Episode 248

The construction cost and operation and maintenance cost of the 3G network are fixed, and the huge traffic bills brought by the downloading of large files at full load for some users within a certain period of time bring very little actual cost to the operators. However, operators are operators after all, and they have their own interest considerations. Zhiyu Technology urgently negotiated with it for several hours. After all, the operators refused to discount this traffic fee.

At 20:00 on December 14, 2009, Zhiyu Technology first announced in a short message that emergency negotiations with various operators had failed, and then announced a unilateral detailed solution: "Take the first case of FreeHuman worm infection at 21:50 on December 13 It is the standard time point. Prior to this, the smart phone was installed and granted to the user with the highest authority of the Spring and Autumn Security Manager, and Spring and Autumn Security Manager and Xinbao will compensate in full for the huge amount of data arrears caused by the FreeHuman worm; before that, the smart phone Users who uninstall or deprive Chunqiu Security Manager of the highest authority shall be deemed to be fully responsible for the user. Zhiyu Technology, Zhixing Technology, Chunqiu Security Manager, Xinbao, etc. shall not compensate."

In other words, there is no reason to blame the mobile phone operating system if users have problems downloading virus software. The Internet software industry has no such habit. Just like a personal computer desktop or laptop, no matter if it is a Windows system or an Apple system, there is a virus in the playing computer, and no one has angrily sued Microsoft and Apple.

The panda burning incense in 2007, the Onlinegames series of Trojans in 2008, and the U disk parasites in 2009, netizens' anger all point to the makers and spreaders of the virus, rather than asking Microsoft to be responsible.

Zhiyu Technology can completely stay out of things like Microsoft, and Spring and Autumn Security Butler can also completely push the responsibility to users like anti-virus software.

However, Wei Dongsheng restrained himself with a higher standard and assumed responsibility that he could have removed.

There are two reasons.

The first reason is that Wei Dongsheng made an idealistic mistake.

Wei Dongsheng despised the promotion of rogue software and firmly believed that the results obtained by forcing users to be based on false beaches. Wei Dongsheng has done what he said. Since Spring and Autumn Security Manager started out by checking and killing rogue software, Spring and Autumn Security Manager should not become a new rogue software. If the user is tired of Spring and Autumn Security Manager, click OK three times to uninstall Spring and Autumn Security Manager cleanly.

Unexpectedly, the convenience given to users by Wei Dongsheng's idealistic psychology was miserably used by the FreeHuman worm.

In other words, the smart phone version of Spring and Autumn Security Manager integrates a variety of mature auxiliary management strategies. If the Spring and Autumn Security Manager is activated, a huge amount of data arrears event is impossible. Because the user’s set or default daily maximum flow limit is exceeded, Spring and Autumn Security Manager will force a pop-up notification to remind the user; more than twice the daily maximum flow limit, Spring and Autumn Security Manager will forcefully cut off the 3G network connection. In addition, Spring and Autumn Security Manager also provides a safe traffic mode for special situations, that is, automatically monitor suspicious traffic usage, set download speed limits, remind users which application software is secretly running traffic, and so on.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the closeness of the Spring and Autumn Security Butler, each operator has no incentive to build its own traffic control system.

In 30 years of memory, the Premier of the State Council of China only started the issuance of the third-generation mobile communication licenses on December 31, 2008, but the current China has built a 3G network two years in advance. Especially the TD-SCDMA standard that Zhiyu Telecom participates in, after several years of continuous optimization, the actual experience has been equal to the fourth-generation standard TD-LTE in 30 years of memory, and it is 4G known as 3G. The current 3G network experience in 2009 is completely different from 30 years of memory, and the charging strategies of the operators in the two generations are also very different. In 30 years of memory, China Unicom relied on 3G to make a comeback, forcing China Mobile to plan ahead for 4G; in this world, China Mobile relies on Zhiyu Telecom’s optimization and improvement of the TD-SCDMA standard to further expand its 2G The advantages accumulated by the times have brought China Unicom and China Telecom to the brink of bankruptcy.

This is the background of the FreeHuman worm incident.

When the FreeHuman worm did evil and bypassed the Spring and Autumn Security Manager's monitoring and uninstalled the Spring and Autumn Security Manager in the name of the user, the habitually stable 3G mobile network ecosystem suddenly got out of control. Without the constraints of the Spring and Autumn Security Butler, FreeHuman worm downloads large files unscrupulously; the "Never-Stop" credit call service that Xinbao cooperates with China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom has also been exploited by FreeHuman worm. , Accumulating thousands of dollars in debt.

Huaguo has not yet fully implemented the real-name system for mobile phones. If the phone bill is in arrears, users can completely throw away the card number and use the account. In order to reduce the rate of bad debts, operators have set arrears limits for different users. The FreeHuman worm traffic has exhausted the arrears limits, and the operators immediately stop the loss. All users who owe thousands of yuan or even more than 10,000 yuan are mostly because they trust the credit call service of Xinbao, and they have been drilled by the FreeHuman worm to read the content of short messages.

This bad debt is the bad debt of the credit line, in fact it was transferred to Xinbao by the operator.

