be said that spreading rumors is the cheapest way to attack competitors, but it is very difficult to know the person behind the scenes. Golden Shield Technology Company knew that it would be futile to continue searching, so it did not continue to struggle with this matter.

Since Golden Shield Technology did win the lawsuit, and the homeless man also simply admitted that it was his own image, it was a pure rumor.

Therefore, Jindun Technology Company can legitimately require relevant Internet platforms to delete these previously published remarks and understand the impact of the Internet on them.

Anyway, they are all brother enterprises, and they have obtained legal support, so they are naturally implemented very quickly. The day after the proposal to eliminate the social impact, all news about this on the Internet disappeared.

Moreover, some traditional media also came forward to clarify the content of previous programs about rumors, which gave Golden Shield Technology Company face and prevented Golden Shield Technology Company from getting to the bottom of the matter too much.

I originally thought that this matter was over, and the entire Golden Shield Technology Company continued to develop its own market. The original unloading momentum was effectively curbed, and there was a continuous upward trend.

When the situation was looking good, he was suddenly alerted by the background intelligent security system and discovered that a variety of viruses that were more destructive than file garbled viruses had appeared around the world.

If it were before, Jindun Technology Company would not have to worry about this issue at all. After all, there was not much personal consumer business before, and the raging virus will only bring opportunities to them.

However, their current number of individual users is soaring rapidly. If there is insufficient protection, it will be the greatest damage to their interests, so they must pay close attention to the raging virus.

Therefore, Golden Shield Technology Company immediately released a virus detection report to remind computer users around the world to pay attention to new viruses with greater destructive power.

As for users who have installed their personal security software, they don't have to worry too much. After testing, their software is enough to detect and block these viruses.

Regarding the virus detection report of Golden Shield Technology Company, there are different perceptions in the world. Some people believe that it is because of the garbled file virus incident that made everyone aware of the destructiveness of viruses.

This has led some people with a desire to destroy society to find new ways to vent their anger, and it is not easy to be caught by others. It is a very secretive act of destruction.

Others believe that it was because Golden Shield Technology quickly solved the file garbled virus, which caused people who knew about the virus or had this idea to launch retaliatory actions and wanted to teach Golden Shield Technology a lesson.

Regarding these remarks, Golden Shield Technology Company did not comment. General viruses cannot break through their personal security protection software. No matter what the purpose of these virus makers is, it only has benefits and no harm to them.

Sure enough, as soon as the global computer virus detection report of Golden Shield Technology came out, people became more aware that the current computer security is under great threat. People who had been indifferent before had to install the personal security of Golden Shield Technology. Protection software.

This has further boosted the market size of Golden Shield Technology's personal security software. Until there are no alternative products, Golden Shield Technology is their only choice.

As for those who create viruses, there is actually a reason why they release the viruses even though they know that the viruses they create are not very effective against the Golden Shield Personal Security Protection Software.

In order to reduce the consumption of computer resources by personal security protection software, a passive protection solution was adopted. That is to say, if a virus is created on the computer and the computer is not replaced, the personal security protection software will not actively detect it.

Golden Shield personal security protection software will not actively detect files, but will detect all data interfaces and channels. As long as the person who created the virus copies the virus to another computer equipped with personal security protection software, it will be detected.

It may be that the person who created the virus did not understand this mechanism, because these are the secrets of Golden Shield Technology Company, and it is impossible to tell others the technical principles of your personal security protection software.

So when the person who created the virus creates the virus on his own computer and then sends it to the network through this computer, even if the computer has the Golden Shield personal security protection software installed, there will be no reaction.

Because such behavior is defaulted as a safe behavior by the Golden Shield personal security protection software, all files on the computer will be detected and analyzed unless the user manually initiates a full scan and detection behavior.

Maybe the person who created the virus thought that the virus he created would not be actively detected by the Golden Shield personal security protection software, so he sent it directly from his computer to the Internet.

But this time they learned the lesson, and instead of sending it directly to those regular large-scale Internet corporate websites, they sent it to those pornographic websites. The names they gave were more erotic than the last, and the content was probably "Calabash Baby".

In fact, after they downloaded and clicked on it, their computers were infected one after another. However, it did not attack immediately, but lurked down, and then used their computers as a new source of virus infection to infect more computers.

Of course, if you install the Golden Shield personal security software, you don't have to worry about this problem, but if it is not installed, no one will be spared.

This time the virus was even more severe. It no longer garbled the files, but directly deleted them. Fortunately, Golden Shield Technology released a virus detection report in time, allowing many people to download their personal security files before these viruses broke out. Protection software performs full scanning and killing to avoid huge losses.

This is why the number of people installing the personal security protection software of Golden Shield Technology Company has reached 1 billion in just one month. They are really scared by these malicious viruses.

In addition, the price of Golden Shield personal security protection software is not expensive, and you can even choose to use it for free, so everyone is happy to install it. After all, it is human nature to spend a little money to buy peace of mind.

Seeing that the use of viruses had no impact on Golden Shield Technology Company, and instead helped Golden Shield Technology Company to further expand its market, they decided to change their mind.

Then there is no need to use viruses, but direct hacking attacks to launch attacks on corporate users that Golden Shield Technology Co., Ltd. cooperates with.

I don’t know how much hatred these people have against me. They insist on fighting with Golden Shield Technology Company to the end, and always want to attack Golden Shield Technology Company in some way.

It's just that it is very difficult for ordinary hackers to break through the corporate security protection system of Golden Shield Technology Company. If you use conventional hacking methods to attack for a long time, you will not be able to defeat it for a long time.

