Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 133: Pit one under others

   The Tieba incident got worse and worse, and even the newspapers and TV media made a sensation.

"Online shopping, credit card stolen, loss of millions?!!!" ABC TV supporters questioned, "Isearch posted a post that went viral on the Internet recently, saying that when shopping online, credit cards were used to pay. As a result, the account and password were stolen and the loss was lost. Millions of dollars! The matter has not been confirmed whether it is true or not. However, Internet security problems have always existed. With the rapid development of the Internet, the development of Trojan horse viruses is in the ascendant, which is shocking!!! Investigation and statistical analysis, global computer viruses With the growth of 1,000 newly added each year, one can imagine how many viruses will be!!!"

   "Regardless of whether the Tieba incident is confirmed or not, I believe that things like credit card theft will happen again and again in the future!!! Here, we have to ask a question: Is online shopping really safe?"

   After the news commentary of ABC TV was broadcast, it caused a huge response in the United States.

  Countless people are discussing the safety of online shopping.

   For a while, people were afraid of online shopping!

   The winter of e-commerce seems to have come all of a sudden...

  Citi, Morgan and other banks don’t care, anyway, they don’t do e-commerce, they sit leisurely, drinking tea and watching jokes. One of the biggest losses is Nicholas Shopping Network!

   Post it up to the incident, it's just hype at first glance. Because Citi, Morgan and other banks have not received any news that one million dollars has been stolen. Since it is a hype, who is the main messenger behind the scenes? Obviously, there is no one else except the Nicholas Group, but it turned out to be shot in the foot! ! ! Citigroup and Morgan Bank couldn't help laughing proudly!

   It’s just that, not long after, news of frequent theft of credit cards came from all over the United States!

   The news is true, real people and real things, and there are so many in number, absolutely can’t be faked!

   As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused heated discussions in the United States!

   Citi, Morgan and other banks announced that they will temporarily close online credit card and online banking services!

   This action by banks such as Citigroup and Morgan confirmed the seriousness of the Trojan horse virus from the side. Netizens have great doubts about computer security issues!

   Nicholas CEO Geely Hutt hurried to Henry's office, and said in a panic: "Chairman, the daily active users of Nicholas Shopping Network have plummeted to below 10,000!!!"

   "Calm down..." Henry smiled slightly, "Go and prepare for a press conference!"

   "Then what am I going to say at the press conference?" Geely Hutt asked.

   "Hehe, the reason why users stop shopping is because they worry about the safety of their fund accounts! Then we let them not worry about it..." Henry chuckled.

   "Don't worry...?" Gilly Hutt showed a trace of doubt and began to think.

   Henry smiled and said lightly: "It's actually very simple. If a user gets a Trojan virus while using PayPal, then the Nicholas Group will bear all the losses!!!"

   "This... Chairman, in case..."

   Geely Hutt did not finish speaking, Henry interrupted him and said: "You have to trust our technicians!!!"

   "Well..." Seeing Henry's firm tone, Geely Hutt nodded in response, and then left and went to prepare for the press conference!

   Gilly Hutt was stopped by Henry just a few steps.

   "Wait..." Henry yelled to her, "When the press conference is held later, remember to focus on the PayPal security component. It is a good way to pit Citigroup and Morgan Bank!!!"

   Gilly Hutt heard the words, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, I understand!!!"

   "Hmm..." Henry nodded to him, signalling that Geely Hutt could leave.

   The PayPal security component is indeed an anti-virus software, but it has many vulnerabilities that are difficult to find. Some Trojan horse viruses or phishing websites can evade its detection. What really guarantees the security of PayPal is "Cloud Scan and Kill". That's right, PayPal uses cloud technology to kill viruses! ! !

   When Henry came up with this concept, Eugene Kabakis was stunned! ! ! ! !

   The past anti-virus method was to directly kill the virus locally on the user's computer, while the cloud scanning and killing proposed by Henry used the server to kill the virus in the background!

   Is a server comparable to a computer?

   The server has powerful computing power and a huge virus database. With the addition of powerful anti-virus engine technology, the ability to check and kill viruses is simply exploding! ! !

  The concept of cloud scanning and killing has simply subverted the current traditional concept of anti-virus and has epoch-making significance! ! !

   The PayPal security component is a shell, and the core is cloud scanning!

  If anyone copied the PayPal security component, it must be a tragedy in the end! ! !

   Later generations, why can't the virus become rampant? It's because Yunchao is too powerful! Online payment is safe and reliable, and account hacking is rarely seen again!

   Therefore, Henry is very confident. With 360 McAfee's technology and cloud scanning, what virus can escape his "eye-catching eyes" today! ! !

   Since Henry dared to speak up, Nicholas compensated for all the losses, he was naturally targeted, with strong self-confidence!

   On the other side, Geely Hutt quickly invited reporters to participate in the press conference of Nicholas Group.

