Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 744: Heartbleed Vulnerability

At the beginning of April, the British "Guardian" took action. A piece of extremely inflammatory news spread across the screen in the UK, and then slowly affected public opinion throughout Europe.

The title of this report is: "Europe is being controlled by Gale Group"

The "Guardian" pointed out that in just a few years, European databases, storage, cloud services and other businesses have been invaded by Gale Group. Now the European financial industry, telecommunications industry, banking industry and even the technologies adopted by governments in various countries are all It was unimaginable in the past to be able to see the Dafeng Group.

However, such things have spread rapidly in just a few years. What's even more frightening is that no one seems to think there is any problem with this.

The "Guardian" raised a key question with an attitude of worrying about the world, and dared to tell the truth: Are Huaxia enterprises credible?

The "Guardian" summed it up with this sentence: Europe has fallen into the control of the Gale Group invisibly. We don't know the reasons behind this, but we have to think about a problem. If one day the Gale Group What should we do if evil is done to us?

Just such a simple question is enough to incite the emotions of a group of Europeans. Again, Europe hopes to be de-Americanized, but it has never thought of being controlled by China.

No matter how hard Meng Qian tries to promote win-win cooperation, it is impossible for every European to understand its ideas, and it is impossible for every European to believe in its ideas.

The interesting thing about confrontation is that when one-on-one confrontation, whoever is the enemy is the enemy. Once the competitors exceed three parties, there will be such a thing as allies.

Although the European Union and the United States are also rivals, when facing China, there are a group of forces in Europe that are more repulsive to China. At this time, they remembered that they are allies with the United States.

The voices of these people were suppressed by Prism Gate before because of the Prism Gate incident. In such a general environment, they would scold American companies if they said they were good, but now that the Prism Gate incident has faded, these people can finally speak out.

"I can't believe Huaxia's companies, and I can't even believe that our country actually believes in Huaxia's companies. This is choosing to die, and it is irresponsible to the people!"

"Huaxia is too unfamiliar to us, and I don't feel any sense of security in handing over information management to Huaxia enterprises. It feels like I have handed over my home to a stranger to take care of it. It's too embarrassing People are uncomfortable."

"It's a sad thing that Europe has been reduced to being controlled by a company from a developing country. I don't care how powerful the Dafeng Group is. I just want you to not feel ashamed when you choose a Chinese company?"

Various types of opposition groups began to be aroused by public opinion, and launched various attacks on the Dafeng Group and even Huaxia on the Internet.

At this time, it is useless for Meng Qian to take out the card of Prism Gate.

One bang, another decline, three exhaustions, the battle is like this, and so is public opinion. The Prism Gate is suppressed time and time again. Even if the people with a sense of justice look at this matter, nothing can be changed, and seeing this matter again will not change anything. There will be the righteous indignation at the beginning again.

Public opinion came first, and the actions of American companies also began. On April 5, Amazon, IBM, and Apple announced their cooperation, which attracted a lot of attention from the market.

The purpose of the cooperation between these three companies is to hit the business software market.

"Amazon has developed rapidly in the past few years and is known as a benchmark company that suppresses IBM. I thought Amazon might replace IBM in the new era, but I didn't expect to cooperate."

"Steve Jobs said he would never touch the business software market. Apple in the Cook era is just different."

The market was somewhat surprised, and Meng Qian was also a little bit surprised. The surprise was the addition of Amazon.

IBM and Apple would have cooperated to enter the commercial market at this time. Meng Qian once saw the news. At that time, because Apple was in full swing, many people were still looking forward to this combination. Of course, some people accused Cook of forgetting What Jobs once said.

Apple and IBM's partnership, however, did not come as a surprise.

"It seems that American companies have really entered a stage of comprehensive cooperation." Meng Qian couldn't help laughing after thinking about it. If it wasn't for him, this history should not have changed.

It is said that in the next few years, Amazon and IBM will have some fights, but they did not expect to cooperate at this stage when the competition has just begun to heat up.

"If American companies can develop better in this life, maybe they have to thank me." Meng Qian pointed the direction of the tablet and asked He Yating to contact several executives to come and see him.

The cooperation between American companies became more and more obvious, and Meng Qian did not dare to slack off. On the evening of April 8, Meng Qian held a short video conference.

"Have you heard?" Meng Qian asked while holding the thermos.

"Well, I've checked it out, and it should be true." Xiao Boshi responded with certainty.