In the final analysis, there is a fatal loophole in the Spring and Autumn Security Butler.

If the FreeHuman worm cannot delete Spring and Autumn Security Manager, the incident of huge arrears of traffic will never happen.

Wei Dongsheng is not a saint born to know, nor an omniscient and omnipotent God, limited by the constraints of his experience, he will also make mistakes. However, it does not matter if there is a mistake, who can guarantee that he will never make a mistake? If you know that you have made an idealistic mistake, you can correct it immediately. Zhiyu Technology announced the detailed processing plan. At the same time, Spring and Autumn Security Manager also ushered in an unprecedented major update: Starting today, zOS and hOS operating systems are mandatory to bundle Spring and Autumn Security Manager, and users are no longer allowed to uninstall freely.

Then again, the FreeHuman worm looks simple, but it is quite technical.

Spring and Autumn Security Manager has been in operation for several years, and the security team has accumulated rich experience in identifying user active deletion or rogue software deletion behavior. Since the launch of Spring and Autumn Security Manager, countless Trojan horses, virus and rogue software have tried to delete Spring and Autumn Security Manager, but they have been reversed by Spring and Autumn Security Manager.

The reason why the FreeHuman worm can bypass the Spring and Autumn Security Manager is that it exploits unknown vulnerabilities at the component level. As a qualified flash memory manufacturer has not been cultivated in China, the flash memory of Zhiyu Sapientia series uses Toshiba of Japan and Samsung of South Korea; the flash memory of Zhixing Stars series uses Samsung and Hynix of South Korea. The FreeHuman worm uses the loopholes or backdoors of flash memory products to break through the defense of the Spring and Autumn Security Butler.

The vulnerabilities or backdoors of flash memory products are very deeply hidden, and the Zhiyu mobile security team and the Spring and Autumn Security Butler team have not discovered. It was not until the outbreak of the FreeHuman worm virus that the matter was reported to Wei Dongsheng, who secretly started the computer intelligent life to reverse the analysis of the FreeHuman worm, and quickly sorted out the technical principles of the FreeHuman worm in just over ten minutes.

Wei Dongsheng is not sure whether the breach is an unintentional loophole or an intentional backdoor, but Wei Dongsheng is more willing to believe that this is a deliberate backdoor left by the manufacturer.

To be able to understand the flash backdoor better than Zhiyu, and to break through the joint defense line of the smartphone operating system and the Spring and Autumn Security Butler, the technical strength of the behind-the-scenes man must be very strong.

The second reason is Wei Dongsheng's vigilance on the future.

Thirty years of memory has clearly portrayed a future possibility for Wei Dongsheng, that is, the influence of the Internet on human society will become deeper and deeper, and eventually all humans will become a part of the Internet. The border of the Internet is the national territory of the new era, and Internet security is the national defense security of the new era. A country that loses the initiative of the Internet is bound to be as vulnerable as the Manchu and Qing dynasty facing the powerful ships and guns of the great powers.

Wei Dongsheng does not want the Spring and Autumn Department security team to slacken itself.

The FreeHuman worm incident is a shame, but now that the shame has occurred, the important thing is how to persuade the Spring and Autumn Department security team to know the shame and be brave.

All these, Wei Dongsheng resolutely decided to pay for users infected with the FreeHuman worm.

With the guarantee of Zhiyu Technology, and the users of Zhiyu and Zhixing are mostly eligible for compensation because they retain the Spring and Autumn Security Butler by default, the FreeHuman worm traffic arrears event was immediately controlled within a certain range.

With reference to past experience, users thought that they needed to pay for the FreeHuman worm incident in the early days, and they spontaneously spread the seemingly true or false tactics on social networking sites such as 4D Space. When the peak turned to hear that Zhiyu Technology and Zhixing Technology were willing to pay for users, everyone shouted long live, praising Zhiyu and Zhixing as the great companies that invented smart phones.

With Zhiyu Technology and Zhixing Technology paying the bill, users have become optimistic one after another. Even users who owed RMB 17,816 still complained about operators’ non-cooperation from the standpoint of the Spring and Autumn Period: "2009 is about to pass. Did the operators deliberately create the FreeHuman worm because they felt that their performance was not optimistic?" The 3G traffic charges are too harsh, and it cost me 17,816 yuan in less than a day from last night to tonight."

Some netizens helped calculate: "If the 3G network signal is good, the traffic per minute is 30 yuan, and the traffic per hour is 1800 yuan. If there is no traffic limit for 80,000 users, the average mobile phone runs for 6 hours of data per day. It sold 864 million yuan in traffic. I will go, the operator Zhentema makes money!"

Some netizens lamented the ferocity of the FreeHuman worm, some complained about the operator’s flow rate system, and some netizens attacked the operator’s monopoly profiteering. In all this, thanks to Zhiyu Technology's timely crisis public relations guarantee that users will not bear losses, Internet public opinion generally tolerates understanding of this FreeHuman worm incident, and no one blames Zhiyu Technology for what it is.

However, the FreeHuman worm was obviously deliberately done by certain organizations. How could they allow Spring and Autumn to resolve the incident in a few words?

A few hours later, Internet public opinion began to change.
