Chapter 766: A Bug

"It's not a computer virus or a hacker attack, it's their system that crashes. Our Oracle system is fine.

And, this is just the beginning, as the new millennium approaches, all computer systems will be in big trouble, and we have a complete solution. "

Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison, talking to the TV camera, not only hacked the opponent's system to the bottom, but also promoted his new toy by the way.

"Fuck, there seems to be a real problem."

"Yes, boss, our IT engineers have tested it, but the computer has no way to recognize it. Those automatic billing systems will give an incredible bill.

If you don't have enough time, boss, this is impossible to imagine. Securities, banks, bosses, this will be a global disaster. "

When Andy said this, sweat came down. Although there is still plenty of time, Nima, if no one finds out in advance...

"Andy, according to what you said, our server also has a big problem."

"Yes, boss, all calculations will be restored to their original state. Our financial staff may need to learn to use the abacus."

"Tsk, could it be that what happened to Citigroup was really just an accident. It's not such a coincidence."

At the same time, Damo was not the only one who fell into confusion. Greenspan is having a headache now, damn, what is this? If the banking system in the United States is paralyzed, it will be a big deal.

"Have you tested it?"

"Mr. Greenspan, we tested White Bank's system and they have no problem at all. Heck, what, they updated the system six months ago.

As for the firewall, they refuse. According to our IT staff, compared with our system. This is not a product of an era at all. "

"Of course it's from two eras. Now that it's all over, that oracle bone inscription should have soared into the sky."

"Yes, when we went, we ran into people from Bank of America and Bear Stearns.

The civilian part is not a big problem, and those computers for military use are more troublesome. NASA also issued a warning, and manned spaceflight was also suspended. "

The topic of millennium bug is more concentrated at the top. People don't care much about this. Besides, they didn't care what was said on TV.

The popularity of computers is actually very limited. As for getting exaggerated bills, that's even less of an issue. The big deal is not to pay, and there will always be a day when you will figure it out.

Of course, Oracle stock soared 13.5% immediately, and that had to be. First to propose, first to solve, tsk tsk, this company's technical strength is very strong.

If so, this guy William White is an asshole. Well, Larry Ellison, known as a Silicon Valley madman, is even less popular.

The mantra of this guy is, don't say it, what you say is wrong, forget about it. Now, you have to listen to me carefully.

"Larry, is it as exaggerated as you say?"

"Steve, you can't even imagine that the first time I saw this thing, I was almost scared to pee.

Banks are paralyzed, telecommunications networks are paralyzed, power grids are paralyzed, and nuclear power plants are out of control. Damn, this is the scene in the Terminator. "

Some people say that birds of a feather flock together, which is actually true. God Joe has the same bad temper, but has a good relationship with Larry Ellison. These two guys are absolutely different in Silicon Valley.

"So, you guys have been developing this thing for a while."

"This is natural. If it doesn't have too much impact, it would be best to announce it a few years later. However, my suggestion was rejected. William White believes that without two years, so many computers cannot be processed at all."

Actually, Larry Ellison overestimated William White's integrity. This so-called millennium bug will be noticed sooner or later. It is actually the most appropriate to use it to scare people now.

With the factor of Citigroup, this Nima is really cool.

Don't think that something will happen only in two thousand years. Invading the server to tamper with the date will have a similar effect. For banks, it is simply a matter of urgency.

In order to keep the bugs away, a group of big shots stood on end. They don't know what's going on with this computer. For them, it's just a typewriter and a computer.

"Damn it, who invented this thing, why is it 1 and 0. Are there still eight numbers for onlookers?"

Well, even if the technicians knew about the old guy's problem, they wouldn't dare to say it. As for those Wall Street elites in suits and ties, what they showed was just dazed.

"Ahem, old man, semiconductors are like this. At that time, it was an array of transistors. As for now, it's just a change of material.

I don't know what will happen in the future, and there will be no changes in the short term. "

"Paul, you're saying it's always been like this?"

"Yes, open is 1 and closed is 0. It has been like this since the day the computer was invented. You should be lucky if this happened in 99."

Paul Walker didn't continue to say, none of the people sitting here are fools. They are all vested interest groups, and how to maintain the stable development of this society is what they are most concerned about.

Indeed, things aren't too bad right now. Now that there is a solution, just pay for it. As long as it's a problem that money can solve, it's usually not a problem.

You Oracle can solve it, so can we. The only difference is that our speed will be a little slower.

Of course, the White system has shown off its technology, but it is also very amazing. There are indications that these bastards have known about it for a long time, but they just kept silent on purpose.

Similar to what William White thought, the first thing that can't sit still is the bank. Through this incident, they discovered that Oracle's software is very good, and the firewall is also very good.

Just look at Citigroup's firewall, it's useless. The funniest thing is that they even attacked the CIA server.

From this point, they can see that Citi's server has been hijacked at all.

Nima, this is really terrible. If the financial system is paralyzed on a large scale, life will not be able to survive.

As for who did it, ahem, this topic is too taboo. If you dare to talk nonsense, even those lawyers will put you in a dilemma.

The richest man is going to be a hacker, we don't bring such a joke, even if you go out and say that, someone needs to believe it.

In this world, there are indeed many hackers who like to do things everywhere. They don't care how many laws they break in order to show off their skills.

However, they had a hard time during this time. The FBI is looking for them, the consortium is looking for them.

In less than a month, those guys who have been famous for a long time basically disappeared. Even if a more powerful guy appeared, he would be included soon.

Seeing this situation, the FBI was also speechless. Citi also urged them to solve the case, Nima, it is difficult to find someone to take the blame now.

They wanted to figure this out, and the consortium wanted even more. These old guys figured it out, the most valuable things in their home were all in the computer.

And this thing, for some people, is simply defenseless.

It's better now, the system uses other people's database, and the firewall also uses other people's home. Whether this thing is reliable or not, of course they need to test it.
