The network outage in North America serves as a wake-up call for the world.
Although everyone was preparing for the disaster, what awaited them was still calm.
After investigating the Little Tiger virus, it was discovered that its IP address had been restricted. North America—that's targeted. But knowing how Big Beauty (a nickname for a certain person) is, I can't let you all just watch me suffer!
The guilty are shared, so Tiger Woods got promoted.
Removing the regional IP address and then putting it back into the network is like opening Pandora's box, unleashing all sorts of monsters.
Europe, which is connected to North America, was the first to be affected, and even though Aegis security systems had developed specialized weapons to counter them, they couldn't prevent it.
The mutations are too severe, and the version updates are too slow. By the time you develop a dedicated removal tool, the virus has already mutated several generations.
It was impossible to prevent; a computer virus that swept the globe left all internet users completely bewildered.
The reputation of Shield Security has plummeted, mainly because some users who paid high prices for the product found that the viruses on their computers did not disappear, but instead became more serious.
Plus, once a hard drive is used, it can't be returned or exchanged; you can only get it repaired under warranty. Can you believe how infuriating that is?
That's not all. Crucially, the Shield Security system didn't play a significant role in this virus crisis, leaving many users feeling cheated.
While everyone's computers were infected with viruses and unusable, someone noticed an interesting phenomenon: DaMi Electronics was not affected.
Newspapers also reported on it, and there were even malicious slanderous speculations, saying that the virus was developed from rice in order to increase rice sales.
This guidance has indeed attracted a lot of hostile attention, and there have even been many boycotts of rice products.
But those who understand know that rice, in terms of both system and hardware, is different from a computer.
The virus targets and infects files, such as .exe files, but it will not infect .jav files.
Unless this virus is changed to JAV format, the rice still won't escape.
Everyone understands the logic, but no one from Da Piao Liang's side stepped forward to explain it, yet privately, the sales of rice-making machines have indeed increased significantly.
Those who sell grey market goods are going crazy, buying them up at exorbitant prices; secondhand goods are even more expensive than new ones. Just imagine how high the profit margin is.
Time flies, and Little Tiger's journey from Europe to Asia via the internet has taken him there.
Whether it's branded or compatible machines, almost all of them were wiped out, except for rice, which remained unaffected.
Many people saw the business opportunity, and the distributors of Luzhong Rice Factory came early to wait for the goods.
The supply of rice is planned. Production is based on orders after a conference of distributors. Even then, we can't keep up with the demand. Do you really want to cut in line?
Rice processing equipment is in high demand, and companies are buying up any Loongson-powered machines, whether they are desktops, laptops, or tablets.
The rice has been out of stock in both overseas and domestic self-operated flagship stores for a long time, but it is still crowded with people every day. People come and go in waves, and some even slip money to the sales staff, saying that as long as they tell me when the rice will be back in stock, they can take the money.
Business opportunities will always be seen by someone. Do you think these salespeople are stupid? They also have family and friends. When the goods arrive, they tell their families to come early to queue up, take a few units out, and make a 30% profit including the invoice and the goods.
With prices soaring to this level, even professional scalpers will naturally see a business opportunity.
When Lao Mou saw the photos in the newspaper of people queuing up to buy rice, his eyes turned red. Many of his friends knew about his connection with rice and asked him to help them get some cell phones and tablets.
I thought it would be an easy thing, and I agreed to it at the time, but what happened?
Both the factory manager, Lao Li, and the factory manager, Liu Quan, said they had no stock. So he wasn't too angry. Instead, he told the construction company to speed up construction and try to make the phones as soon as possible.
The rice phone used to cost over ten thousand yuan, but now it's being resold for almost twenty thousand yuan.
Whether or not the construction companies can capitalize on the rice boom depends on how fast they can complete the project.
Xiao Tianna was studying the latest virus sample and was also having a headache. He had been mentally prepared beforehand, but he did not expect the mutation to be so exaggerated.
Previously, viruses were clearly distinguished as worms, Trojans, and malicious bundlers. But now, they've become mixed up.
Different formats, different organizations, yet they can still be linked—this is truly eye-opening.
Take Trojan viruses as an example. Their characteristic is that they try their best to hide themselves and not be detected, parasitizing a certain important location to collect information.
If we're talking about the characteristics of worm viruses, they're quite obvious. These things replicate themselves like crazy and spread themselves to cover more and more electronic devices.
These two viruses have mutated to the point that they share the same transmission pattern. In other words, worm viruses not only replicate themselves extensively to spread, but also spread cautiously and covertly.
Similarly, when a Trojan horse hides itself, it will continuously replicate itself, sometimes even to the extent of an exaggerated worm.
Two viruses were running rampant on my computer, and dedicated removal tools weren't working. To kill the Trojan, I had to scan various drives, which revealed hidden viruses.
However, antivirus software that specializes in killing Trojans, especially those that are hidden, is executed according to programmed commands. It may not be able to detect the Trojans that are openly visible.
This is just one example; there are also worm viruses. Even if you kill the obvious ones, you can't kill the hidden ones. The computer continues to crash under the attack of these viruses.
Solving this problem requires four steps. Just like with Trojan viruses, when scanning, we need to incorporate two forms: those that are obvious and those that are hidden.
This antivirus software also features worm detection capabilities and comes in two formats.
It's theoretically easy to do, but implementing it is a bit difficult.