On the contrary, because of the constant reminders from Golden Shield Technology Company, these cooperative companies have more recognition of the technical strength of Golden Shield Technology Company and feel that the funds they have spent are worthwhile.

Without the corporate security protection system of Golden Shield Technology Company, with their previous level of security protection, they would have surrendered in minutes, and there would not be much chance of resistance.

You must know that in this era, talents who specialize in computer security protection technology are very scarce. Even if there are, most of them work in national units or large enterprises.

If small and medium-sized enterprises want to hire such people, it doesn't matter whether they can hire them. Even if they can hire them, the cost is very high. It is not as affordable as purchasing security services from Golden Shield Technology Company.

Seeing that this method could not cause harm to the security protection system of Jindun Enterprise, after some attacks, it ended hastily. After all, it would be useless to continue.

But it didn't take long for them to come up with a simple and crude DDOS attack. Originally, this kind of behavior was difficult to implement because most individual users had installed the Golden Shield personal security protection software.

It's not that easy to get a meat-catching machine. Who knew they actually developed a free and easy-to-use software, and then promoted it on the Internet, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The number of installed users of this software has reached more than 100,000, which is a large number. This software usually behaves very normally, and no harm has been found at all.

Just a month later, this software began to send a large amount of useless junk data to every IP address, trying to attack the target system and network resources and completely paralyze the other party's system and network.

To be honest, at first, this attack method really had a certain effect. Although the Golden Shield Enterprise Security Protection System can intelligently identify the authenticity of external traffic data, it can accurately identify invalid requests to avoid invalid requests consuming system resources.

It's just that at the beginning, these small and medium-sized enterprises used ordinary PCs as hardware. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with this level of hardware resources.

Under normal circumstances, such large-scale DDOS attacks will not target these small and medium-sized enterprises, so there is no need to spend more hardware costs on this.

However, this kind of exception still occurs. As a result, even if the Golden Shield Enterprise Security Protection System has the ability to accurately identify the authenticity of requests, if there are too many requests, system resources will still be consumed. In the end, all the requests can only be rejected without analyzing the authenticity of the requests. .

Although this self-protection model can protect the internal network security of the system, it also affects the quality of external services.

Therefore, the external network services of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises have been paralyzed. They can only ask Golden Shield Technology Company for help to help solve this problem. After all, they purchased the services of Golden Shield Technology Company just for this moment.

In fact, solving this problem is very simple. You only need to add multiple PCs to form a cluster and increase the overall computing power of the protection link. Because the enterprise security protection system has the ability to request accurate identification, the resource consumption efficiency is very low.

For a 100,000-level DDOS attack like this, you only need to install two or three more PCs to form a cluster. The Golden Shield Enterprise Security Protection System has very good support in this regard.

It’s just that the security protection system of Golden Shield Technology Company has just become popular. There are very few people who know this technology, so they can only let the people from Golden Shield Technology Company teach them step by step.

But they taught one company that another company would be attacked again, which made Golden Shield Technology Company exhausted and couldn't be busy at all.

They had no choice but to purchase customer service services from Lingchen Technology Company and provide professional technical guidance to all their corporate customers to resolve the matter.

As for companies that have purchased their hardware security protection systems, they have no worries in this regard. If they want to paralyze their hardware security protection systems, they must be at least 1 million or above.

After solving the security problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, Golden Shield Technology Company began to clean up the sources of these DDOS attacks. In fact, this aspect is not too difficult because the proportion of users of their personal security protection system is too high.

Through the enterprise security protection system, they analyzed the request characteristics of this DDOS attack, and then based on these characteristics, the personal security protection system fully scanned and analyzed the software to find out which software was causing trouble.

It only took a day to find the malicious software and warn users about the risks of using it. However, there were not many clues when tracing the software developers.

To be honest, they rarely work with Golden Shield Technology Company one-on-one. If so, it is easy for Golden Shield Technology Company to find their real address. They may also know this, and the mode they adopt is basically not a direct attack mode.

Even if it is a direct attack on small and medium-sized enterprises, it is just a test. After it has no effect, it is simply given up. It is very difficult to check again.

After these lessons, Golden Shield Technology Company realized that there were many existing problems. While it was busy with market expansion, it also needed to solve problems that had been ignored before.

First of all, it is necessary to carry out training related to the Golden Shield security protection system with cooperative enterprises, so that personnel in the enterprise can master common security protection methods and skillfully use the Golden Shield enterprise security protection system.

Furthermore, it is necessary to carry out content training on the Golden Shield security system with universities from various countries around the world, and this matter must be promoted even if money is spent.

On the one hand, the purpose is to reserve talents in this field for cooperative enterprises; on the other hand, it is to make its own security protection system more popular among the people and continue to consolidate its market share.

The second step is to start third-party software certification. The reason why the disguised software was able to succeed this time was due to the random distribution of third-party software. If only certified software could be released, there would be no such problem.

Therefore, Golden Shield Technology Company and Fanxing Software Company jointly developed a practical software security certification system. Third-party software must be certified before it can run on the system, otherwise a security warning will be given.

Since the free operating system of Fanxing Software Company's own software mall has not yet come out, this approach is very necessary at present to eliminate most unsafe software. After users see the warning, they generally will not continue to run it.

With such a combination, Golden Shield Technology Company has blocked all possible loopholes, and also cultivated a large number of loyal fans of security protection personnel, completely establishing their position in the field of computer security protection.

After Zhao Yi understood the cause and effect of the matter, he affirmed the handling method of Jindun Technology Company. The only thing he wants to see now is how they are doing in the field of trusted computing security. (End of chapter)
