As Ji Qinglin said, the virus is coming fiercely, and the WeChat groups of major departments are talking about it, and the related news is also reprinting in the circle of friends.

"It's so scary!!! My classmate's phone was locked by a hacker/picture/, everyone should quickly disconnect the Internet and backup."

"Damn, am I infected with the virus? /Picture/The other party asked me to send him money, I'm very panicked now! What should I do?"

"55555555, my black girl was attacked, there are many photos/pictures/inside. What should I do? The hacker who killed the gods should take him with me~"

"Ahhhhh... My appleid is locked. The key is that I/they/iphone, ma, and iPad use the same ID. Which computer master will help me, the little girl will definitely agree to it..."

Amid the wailing sounds, many computer students were blew up their phones.

"Hey, my phone is locked by his mother hacker. Is there any way to recover...what? Flash the phone? No, I have a lot of information on my phone..."

"Brother Ai, what should I do if my appleid is locked remotely... Please help me recover? How long will it take...ah, half a month? What a joke..."

"Oh my god..."

Chen Xu had also arrived at the school.

Four people in the dormitory, Dong Shengjie, Yang Haidong and Zhou Xinghe, all won the bid. Only Jiang Hua, who went to the toilet, cut off the campus network because of weak signal and used 4g to escape the disaster.

Chen Xuzheng took Yang Haidong's cell phone and looked carefully.

Yang Haidong used Apple 8P, a large black background image on his phone, with three large red characters in the middle [Locked].

Below is the unlock serial number.

Below the serial number is the password input box.

Below is a hacker teasing saying: [Dear, I wish you a happy New Year’s Day! You can unlock it by smashing your phone!]

Below is a foreign Bitcoin receiving address, as well as notes, [Android unlocking fee of 100 yuan, iOS unlocking fee of 200 yuan]

The smallest unit of Bitcoin is 1 Satoshi, 0.00000001, all the way to eight digits after the decimal point, but major platforms generally only convert to three digits after the decimal point.

According to the latest market quotation, a Bitcoin is now about US$3,800, equivalent to about RMB 26,000. In terms of conversion, the unlocking fees for Android and iOS are 0.003846/0.007692 Bitcoins respectively.

Chen Xu looked at his phone, then opened the notebook he brought, connected the phone to the notebook with a data cable, and let Xiaobai start analyzing the virus.

Yang Haidong said depressedly: "This hacker is so awesome. Even Apple's id can be stolen."

In half a month, Yang Haidong had already emerged from the shadow of a broken heart, but now he has changed from disliked Zhou Xinghe to a deeply disgusted hatred.

"Yes, it's really awesome." Dong Shengjie nodded, and then said with envy: "How great would it be if I had this technical level? Then I will develop a virus similar to Eternal Blue, and the speed of making money is almost the same as snatching money."

Zhou Xinghe, who was sitting on the bed playing with tablets, sneered: "Stop dreaming. Are you really a safety expert in the world who is a vegetarian?"

Dong Shengjie said: "What's the point? What's the name of the hacker organization that developed Eternal Blue... Shadow Broker, the United States has not discovered them yet, and they have also invaded the US National Security Agency, and they are still free and easy."

Zhou Xinghe said: "I don't know if you should be naive or you are really stupid. How do you know that the US National Security Agency has not discovered them? Or are they just a group of people?"

Dong Shengjie said dissatisfiedly: "Then do you know again?"

Zhou Xinghe said: "Although I don't know, I have eyes to see and brain to analyze.

You can check out the news reports last year. Within five hours after the outbreak of the Eternal Blue virus, including the UK, Russia, the entire Europe, and many universities, large enterprises, and government agencies, all were infected.

But the United States, the origin of the virus, has nothing to do with it. Don’t you find it strange?”

Now Dong Shengjie stopped talking.

No matter what the reason is, things are definitely not as simple as he had thought.

Here, Xiaobai spent twenty minutes deciphering the principle of the virus.

This is a mutated ransomware developed by hackers using Python. It uses the mapping port vulnerability of the campus network to invade the mobile phone. It is not difficult to crack it. For example, Android phones can kill the virus by using special kill tools. It is estimated that a special kill tool version will be released soon on the Internet;

However, the iOS system is in trouble. The virus modified the Apple login information. Due to Apple's closed ecosystem, if you want to retrieve your account and password, you must go through Apple's official account.

