"Then what can we do?" Lin Rui frowned. ?Eight?One Chinese W (I)WW. 81ZW. COM

"Until I get back further news, you all suspend your mission in Africa." Silver Wolf pondered. "Our opponents are setting traps for us every step of the way. 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 get more support." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded. "So now there is a task, handed over to your team. It is not a big task, but it can reflect our value."

"What mission?" Lin Rui frowned.

"A task provided by the Americans." Silver Wolf frowned, "You received it before you came back. Angel will talk to you about the specific situation 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 there and find them. The completion of this mission may bring us some convenience in the future." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded.

Lin Rui frowned, "How do you say it?"

"This mission is entrusted by the National Security Agency. You know, we didn't have a good relationship with them before. And the attitude of the Americans will directly affect how much influence the Secret Society will have in Africa in the future." Silver Wolf whispered. "As a private military company, in addition to the military, it is best to maintain a good relationship with these departments." Silver Wolf hurriedly explained to them, then got up and left immediately. There are so many things he has to do, and the problem of Orumi alone is enough for him to have a headache.

After Yinlang left, Jiangan 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, they are not the same as the military. There are very few outsourced missions like this, and I am a little curious about what this mission is?" Jiangan frowned.

"It's definitely not a good task." Lin Rui shook his head. "Come on, accompany me to see Angel."

They left quickly and met Angel and Cobain at the underground communications command center.

"Hey, they're here." Cobain stood up and bumped Lin Rui's fists, "How is it, Captain. How's the Mediterranean scenery?"

"Very good, but we are not in a good mood." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Let's not mention this, Angel, what is the mission this time?"

Angel looked at him and said, "The target of this mission is an organization."

"Terrorist organization?" Kishi frowned.

"No, it's a hacker group." Angel shook his head and said, "A hacker group that has been very popular on the Internet recently—Shadow Brokers. Cobain, you are quite good at this. Tell them about it."

Cobain nodded, "Recently, a ransomware virus that has swept the world is still invading people's computers, and at the same time, a hacker group has surfaced. Beginning on May 13, a new type of worm virus began to spread in Spreading on the Internet, it can lock the infected computer within 10 seconds, and all files in the computer are encrypted and cannot be opened. Only by pressing the pop-up prompt to pay the ransom can it be decrypted.

The virus is widely believed to be an upgrade from EternalBlue, one of the hacker penetration tools previously leaked by the NSA. Cyber ​​experts say the document was stolen by criminal gangs called shadow Brokers and made public in April. According to previous reports, the hacking tools stolen by shadow brokers are far more than "Eternal Blue". They claim to have hacked into 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 'Formula Group'. One is affiliated with the nsa and is called nsa's network arsenal. This 'Equation Group' was once the world's top hacker team, and the level of encryption of this team is unmatched. The Stuxnet virus and the flame virus that destroyed Iran's nuclear equipment in 2010 are also widely believed to come from The hand of 'Equation Organization'.

The network security manufacturer Kaspersky released a monitoring report in 2015, saying that "Equation Group" is one of the world's most technical hacker groups, active online for nearly 20 years, and is the crown maker among cyber espionage. At that time, Kaspersky found 500 infections of the "Equation Organization" in 42 countries around the world. At the same time, Kaspersky also said that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Because the virus program created by this hacker team has a strong self-destruction ability, most of the attacks will not leave any traces after the completion of the attack. "

"The first time I heard it, I thought you were the strongest in this industry." Lin Rui frowned.

"That's because you don't know much about this industry." Cobain shook his head. “Shadow brokers started to auction off these files online after claiming to have stolen the Equation Group attack virus. They are like arms dealers among hackers. They often sell advanced attack programs and sometimes important world military and political information. . They like to sell weapons among their competitors, and after the customer now has the same attack ability as himself, it is natural to become a repeat customer of the shadow broker to buy newer equipment. "

"It's really a way to make money~www.readwn.com~ Jiangan frowned.

"The organization claims to have obtained detailed information on the NSA hacking tools, which are said to be used by the U.S. government to infiltrate 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 It was confirmed that it came from the NSA. This will be the most serious revelation that the NSA has encountered after the "Prism" incident. The NSA is now devastated by this matter. While strenuously denying it, it is trying to track down the shadow broker." Cobain replied road.

"It looks like they haven't tracked it down." Lin Rui frowned, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of us."

"That's right, this time, they even used the U.S. military's cyber operations command center, and they fought with this organization to the end. But so far there is still no result." Cobain sneered. “I appreciate this shadow broker 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 be a hacking tool leaked by the organization. When the cyber attack occurred, 30,000 computers in 150 countries around the world were attacked, and the attack also had a great impact on the network of many industries, including education, oil, transportation, public safety, etc."
