Ventura.
At ten o'clock in the morning, "Iron Man" director Joss Whedon, actress Brigitte Fonda, Jeff Bridges, Natasha Henstridge and other main creators entered Eric's private room. At the airport, looking at the huge Boeing 747 passenger plane parked on the runway, even though private jets are just ordinary things to most people at the scene, everyone still couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Mr. Whedon, Miss Fonda, and everyone, please follow me," Mayer greeted them, and said to everyone: "We can go directly to the plane and take off in half an hour. Mr. Williams is talking with There is a video conference in New York, so I can't greet everyone, I'm sorry."
Naturally, everyone didn't care about these details, they all agreed and boarded the plane. Some staff members also took the initiative to help everyone carry their luggage. It will be a very long journey. The group will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo, then from Tokyo to London, and then return. It is basically a round-the-world trip.
If it was the past, even if the film company arranged the top first class, or even a special charter flight, everyone would inevitably complain. The days of trapeze people are definitely not good. But this time, everyone has strong expectations for this trip in their hearts.
The main creators of the film, plus the entourage of the Firefly Group, Brigitte Fonda and other assistants, etc., a team of more than 30 people, after all boarding arrangements were made, half an hour has passed, Mayer Er personally reconfirmed that everyone was present before notifying the crew that they could take off.
In the front of the cabin, in Eric's study.
Hearing the flight attendant's prompt, Eric and Chris said a few more words, then turned off the video call, and pulled out the seat belt next to the leather chair to fasten it. The card that was standing opposite Eric's desk Lorraine also sat on a single sofa next to her and put on her seat belt.
After a while, the plane started to turbulence when it took off. Eric looked at Caroline, who seemed a little nervous, and said with a smile, "Would you like to come and sit with me?"
Caroline blinked her eyes, blushed slightly, and said angrily, "No."
"Or should I sit over?"
"Eric, I will definitely tell my aunt when I come to London this time."
Hearing that Caroline started to make such harmless threats again, Eric cooperated with pretending to be scared: "Okay, I was wrong."
Chatting casually, before the plane had stabilized, Eric unbuckled his seat belt and said, "I'm going to say hello to everyone."
Caroline got up too and followed.
Although it does not refuse other people to board this private jet, this incident seems inevitable, but Eric still habitually keeps his own private space. In this respect, it is like the Shell Villa in Pointe Manor. Erik teased Eric in private, saying that he has a very primitive sense of territory in his bones, like a lion.
Therefore, except for the cockpit, which is not connected to the uppermost floor, the front quarter of the entire Boeing cabin is regarded as Eric's absolute private space. Except for Eric himself, everyone else can enter only with permission.
Leaving the front cabin, passing through the public living room connected to the door corridor, Eric and Caroline entered the middle section of the plane. Only the last section of the plane has a cockpit similar to that of an ordinary airliner, which is used to accommodate accompanying bodyguards and assistants, etc. Members, but the configuration is also more luxurious than the first-class cabin of an ordinary airliner, and other areas are basically not much different from a luxury apartment.
At this time, everyone gathered in the small bar in the middle to drink and chat. When they saw Eric appear, they got up one after another.
Eric greeted everyone one by one, sat down at the spacious bar, ordered a cocktail from the stewardess at the bar, and chatted with everyone about the upcoming itinerary and the promotional details of "Iron Man". In this way, it was not until we had lunch with everyone that everyone expressed the need to rest and dispersed one after another.
"New Line gave me a script. Although it is a heroine, it is a femme fatale. In fact, this is all your fault. Since "Basic Instinct", everyone has been keen on filming thrillers with femme fatales over the years. The agent was worried that I would be labeled as such, so he refused."
In the living room next to the restaurant, Natasha Henstridge's sexy and exquisite body is leaning on the sofa, looking at the man beside her with bright eyes, while talking about her recent affairs, one small hand is still in Erik's hand. Ke twisted and twisted the corners of the shirt on his shoulders, as if helping him to check if there was any place to open the thread.
Eric could clearly see a small thread on Natasha's bulging chest neckline, and wanted to check it for the girl, but Caroline always avoided him habitually. Getting along with other women, but after breaking through that relationship, Mayer will often do it.
Worried that the female assistant would break in at any time, Eric could only suppress this charming thought, and said: "It's okay to try other themes occasionally. However, your main focus should be on "Underworld". The heroine of the medium and low-cost action movie and the female supporting role of the big-budget movie, in fact, as long as "Underworld" is done well, you will not be short of work in the next ten years, and there will be no problem in making five or six consecutive movies in this series .”
"I know," Natasha noticed the man's eyes dangling in front of her chest, and glanced at him charmingly, but she obviously didn't understand why Eric was such a gentleman today, so she took the initiative to say: "Eri Ke, can I go ahead and have a look?"
Eric smiled and shook his head: "It's not very good now, it's still daytime."
With that said, there was a knock on the living room door.
Eric turned his head and looked over, feeling a little regretful in his heart. Obviously, he shouldn't have thought of the female assistant, so the female assistant appeared.
"Mary, what's the matter?"
"Eric, Mitnick is already online. He said that the encryption software you need has been sent, but it seems that there are other things."
Eric nodded: "I'll go right away."
Mayer agreed, and glanced coldly at Natasha Henstridge before turning away.
"Eric, your assistant has a real personality."
"Yeah," Eric reached out and touched Natasha's delicate face, and said, "Vases can't do this job."
"Are you saying I'm a vase?"
"The best kind."
Natasha turned her head to avoid Eric's hand, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "It doesn't look like a compliment at all."
Eric stood up with a smile and said, "Hey, let's talk later."
As he walked out of the living room, he found that Mayer was still standing in the corridor outside, looking down, pretending to read the document in his hand.
