Chapter 342: Prelude to Information Warfare
Steve proudly waved his weapon at the player and walked towards the next monster.
He looked at the time and saw it was exactly ten o'clock.
He spent more than ten seconds to kill a monster, picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground, braced his tired body, and continued to upgrade.
Suddenly, he noticed that the computer chassis under his feet had a fan whirring.
The running speed of the computer suddenly became very fast. When he was fighting monsters, the computer actually produced light and shadow effects that could not be produced on a Dell computer!
What a gorgeous, gorgeous picture quality!
Steve was sighing when a burning smell suddenly poured into his nose.
Then, the computer screen flickered, and for a moment, all the pictures turned into pitch black. Only a white light spot appeared in the center of the screen, which was slowly disappearing.
what happened?
He bent down and prepared to check the condition of the main chassis.
However, the light in the room flickered and went out...
Steve was stunned for a moment and scratched his hair to cheer himself up. He wandered to the window and opened the curtains.
After spending a long time in front of the computer, the dazzling sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
"Fake Oil!"
"damn it...."
There were faint curses coming from both upstairs and downstairs.
Was it a power outage?
It's so strange, why is there a power outage in New York?
Steve hasn't slept all day and night, and his mind is a complete lake of slurry.
He thought for a while, since there was a power outage anyway, he had better take a nap first, and then get back to the game after he was well rested.
He returned to the bed, without washing his face or taking off his clothes, he just threw himself on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Steve didn't know that after he woke up, if he wanted to continue playing the game, it wouldn't be as simple as making a phone call.
At least, he had to replace the computer with a new processor and replace the overclocked and burned out Intel processor.
at this time.
Many people don't realize it.
This is a virus program specifically targeted at overclocking chips!
Since Infinite's chips can stabilize the Intel side, in order to maintain a stable operating environment for the overall system, they have locked both the main frequency and the FSB.
However, in recent years, in order to catch up with the speed of Dimensity chips, Intel's publicity has focused on their overclocking performance.
If necessary, users can freely adjust the voltage of the chip through some software to obtain faster operation speed.
Now, the speed is adjusted!
Within seven days, millions of computers were infected, and all computers that were running at this moment started the virus program at the same time.
A very small number of sensitive users can also avoid the chip being burned by unplugging the power plug.
But if you want to completely eliminate this virus program, advanced formatting alone is not enough. You must perform original formatting and re-format the data area of the hard disk.
This also means that all user data on the hard disk will be lost!
This is quite lucky.
Those users who responded slowly could only smell the burning smell of the computer motherboard, and watched dumbly as the computer speed became abnormally fast, and then returned to a black screen within two or three seconds.
Most computers throughout New York and across the United States suffered the same fate.
A company that is delivering documents and negotiating business.
Investors who are placing orders for trading.
The research unit that is processing the data.
Company staff who are designing a plan...
Millions of unsuspecting computer users were devastated at this moment!
Companies, factories, and institutional departments that rely heavily on computers have fallen into a state of complete paralysis.
People panicked.
All information was urgently submitted to various departments in the United States.
A large number of computers in the FBI, Pentagon, and state courts have been paralyzed, and they will have to face a steady stream of damage reports.
Countless computer experts and technicians are urgently investigating what virus caused this unprecedented disaster.
President Bush, the saxophone cowboy known as the least capable, immediately became angry and cursed after receiving the news.
Who on earth dares to do something to them, the United States?!
In just ten minutes, a jihadist organization announced to the outside world that they had created the entire computer disaster and that they were going to completely collapse the American economy!
President Bush was so angry that he immediately ordered the FBI to trace everything about this organization and punish it severely!
After half an hour of technical search, computer experts reported that they had found the virus culprit and were now analyzing the specific code.
It will take them a while to decompile it.
Only by fully understanding the operating mechanism of this program can we write patch files and anti-virus tools for it.
At this time, news of widespread computer paralysis in the United States spread throughout the world through communication networks.
Europe urgently cut off its Internet connection with the United States, and Asia followed suit. Only some countries in North America, such as Canada, also faced the fate of computer paralysis.
Some remaining computer users dare not turn on their computers at all.
The incident broke out within an hour.
Some posts suddenly appeared on various large websites in the United States, and some people claimed to have written anti-virus programs specifically for this virus.
Frightened American computer users rushed to download and install it.
In less than ten minutes, the number of downloaders reached millions, which was more than the number of users in the past seven days.
However, this is just another virus.
Countless computer users who have been deceived are dumbfounded when faced with viruses that can be downloaded and activated immediately.
Millions of computer users were caught off guard by this back-and-forth shooting.
A large number of computers have become scraps!
At this time, FBI personnel suddenly received a secret phone call.
The person on the phone reported the location of this so-called jihadist organization in the United States.
Their personnel immediately dispatched to round up several locations reported.
Fortunately, they acted very quickly and did not allow these virus communicators to escape, but blocked them in their hiding place.
Although they shouted many times through loudspeakers, the people inside did not speak.
In the confrontation between the two sides.
A middle-aged man with an obvious Mao-Russian appearance was suddenly killed by a bullet fired from the room when he tried to step out and surrender.
It was later discovered that the person, named Kane, was the main participant and creator of the virus attack.
People all over the United States despised this man and hated him to the extreme.
FBI agents were forced to resort to force raids and launched fire attacks on the hiding places of the saboteurs.
During the battle, the opponent also set fire to the house in an attempt to burn all evidence of guilt.
The operators no longer cared about the original intention of capturing them alive, and after paying a huge price, they forced their way into the house and killed all the remaining suspicious persons.
And from it, some files that were not burned and the computer hard drive that was not damaged were rescued.
They summarized the evidence collected in several places and found that all the information pointed to one person:
Saddam!