Of course, there is no way.

The reason why hackers can easily obtain Apple's ID password is mainly by stealing QQ mailboxes, because according to the survey, 82% of domestic iPhone users use QQ mailboxes for their ID accounts.

After the hacker stole the QQ mailbox, he changed the relevant login information of the Apple ID through the QQ mailbox and locked the user's Apple phone.

This refers to a mobile phone.

But like tonight, the school's mobile phone was locked on a large scale, so hackers could not manually change the login information of apple. Instead, they operated in batches through scripts, and then sent the changed data packet to the specified address.

Just find this data packet address and you can get back the login information of all stolen accounts.

Of course, this is very difficult.

As for why the other party can break through the QQ mailbox so easily, it should be because it has found a loophole in the QQ mailbox.

...

At 7:30 pm, China Overseas University of Technology issued an emergency notice: [Dear students, our school has a large-scale ransomware outbreak. After the poisoning, the mobile phone and the computer will be locked. You must remit money from abroad before you can return it. You remind all students not to process important information on the machine. Our center is contacting experts to repair it, and has reported the case to the public security department for processing.]

At 8 o'clock, more news came. Not only Dongda University's first school was captured, but Zhonghai and hundreds of other universities in China were also captured, as well as some large enterprises, institutions and government departments.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the five major domestic network security companies include 360 ​​Mobile Phone Guard, Tengxun Mobile Phone Manager, Baidu Mobile Phone Guard, Lbe Security Master, and Cheetah Security Master, and successively released Android special killing tools for ransomware.

However, there is still no way to deal with the problem of the appleid login information being tampered with.

The next morning, news about the "New Year's Day virus" was buzzing. According to incomplete statistics from relevant parties, more than 500,000 mobile phones invaded by ransomware were as high as 500,000, of which one were Apple machines. And it did not include ma and iPad under the same ID.

There are help posts seeking high prices for Apple to solve the problem, and scammers are rampant.

In response, local public security organs have also issued fraud warnings.

A well-known mobile phone security expert also gave several suggestions: First, look for official Apple channels to solve the problem.

The invoice for purchasing a mobile phone, warranty card and serial number on the back of the mobile phone packaging box will be sent to the official Apple email address by email. The staff will help unlock it within 15 working days after verification is correct.

Given that Apple's official workload has surged after the outbreak of the virus, 15 working days are just the most optimistic forecast.

Second, find a versatile Taobao.

There are everything on Taobao. Just search for Apple ID to lock. Customer service will tell you whether it can be solved or not, how many days can it be solved, and the probability of the solution success. If you can’t solve the solution, you will get a refund.

Third, compromise with hackers and pay money to unlock.

If you can't wait for the official Apple process, can't find the corresponding invoices and packaging boxes, and think Taobao can't solve it, then compromise with hackers and paying money and unlocking it with the other hand may also be a method that is not a solution.

Of course, this compromise may bear the risks of the hacker not keeping his credibility after paying, or 200 cannot satisfy the hacker's appetite, and you may need to pay another 200 yuan.

In addition to the above three methods, it is not recommended to seek unlocking methods through other channels.

However, after the public security and experts prompted, some people were still deceived.

Many of these people are caused by the fact that there are important information files on their mobile phones, ma or iPads, and they are in a hurry.

At the same time, the New Year's Day virus also attracted the attention of the Ministry of Information Security, and sent a team of "experts" to major mobile phone security companies to urge and guide them to come up with solutions as soon as possible.

The five major security companies are naturally working hard to track the data packet address.

What Chen Xu could think of was naturally thought of, and technicians from these security companies also.

Now it depends on which company can find the address first, who is the first to find it, and who is the no1 in the Chinese mobile phone security industry.

Not only will he make a big splash in this "New Year's Day virus storm", but he can also make a lot of money.

Just as technicians from several major mobile phone security companies scratched their heads, Lin Weiqiao, technical director of China Sea Star Sword Network Security Company, was also paying attention to the incident throughout the process.