Eric stretched out his hand and patted the female assistant's buttocks wrapped in a rose-red professional suit, and then walked nonchalantly to the front cabin. Mayer was taken aback by the sudden attack. There were people in the surrounding room. She could only stare fiercely at the figure of the man in front of her, and then followed with a blushing face.
In the study room of the front cabin, the figure of Steve Mitnick, the chief technology officer of Yahoo, had already appeared on the video call screen, but he was busy with something while lowering his head. Eric appeared, stood up and planned to go out, Eric waved his hand, and then signaled Mayer, who came in, to sit down casually, and then said to Steve Mitnick in the video: "Steve, how are you?" ?”
Hearing Eric's voice, Steve Mitnick raised his head and said, "Eric, I have sent the encryption software you want to your mailbox. The operation method is very simple. Moreover, you can Set up a fake target file. After the encryption is completed, the encryption software, the target file and the fake target file will be integrated. Unless the correct password is entered, it cannot be separated, and the difficulty of cracking is also greatly increased. Moreover, I also set up a cracking trap, Even if a technical expert of my level participates in the cracking, it is easy to be led astray, and in the end, only false target files will be obtained, and the real files will be automatically deleted."
Eric sat behind the desk, checked his e-mail with satisfaction, and asked with a smile, "What about yourself?"
"I, of course I can," Steve Mitnick said without hesitation, "But don't worry, Eric, I won't do that. I'm a very principled person."
Eric said with contempt: "I remember you sneaked into my laptop back then."
"Only that one time, I promise," Steve Mitnick said: "And, I didn't pry into your boss's privacy at that time. What's more, as long as you physically isolate the encrypted files, I can't crack them out of thin air." What."
"Okay," Eric shrugged, and said, "Just now Mary said you have other things?"
"Yes," Steve Mitnick said, looked down at the laptop in front of him again, then raised his head and said, "Eric, I need to check the network system on your plane, it may take five minutes."
Eric was a little confused, so: "What?"
"Take it as a security check," Steve Mitnick said, typing a few times on his laptop casually.
Eric was still a little puzzled, but after a while, both the video call screen and the computer in front of him started to restart automatically, and this repeated for a while, just as Eric was a little worried about whether Steve's messing around would affect the plane's navigation When everything returned to normal, Steve Mitnick appeared on the video call screen again, only to look back at his laptop screen.
Seeing that nothing happened, Eric didn't say anything. After waiting patiently for a while, Steve Mitnick raised his head and said, "No problem, at least the network on your plane is safe and not monitored. However, Eric, I still recommend that you conduct a thorough anti-tapping inspection of the entire aircraft."
Eric smiled and said: "If Boeing is found to be eavesdropping on its customers, will they still do business if it gets out?"
Steve Mitnick shook his head and said, "Eric, there is no Air Force One in the capitals of many countries in the world. Do you know why?"
"Um?"
"Because whether they order the head of state plane from Boeing or Airbus, they often find that after delivery, it is simply an oversized bug, which is completely unusable. Therefore, the heads of state of these countries can only travel from their domestic civil aviation companies randomly. Companies calling commercial airliners."
"I'm not some head of state, I'm just a businessman."
"You are now receiving much more attention than the heads of state of many countries. It is completely worth many people getting all the news about you at all costs."
"I didn't expect you to compliment people?"
"And a little sympathy."
Eric shrugged helplessly: "Okay, so, what's going on?"
Steve Mitnick looked down again, typing on his laptop for a moment, then turned the screen over to face the camera.
Eric looked at a dense page of data on a simple black screen that was completely different from the Windows operating system, and said, "What is this?"
"The log file records all kinds of data and information about trying to 'access' the email system of the Firefly system during this period of time. Look at this paragraph," Steve Mitnick said, pulling down the file a bit, with even a hint of With a little admiration, he said: "The DDoS traffic attack of more than 60G per second is at no expense. If we hadn't adopted a multi-layer firewall system and our network bandwidth was sufficient, Yahoo's entire email system might have collapsed. And here, this is absolutely a genius, I notified the staff of the Seattle data center to shut down the server at the last minute, and the other party failed. Last Wednesday, the internal mailbox system of the firefly system was suspended for an hour, you should know ?”
"Mayer told me that I thought it was just an ordinary technical failure," Eric nodded, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and said, "So, what you mean is that someone launched another cyber attack on Yahoo! ?”
"No, to be precise, someone is launching a cyber attack on your personal communication system," Steve Mitnick said. "Actually, this has always been the case. It's just, you know, me, Those guys have never succeeded. However, the situation seems to be getting worse recently. Just in the last week, the number of attacks on the Firefly system's email system reached 37 times, which is more than the previous months combined. So, I think I still have to remind you, I dare not promise you that you will be safe now."
Eric couldn't help laughing: "You are such a proud guy, do you sometimes admit defeat?"
"There has never been an impenetrable firewall in this world, and I never said that I must be the smartest person in the world. At least, if Xia Xia grows up a bit, she will definitely be stronger than me."
"Okay, so, what now?"
"First of all, as I just said, you need to conduct a thorough anti-eavesdropping and anti-espionage inspection on everything around you, even the staff. Oh, Mary, Carly, I'm not referring to you."
Eric interrupted: "Talk about business."
"Uh, and, although I can keep an eye on the Firefly system email system as safe as possible, but the Firefly system employees are also easy to be targeted, especially your personal communication targets. Your e-mail information can be obtained indirectly. Therefore, the most important thing is that you should avoid sending sensitive information by e-mail as much as possible in the future. If possible, the entire Firefly system, it is best to perform a device and network update, and to Cyber security training for employees, of course, it costs a lot of money. Finally, cell phones and phone stuff, I'm not that good at it, but it's also very dangerous, and you have to get another technical expert to help."
