It has been 15 days since the Lingyu Technology data loss incident shocked the domestic mobile gaming industry, but the earthquake in the industry has not yet completely subsided.
The perpetrator's behavior was extremely egregious and left no room for maneuver.
No matter how hard the staff of Lingyu Technology tried to rescue them, they could not recover the lost user information. According to estimates by industry insiders, the direct economic losses suffered by Lingyu Technology are as high as 1.4 billion Rm, and the indirect losses are even more difficult to estimate.
In any case, this brand that has been in business for several years and has a good reputation among players has been ruined. Even if Lingyu Technology tried to separate the game operation from the business and transform into the direction of main game development, it was still in vain.
There is no other reason. Whenever you see a game made by Lingyu Technology, no matter how good the game is, players will not buy it. If players don’t buy it, which operator would dare to take over
Data is lost when it is said to be lost. Even if you are a victim, why is it that other people's servers are not taken down but only yours? Can't you spend some money to improve the security of the server
In short, once the hat is slapped on the head, it can never be taken off again. Even Lingyu Technology’s long-term partner 361 Company maintains a cautious attitude towards the new games it produces.
This vicious Internet crime not only shocked the industry, but the aftermath even spread to other levels.
The angry netizens obviously made the matter a big deal. When the incident in the circle escalated into a social incident, the relevant departments had to respond.
Internet security is once again on the table.
First, "Renren Daily" gave a headline, severely criticizing the illegal behavior of ignoring the law and maliciously using hacking technology. At the same time, it stated that relevant departments were meeting to discuss improving the law...
At the same time, the investigation and arrest of criminals are also in full swing.
A task force composed of network security experts was quickly established.
The attacker's IP was quickly locked, and even after multiple layers of concealment, it still could not escape the tracking of professionals. No matter how clever a hacker is, as long as he has been here, he will definitely leave clues.
Zhang Hao. That is to say, Black Tiger was quickly arrested and brought to justice. Although he was confused and expressed ignorance, he still could not excuse his illegal behavior.
The computer used in the crime was seized from his bedroom, and all the stolen goods were recovered.
Zhang Hao, who had an earthy face, was in a panic and immediately decided to make a deal with Ling Zhongtian. Xie Lei's matter also came out. He insisted that this was a frame-up, and it must have been done by Xie Lei. He was the third-ranked bluebird in the Hacker Alliance, and only he had the strength to hack into Lingyu Technology's servers.
However, he couldn't produce any evidence.
It was discovered that the USB flash drive in the bookcase had disappeared. When the "criminal evidence" stored in the computer was gone, Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded.
Because Xie Lei has left the country, the reason is to take his sister to Germany for medical treatment. Although the source of the funds for his medical treatment is a mystery, it is not enough to constitute proof of crime. There was no change in funds in Xie Lei's personal account, but he had a confidential overseas account to purchase air tickets for him and pay for his medical expenses. Although this behavior seems somewhat mysterious, apparently mystery is not enough evidence.
After some evidence collection and investigation, the investigators did not find any connection between this case and Xie Lei, but they found a lot of interesting things.
A few days ago, Zhang Hao had an illegal transaction with Ling Zhongtian. Attacking the servers of Futureman Technology...
However, the commission was cancelled. It was Zhang Hao who took the initiative to apply for termination of the commission because the remuneration was too low. Of course, he had no memory of this. The reason is also very simple, because Xie Lei used his computer to log in to his account and canceled the commission.
The case has been concluded.
The perpetrator, Zhang Hao, had a "labor dispute" with Ling Zhongtian, the president of Lingyu Technology, and terminated his contract while harboring a grudge against him. Therefore, hacker technology was used to hack into Lingyu Technology's server and permanently destroy its user data, causing immeasurable huge economic losses to Lingyu Technology. In view of its bad social impact and the large amount of money involved. The court sentenced Zhang Hao to life imprisonment in the first instance.
Zhang Hao appealed, but the High Court directly rejected his appeal and upheld the original judgment.
As for Ling Zhongtian, although there was an illegal act, it was difficult to determine the seriousness of the case because it was an "attempt". So he was not punished.
However, the matter did not end there. The news that Ling Zhongtian hired hackers to attack the servers of Futureman Technology was quickly leaked to the Internet by "careful people". Ling Zhongtian's identity instantly changed from a victim to a villain who shot himself in the foot.
Netizens who originally sympathized with him and defended Lingyu Technology have also turned negative and joined a new round of verbal and written criticism against Lingyu Technology.
Of course, there are also a small number of voices who say that this is likely to be a conspiracy of Future People Technology, because they are the biggest beneficiaries of the collapse of Lingyu Technology, the veteran mobile game industry leader. However, these voices were quickly labeled as conspiracy theories and drowned in a sea of wars of words.
Will the strength of Futureman Technology still depend on discrediting its opponents? Are those garbage games from Lingyu Technology worthy of being compared with "New Era"
It’s very interesting. Those who stood up to defend the reputation of Futureman Technology were the fans who once supported Dota Epic. My name is aTm. As the saying goes, the deepest love is the deepest hatred. When they were completely disappointed with Lingyu Technology and tried "New Era" by Futureman Technology out of boredom, they instantly felt that the game they had originally stuck to was just a piece of shit.