At the meeting, Geely Hutt said loudly: "Welcome to the press conference of Nicholas Group. At present, a storm of bad news about e-commerce is sweeping across the United States, and online payment security has become the hottest topic of the moment! In response to this question, I would like to say to everyone on the spot and all Americans and netizens around the world that there is a virus on the Internet, but the anti-virus technology used by PayPal is stronger! Through comparison, we can find that so far, PayPal Users have never divulged their account numbers and passwords because of poisoning. However, Citi, Morgan and other bank credit card users have leaked their credit card information due to computer poisoning in more than 50 cases!!!"

   "Our PayPal security component is exclusively provided by 360 McAfee, the most powerful anti-virus company in the United States. It took four years to develop and has super-powerful anti-virus and anti-virus capabilities!!!"

   "In order to show our confidence in PayPal's security components and our responsibility to users. Nicholas Group Company solemnly announces that if data is leaked due to poisoning while using PayPal, Nicholas Group Company will compensate users for all losses!!!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar below, and there was a lot of discussion in the whole venue! ! !

   "Mr. Geely Hutt, may I ask, are you sure you are right, Nicholas Group will compensate users for all losses?!" The reporter raised his hand and asked.

Geely Hutt replied: "Please note that Nicholas Group will indeed compensate users for all losses, but the premise is that the use of PayPal poisoning leads to data leakage! If you write the account number and password of your credit card or bank card on paper, and then get someone else If you see it, then take away all your money. Hehe, then it has nothing to do with our Nicholas Group..." Speaking of later, Geely Hutt joked to the reporter...

  ……

  ……

   The next day, the headlines of major American newspapers were news conferences about the Nicholas Group of Companies.

   "The Nicholas Group promises to use PayPal to pay. If the poisoning causes the leakage of information and causes losses, the Nicholas Group will compensate all the losses!"

   "Use PayPal with confidence, Nicholas will fully protect you!"

   "Don't be afraid of poisoning, Nicholas will compensate anyway!"

   On the homepage of Nicholas Shopping Network, a huge red banner is hung in the most conspicuous place!

   "Shopping safely, shopping with confidence! Nicholas solemnly promises that if there is any loss, full compensation!!!"

   Internet users who like to shop saw the promise made by Nicholas Group, they were relieved at once and started shopping boldly!

   During this period, everyone was in a hurry, and all of a sudden, that guy... almost squeezed the server of Nicholas Shopping Network! ! !

   Three to four hundred thousand people flocked to Nicholas Shopping Network to shop on the same day!

   One family is happy to come, Wanjia is sorrowful.

  Other online shopping companies that imitated Nicholas Shopping.com all sighed. The severe situation almost reached the doorstep. In the end of the day, not many people visited the website at all...

   Although Citibank, Morgan Bank and other banks also have anti-virus software, they are not very effective. Many people are still poisoned! Especially phishing websites are hard to guard against. Antivirus software can't detect it! ! !

  Citi, the bank represented by Morgan discussed together, and finally someone suggested that since PayPal's security components are so powerful, we will copy them!

   As soon as the idea was put forward, it immediately won unanimous approval.

   Then, I found a company that makes anti-virus software and asked them to help copy the PayPal security components. At first glance, this company found that PayPal's security components are really good copycats. Except for a small part of the code that is encapsulated, most of the other source codes are open source and can be directly copied back for use! ! ! !

   After research, it is found that the code is well written~lightnovelpub.net~ has a good antivirus function.

   While scolding 360 McAfee for being stupid, he changed the software and prepared to use it directly! ! !

   Citi and Morgan Bank heard that the PayPal security component is actually open source software, and they laughed from ear to ear. They quickly ordered the anti-virus company to modify it.

   When Citi and Morgan were engaged in "conspiracy", the Nicholas Group was not idle either. PayPal began to send a large number of business personnel to discuss cooperation with small and medium-sized banks, uniting the majority and isolating the few! The big bank alliances headed by Citigroup, Morgan, etc. are very few...

  Online shopping is very attractive to people. At this time, PayPal is also engaged in activities. If small banks open online banking and cooperate with PayPal, they can improve the competitiveness of banks and attract depositors!

   Seeing that the business of Nicholas Shopping Network is becoming more and more popular, and the number of people shopping is increasing, PayPal has become an indispensable third-party payment system in online transactions!

   Many banks have cooperated with PayPal.

Citi, Morgan and other banking alliances immediately reacted to this situation and jointly held a press conference to announce: "The'Citi Morgan Online Shopping Security Tool' will soon be successfully developed. We also promise that users will use our security tools. Citigroup and Morgan Bank will also compensate all losses caused by the leakage of information due to poisoning!!!"

   When Henry received the news, he couldn't help but snap his fingers and praised, you are really awesome! ! ! (Now there are more words in a chapter, please support!
