Shen Group Building.
Secretary Dong stood outside the CEO's office and straightened his collar. After I was mentally prepared, I knocked on the door.
"Come in."
There was a response from inside the house.
Secretary Dong pushed the door open and entered, only to see Shen Chen sitting behind the desk, with documents piled up on both sides. Facing the computer, fingers tap the keyboard non-stop.
"What's up."
"Well," Secretary Dong hesitated to speak, "Mr. Fang's project may also be suspended."
The sound of typing on the keyboard disappeared. Shen Chen raised his eyes and looked over: "The reason."
"It is said that the progress is too slow, and a new partner has been found..."
"..." Shen Chen withdrew his gaze, "Got it."
After reporting the matter, Secretary Dong withdrew.
Shen Chen looked at the unsent email, closed his eyes, and leaned back. Looking up, the light white ceiling came into view.
These days, he didn't take much rest. Xiao Tiantian seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he was nowhere to be found.
And there are some things going on in the company. Due to the backward progress in the early stage, many projects were aborted. He can only temporarily entrust the job of finding people to professionals and come back to work.
However, this is not a big deal. The foundation of the group is there, even if it suffers some turmoil, it will not have much impact.
But perhaps because of the successive bad things happening recently, Shen Chen felt more and more tired. Might have to see a doctor when this time is over.
continue.
He sat up straight again, intending to continue editing the email.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang. Just a few minutes after Secretary Dong left, he rushed back in a hurry.
"Boss Shen, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?" Shen Chen frowned, "Is it still a problem with the project? You don't need to report to me one by one..."
"No, there is a big problem!" Secretary Dong turned pale, "Someone has hacked the company's system, and confidential files are being transferred and downloaded!"
Hearing this, Shen Chen's expression also changed.
He subconsciously looked at his computer, only to find that the normal screen just now suddenly went black. In the pure black picture, stood a very artistic symbol.
"X?" He couldn't help but read out.
"Now the entire company's computers have this screen." Secretary Dong panicked, "Mr. Shen, what should we do?"
Below the white X is a progress bar showing the progress of the data transfer. It has just reached 1%. Then the next second, it became 1.14%.
Shen Chen looked at the progress bar and frowned in thought.
Secretary Dong didn't hear the response: "Mr. Shen..."
"Quiet!"
Seeing that she wanted to anger her boss, Secretary Dong quickly shut up.
Another minute passed, and the progress bar changed to 1.28%.
The transfer speed is not fast, only 0.14% per minute on average. To reach 100%, it takes about 1440 minutes, or 24 hours.
Shen Chen was not sure about the meaning of this progress bar. Maybe the data will be transmitted after 24 hours; or maybe it's just a prank to confuse the public.
But either way, they don't have more time.
"Little Dong."
Secretary Dong stood at attention: "Here!"
"Notify the security information department, disconnect the network, and patch the vulnerability as soon as possible."
"OK!"
"Also," Shen Chen paused, with the white characters on the black background reflected in his eyes, "Immediately call the police and find this X, who is it?"
It was nearly night. The Shen Group building was brightly lit, like daytime.
The InfoSec folks are working overtime to deal with this ticking time/bomb. However, after half an hour, a not optimistic conclusion was drawn.
Even if the network is disconnected, the transmission is still going on.
This virus is just for show, controlling the computers of the entire company, making them unable to control them.
Internal folders that store information show signs of being hacked.
Maybe the confidential information has already been stolen. This computer virus is only used to confuse the public.
Shortly thereafter, the text that appeared below the progress bar confirmed their guess.
[When the progress bar is full, the information will be uploaded to the cloud disk automatically.]
In other words, the internal secrets belonging to the Shen Group will be made public at that time.
For Shen, this will undoubtedly be a painful blow.
[Guest, something has happened recently. The restaurant is temporarily closed for a few days, and I will let you know when it opens. Don't make a trip in vain.]
Du You received a message from the head chef, and after replying OK, he looked up at Assistant Xiao.
"Virus?"
"Yes, I heard that all the computers were paralyzed overnight. The situation is not optimistic, and they are working overtime for maintenance."
Assistant Xiao heard some rumors, but he didn't know more details.
Hearing this, Du You was thoughtful.
The head chef wants to close the shop, is it because of this incident
Moreover, since it is an incident related to Shen Chen, the "virus" may also be a plot arranged by Xiao Tiantian.
However, Xiao Tiantian suddenly disappeared that night, and even the person he arranged to monitor was lost with him. It seems more difficult to start with myself.
Originally, he wanted to go to the chef's restaurant at noon today, but it seemed that he had to cancel it temporarily.