Fang Chen followed, "The company's technical department has also confirmed this matter."

"It's probably going to be another storm, everyone, get ready." Meng Qian actually knew about it, but pretended he just knew about it.

The content of the meeting afterwards is to discuss with everyone what the company can do and what to do after the next thing happens.

China time came to April 9th, and the most important event in the 2014 IT session came.

The OpenSSL project issued an urgent warning against the Heartbleed open source vulnerability: the Heartbleed open source vulnerability can be used to obtain server work logs from any server using the OpenSSL protocol software. Tens of millions of servers are at risk.

The entire IT industry was awakened by this news.

"The top ten banks in the United States have completely fallen, and all servers have been attacked! "

"Hackers exposed the process of Apple iCloud being attacked, and a large number of private photos of Apple iCloud may be stolen! "

"Heartbleed open source vulnerability will affect more than 60% of the servers in the world, and all well-known websites in the United States will not be spared. "

"Korea's three major credit card companies issued an emergency announcement that all users' credit cards are at risk of being stolen. "

"Amazon cloud platform personal information leakage exposure, the data has not yet been obtained, users need to change the number immediately. "

In the beginning, all the news were just describing objective facts and telling what happened in the world, but soon, reports with subjective emotions followed.

"The UK's financial industry has been hit hard by the Internet, and the safety of users' funds has caused market panic. Should the information age be linked to finance? "

"Heartbleed loophole strips away network security lies, there is no security in the Internet age!" "

"Cloud computing will completely devour personal privacy, and major companies are unable to guarantee user security! "

Public opinion quickly exploded.

"Every time you say that the development of the Internet is not a good thing, you will be scolded that you should go back to ancient times, but how can you justify the security incidents again and again?"

"Facts have proved that these so-called technology giants have no ability to guarantee user safety at all. They only care about technological development and making money with technology."

"Cloud computing should really stop. According to the development plan of cloud computing, all information will be in the cloud in the future. This is too scary. As long as there is a BUG, ​​everything will be over."

Seeing the public opinion erupting around the world due to the Heartbleed vulnerability, Huaxia users are a little confused at the moment.

"It's been a day, why haven't I heard anything about the situation in the country?"

"That is to say, what about the domestic banks? What about the domestic telecommunications agencies? Don't they even issue an announcement when something goes wrong?"

"I'm afraid the matter is too serious and I don't know how to explain it."

Different from overseas reactions, Huaxia's public opinion is mainly skeptical, because Huaxia is so quiet and strange.

It wasn't until nearly 12 hours after the Heart Flow vulnerability was exposed that Huaxia finally responded.

First, several major banks issued an announcement: After 12 hours of internal verification, our bank confirmed that it was not affected by the Heartbleed vulnerability, and users can use it with peace of mind.

Then the three major operators began to speak out: the Heartflow vulnerability did not affect our servers, the security of user information was normally guaranteed, and there was no privacy leak.

Later, major cloud computing companies also began to speak out. Enterprises such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Ying Haiwei all expressed their voices that their cloud platforms were fine and had not been attacked, so everyone can use them with confidence.

But at this time, everyone was even more confused, and doubts were laid. Under the popularization of science by some professionals, Huaxia users thought they were cheated.

"The problem this time is the OpenSSL vulnerability. Any server using OpenSSL protocol software cannot be spared. How can you be all right?

Who are you fooling? "

"OpenSS is the security core of the bottom layer of the entire Internet. SSH, HTTPS, and many other basic encryption libraries are inseparable from OpenSSL. Wouldn't it be more insecure without OpenSS?!"

In addition to doubts, there are some rhythmic ones that directly start to climb to the height.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before some news came from overseas. Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and a group of developing countries were revealed to have basically not been attacked.

At first glance, the common point of this incident seems to be that the attacks are basically concentrated in developed countries.

"Could it be that the hackers agreed to only rob the rich?"

"The number is wrong. It's just that some developing countries have not been attacked, and more developing countries have also been attacked. This shows that this matter has nothing to do with whether the country is developed or not."

"Yeah, there are two developed countries in Europe that seem to be fine."

"So we were lucky?"

"There is an official explanation, go to the hot search to see it."

Everyone was looking for what the unattacked organizations had in common. In the end, everyone found that what they had in common was that the business environments of these institutions and enterprises were all built by Dafeng Group.