As a result, Futureman Technology successfully took over the users who originally belonged to Lingyu Technology. The number of registered users exceeded 50 million in one fell swoop, and the estimated monthly revenue exceeded 400 million, setting two records in the history of mobile games.
Its dominance is unshakable.
The winner has been decided on the frontal battlefield, but the war has not stopped there.
Affected by successive scandals and plummeting performance, Lingyu Technology's stock price has fallen by the limit for 10 consecutive times, dominating the monthly decline list, becoming the worst listed company on the GEM after the stock market crash in June.
The total market value has been cut by nearly 70%, falling below 1.5 billion. In order to avoid hitting the liquidation warning line of equity pledges, Lingyu Technology had to add additional pledged assets and mortgaged the soon-to-be-completed Lingyu Technology Building to the bank at a value of 530 million yuan. This was able to stop the downward trend.
With profits interrupted and insolvency, it can be said that Lingyu Technology has been forced to the point of desperation.
However, at this moment, Futureman Technology began to take action.
Future Future Technology posted an announcement on its official website. Officially responded to public opinion, strongly condemned Ling Zhongtian, the largest shareholder of Lingyu Technology, for his illegal behavior against Futureman Technology, and submitted a lawyer's letter to Ling Zhongtian.
Futureman Technology is preparing to take Lingyu Technology to court? Whether the lawsuit can be won or not is no longer important to the prospects of Lingyu Technology. Investors can be said to be completely desperate.
The next day, Lingyu Technology was once again sealed at the lower limit. Four days later, Lingyu Technology closed with a market value of 980 million. In just four days, Lingyu Technology lost a building. In order not to hit the warning line of forced liquidation, Ling Zhongtian had to add additional pledged assets to the bank. This time the pressure is on his 33% equity.
He had to do this. If he did not add additional pledged assets, the company would declare bankruptcy due to forced liquidation. By then, he will not only lose everything, but will also bear a debt of no less than 300 million.
Because the Lingyu Technology Building, which cost 870 million and is about to be completed, was built by borrowing money from the bank. The research and promotion of new games has eaten up the vast majority of profits. However, at present, these investments have been wasted.
That lawyer's letter was like a declaration of war, it was just the beginning of the war.
At the same time that Lingyu Technology set a record for the largest monthly decline. Jiang Chen, the major shareholder of Futureman Technology, also began to increase its stake in Lingyu Technology in the secondary market, becoming the largest shareholder of Lingyu Technology with a shareholding ratio of 37%. Because he completed the increase in holdings without raising a sign, Jiang Chen was fined 60% by a regulatory commission for illegal transactions.
However, compared to the 390 million yuan in profits gained from shorting Lingyu Technology, this level of punishment is nothing more than drizzle to Jiang Chen.
At this point, Lingyu Technology completely changed hands.
... ...
The renovation of the Lingyu Technology Building has not yet been completed, but at the request of the new chairman, a conference room has been specially organized with a long table and a row of chairs.
Also at the request of the new chairman, a special board meeting was held here.
As for the identity of the chairman. Of course it was Jiang Chen.
Every shareholder's face is gloomy... Oh no, to be precise, except for the person sitting in the seat, everyone's face is gloomy.
Lean on the boss's chair. Jiang Chen glanced at the shareholders of Lingyu Technology present with a smile. Apart from the gray-haired Ling Zhongtian, he was surprised to see an acquaintance.
Sensing Jiang Chen's gaze, Zhang Jianfeng smiled at him in a friendly manner.
Why is he here
Jiang Chen still had some impressions of Zhang Jianfeng. As a representative of 361 Company, he once attended the negotiations with Futureman Technology. Although the final negotiations ended without any results, for this talent. Jiang Chen's evaluation is still very high.
Does 361 Company want to join in
Jiang Chen muttered something secretly in his heart, but his expression did not change at all. He still maintained a warm smile and spoke.
"Everyone, I think you should thank me."
Thank you for paralysis!
All the shareholders couldn't help but cursed in their hearts, but no one dared to say these words. As for why—
"Because if I hadn't increased my shareholding in your company and slowed down the decline of Lingyu Technology, all the stocks in your hands would have been turned into a piece of waste paper." Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile.
Ling Zhongtian looked over slowly, and his old face could no longer see the spirit of the past. He once aspired to become Steve Jobs in the mobile gaming industry, but at this moment, there was only a deep sense of weariness in his cloudy eyes.
"You are a swordsman, and I am a fish." His dry lips opened and closed, and he squeezed out such words full of hate.
"If I had known this today, why bother in the first place." Jiang Chen responded in a dignified manner.
Ling Zhongtian was speechless and said nothing more. He just stared at the documents on the desktop, as if he had fallen into dementia.
"Proposal for the Asset Reorganization of Lingyu Technology"
"Ahem, since our company has been doing very poorly recently, as the chairman, I think we should do something." After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at the people who were holding their breath, and a smile appeared on his face. However, what he said next caused the mood of all the shareholders present to fall to the bottom instantly.
"Yes, we urgently need to reorganize our assets... So first, I plan to sell the building-"
As for who to sell to, do you still need to ask
It’s just that the left hand is the right hand, it’s time for Futureman Technology to change its headquarters to a headquarters commensurate with its status. (.)
