"Until I get any further news, you will suspend your mission in Africa." Silver Wolf pondered. "Our opponents are setting traps for us at every step. Especially at this time, we must act cautiously. We must take one step and think two or three steps."
Lin Rui nodded.
"By the way, we must also win more support." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded. "So there is currently a task for your team. It's not a big task, but it can reflect our value."
"What mission?" Lin Rui frowned.
"A mission provided by the Americans." Silver Wolf frowned, "I received it before you came back. Angel will discuss the specific situation with you in detail."
Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the Paradise Bar to find him later."
"He's not there. He's in the communications command room with Cobain's team. Go find them there. The completion of this mission may bring enough convenience to us in the future." Silver Wolf Michelle He nodded.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
"This mission is commissioned by the US National Security Agency. As you know, our relationship with them was not very good before. The attitude of the Americans will be directly related to the extent of the influence of the secret society in Africa in the future." Silver Wolf whispered. "As a private military company, it is best for us to maintain good relations with these departments in addition to the military." After Yinlang hurriedly explained something to them, he immediately stood up and left. He had too many things to do, and Orumi's problem alone was enough to give him a headache.
After Yinlang left, Jiang An said strangely, "Lin Rui, what do you think of this mission?"
"What do you think? We don't know the specific content of the mission yet." Lin Rui shrugged.
"I know, I mean the National Security Agency of the United States. They are different from the military. There are very few outsourcing tasks like this. I am a little curious about what the task is this time?" Maangishi frowned.
"It's definitely not a good mission." Lin Rui shook his head. "Come on, come with me to meet Angel."
They left quickly and met Angel and Cobain in the underground communication command center.
"Hey, they're here." Cobain stood up and bumped fists with Lin Rui, "How are you, Captain. How is the scenery of the Mediterranean Sea?"
"Very good, but we are not in a good mood." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Let's not mention this anymore, Angel, what is the mission this time?"
Angel looked at him and said, "The target of this mission is an organization."
"Terrorist organization?" Jiang An frowned.
"No, it's a hacker organization." Angel shook his head and said, "A hacker organization that has been very popular on the Internet recently - the Shadow Brokers. Cobain, you are better at this, please tell them about it."
Cobain nodded, "Recently, a ransomware virus sweeping the world is still invading people's computers, and at the same time, a hacker group has surfaced. Starting on May 13, a new type of worm virus began to Spreading on the Internet, it can lock the infected computer within 10 seconds. All files in the computer are encrypted and cannot be opened. Only by paying the ransom according to the pop-up window can the files be decrypted.
This virus is widely believed to be an upgrade based on Eternal Blue, one of the hacker penetration tools previously leaked by the National Security Agency of the United States. Cyber ??experts said the document was stolen by a criminal gang called the shadowbrokers and made public in April. According to previous reports, the hacking tools stolen by the Shadow Brokers are far more than "Eternal Blue". They claimed to have invaded the NSA's hacking arsenal and obtained a large number of Internet attack tools. "
"A group of computer hackers?" Lin Rui frowned.
"You can say that. But you can also say that they are arms dealers among hackers." Cobain shrugged. "When it comes to Shadow Brokers, you have to mention the 'Equation Organization'. A group affiliated with the NSA, known as NSA's cyber weapons arsenal. This 'Equation Organization' was once the world's top hacker team, and the encryption level of this team is unparalleled. The Stuxnet virus and Flame virus that destroyed Iran's nuclear equipment in 2010 are also widely believed to have originated from Hands of 'Formula Organization'.
Network security company Kaspersky released a monitoring report in 2015 stating that the ¡®Formula Organization¡¯ is one of the most technologically advanced hacker organizations in the world. It has been active online for nearly 20 years and is the crown-maker among cyber espionage. That year, Kaspersky discovered 500 infections by the Equation Group in 42 countries around the world. At the same time, Kaspersky also stated that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Because the virus program created by this hacking team has super self-destruction capabilities, most attacksAfter completion, no traces will be left. "
"This is the first time I've heard of it. I thought you were the strongest in this industry." Lin Rui frowned.
¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t understand this industry.¡± Cobain shook his head. "After the Shadow Brokers claimed to have stolen the Equation Organization's attack virus, they began auctioning these files online. They are like arms dealers among hackers. They often sell advanced attack programs, and sometimes they also sell important world military and political information. . They like to sell weapons among competitors. After customers find that their opponents have the same attack capabilities as themselves, they will naturally become repeat customers of the Shadow Brokers to purchase updated equipment."
"You really have a good way to make money." Jiang An frowned.
"The organization claims to have obtained detailed information about NSA hacking tools. It is said that the US government uses these tools to invade the international banking system, detect the flow of funds between countries, and monitor the flow of funds between banks in the Middle East and Latin American countries. If they expose the information and tools Being confirmed to be from the NSA, this will be the most serious revelation that the NSA has encountered since the "Prism" incident. The National Security Agency is currently struggling with this matter. While trying to deny it, it is trying to track down the Shadow Brokers." Cobain replied road.
"It seems like they haven't traced it." Lin Rui frowned, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of us."
"Yes, this time, they even used the US military's cyber operations command center to fight this organization to the end. But so far, there is still no result." Cobain mocked. "I appreciate the Shadow Brokers more and more, but the damage they cause cannot be underestimated. The ransomware "Want to Cry" that has been ravaging the world recently is said to have originated from the hacking tools leaked by the organization. The last wave When the cyber attack occurred, 300,000 computers in 150 countries around the world were attacked. Among them, the attack also had a great impact on the networks of many industries, including education, petroleum, transportation, public security, etc."