After Assistant Xiao stepped back, Du You took out his mobile phone and called the informant, who was quickly connected.
"Is it convenient now?"
"Yes, of course." The man paused, with a bit of annoyance in his tone, "Sorry, I haven't found any clues about that person yet."
"Let's put this matter aside." Du You said, "Can you help me to investigate the computer virus of Shen Group."
"receive."
As a professional team, we never ask why we do things.
What's more, Xiao Tiantian's affairs made them burnt out, and they just needed a new task to wash their eyes.
However, when they started to investigate, these professionals realized that they were wrong.
Because this person may be even more difficult than Xiao Tiantian.
Within a few minutes, Du You received a call from an informant.
"Sir, let me confirm with you. Do all computers infected with viruses display 'X'?"
Du You has never seen the main body, so he is not very clear: "What's wrong."
"If it's X, we may not be able to solve it with our ability." The man apologized and explained, "He is a terrible guy."
X, whose identity is unknown, is a notorious hacker who leaves the police baffled. Active abroad all year round, so it is relatively unfamiliar to Chinese people.
However, in their gray circle that is jumping on the edge of illegality, the name of "X" is very popular.
Although many people stay away from it, there are also many crazy admirers.
No one has ever seen X, and his real name is unknown. He acts strangely and unpredictable, and is keen on breaking through the security systems of various large companies.
Sometimes, he would kindly inform the company of system loopholes; sometimes he would disclose the loopholes he found to the public for no reason, attracting criminals to take advantage of them, causing heavy losses to the company.
It doesn't do him any good, the behavior is inexplicable.
"If it's other hackers, we might still have a solution. But X, it's really difficult."
"It's okay." Du You didn't insist, "Continue to follow Xiao Tiantian."
"Okay." There was silence for a while, "Sir, I suddenly remembered something. The ticket purchase information I captured before - that person's nickname, seems to be X."
He was talking about the time when Xiao Tiantian was about to go abroad.
A plane ticket to country A—according to unreliable gossip, it seems that X himself is also in that country.
The informant said: "We will deal with these two matters in parallel. If there is any new information, we will inform you in time."
This last intelligence contains a lot of information.
On the one hand, X has contact with Xiao Tiantian; on the other hand, he hacked the system of Shen Chen's company.
The identity can be roughly guessed, and there is a good chance that □□ is one of the small attack slices.
The bad thing is, this person seems to have a great affection for Xiao Tiantian just like Shen Chen.
Sure enough, the worry-free little attack slice like You Haoyu, won't there be a second one
Du You: "The system."
The system, which was drowsy from the hot air conditioner, shuddered: "Here!"
Because of being too excited, even the voice broke a syllable.
"?" Du You asked, "Are you asleep?"
"How come, always be alert." The system wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth calmly.
"Help me find out which world X is from, and his real name."
"Oh, yes!"
The system doesn't care about the identity of Xiaogong Slice, so it doesn't know who this person is just by listening to the code name. But as long as you give it information, it can search for it.
It patted its chest and promised: "Give me three days, and I will give you a perfect answer."
"Three hours."
"Huh?" The system was taken aback, "How can such a keyword be so fast. You have bargained too hard!"
"Three hours."
Just now, the informant also told him about Shen Chen's current company situation. That computer virus is probably just a decoration, in fact all the data has been transferred.
According to X's bad taste, making a progress bar may be just to increase the psychological pressure.
So, they don't have much time.
The system said before that the plot behind this is that Shen Chen went crazy after Xiao Tiantian disappeared.
If the company's incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back, it would be even more difficult to bring Shen Chen back.
Hearing the host repeating over and over again, the system had a mournful face: "I know." It hummed, "Host, if I die suddenly due to overheating, don't be sad."
"Do not worry."
"You should pay more attention to me."
The system searched depressedly.
Two hours later.
Before the search results came out, the informant made new progress.
"I found Xiao Tiantian, and I'll send you the location." The man paused, "However, it's a little strange."
It disappeared suddenly a few days ago, and there was no trace of it, and now it reappeared, as if they deliberately let them find it.
Du You was positioned as a coffee shop in the suburbs.
The system is still struggling to make a big move.
It is to put hope on an unreliable system and wait for news from X. Or put it on yourself.
Without hesitation, Du You called Assistant Xiao directly to send him there.
"Wait, wait! I'll get it done right away!" The system doesn't want the current host to come into contact with Xiaoshou, and always feels that something bad will happen.
But the host went fast. Get in the car and fasten your seat belt.
The system felt like its glass heart was broken.
"But the host, you have to find Xiaoshou directly, and what are you going to say."
However, Du You did not answer this question.
