Two large departments, the CIA's Langley headquarters and the Pentagon, were attacked. Despite the gag order, the news leaked out.
Fortunately, because the matter of the Army Ant Group attracted most of the attention, and they downplayed it, the impact on public opinion was not great.
CIA conference room.
In order to find clues to this hacking attack, members of the CIA's CCI (Cyber Intelligence Center) and COG (Computer Network Action Group), as well as members of the Cyber Security Office, all gathered in the conference room.
"I didn't find any useful clues. The other party's methods are very clever, just like a ghost."
Dennis's confidence felt like it had never been hit before.
He has also been involved in a series of network denial-of-service attacks that shut down thousands of Internet websites, and even planned unauthorized access attacks on U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army computer systems.
After being caught by the CIA, he chose to join the CIA.
He considers himself a god-level computer expert, but in front of this mysterious hacker, he feels like a baby.
Their computer firewall monitoring does nothing.
The other side is more like carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
"We haven't found any here either." Morrison said with some reluctance: "We have investigated all the world's top hackers. We even asked a few of the white hat hackers for help, but we still haven't found them."
This feeling was the same as the first time he tracked the Joker Organization, feeling very powerless.
They all know the world's top hacker masters, including the rising stars who have emerged after the rise of smart viruses in recent years, and their complete information is even included in their CIA files.
But in their impression, no one's strength made him feel powerless.
The conference room fell into silence.
"Is it possible that it was done by teams from some Internet companies? Or was it done by the enemy's hacker army?" Mailon next to him said.
All the top CIA officials were in the conference room, and Myron was also present.
This is related to their face. If they don't find the hacker, they will be attacked for the third time, the seventh time, or even the eleventh time. If it goes on endlessly, all of them will be embarrassed to see others.
As a senior agent, he may not understand network security technology, but he can still provide some analysis and suggestions for solving crimes.
"The other party does not have to be a hacker. Think about it, besides hackers, what other top teams and national hacker corps in the world can bypass the monitoring of our smart firewall?"
"Russia and China." Morrison blurted out.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the focus was on him.
"All I can think of are these two countries. Needless to say, everyone knows Russia. Since Chen Mo's Chinese character programming language rewritten some basic rules of programming, China's programming technology has led the world. China's hackers are our only A group of people I don’t understand. China’s Hongke Army or the Chinese Alliance are possible.”
"I don't think it's the army of hackers. After the clown virus, smart viruses have become an important research object for network security teams in various countries. On the Internet, silent cyber wars have been going on, and the strengths of both sides are known to each other.
Their smart viruses may be able to invade ordinary companies, but they cannot bypass the smart firewall monitoring at our headquarters and invade our networks like ghosts. "
"Who is that? The Russians?"
"If there is someone who might invade us like a ghost, there should be a top team."
Dennis suddenly spoke, and everyone immediately looked at him.
"The fire ant laboratory of the army ant colony."
Fire ant lab
This name surprised the people on the field. They were all unfamiliar with this name.
"Fire Ant Lab is the intelligent network security laboratory under the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Marching Ant Group. This laboratory is called Fire Ant Lab by the hacker circle. The goal of their laboratory is to attack the Marching Ant Group at all costs. Intelligent network shield and firewall.
There is a legend in the hacker circle that if they find a vulnerability in the company's smart network shield and firewall, the team will be rewarded 10 million for one security vulnerability. If they find ten vulnerabilities, they will be rewarded 100 million. There is no upper limit.
Fire Ant Labs is regarded as the whetstone for sharpening the Intelligent Network Shield and Firewall of Army Ant Company. They have always been very low-key, and team members have not participated in the global hacking technology competition, but no one dares to underestimate their strength. "
Dennis told some of the things he had heard.
The technical team of the Marching Ant Group Research Institute are among the best in the world, but they are overshadowed by Chen Mo's powerful reputation. The other teams all look mediocre under Chen Mo's light.
If he could bypass the monitoring of their smart firewall like a ghost, the only thing he could think of was the army ant group that was an era ahead of the world.
"But they don't seem to have a reason to attack us, it doesn't do them any good," Dennis added.
This time the conference room was completely quiet.
Lina didn't speak from beginning to end. After listening to Dennis's guess, she was deep in thought.
reason
If the army ant group knew that the current troubles were caused by them, there would be ten thousand reasons to attack them.
"Dennis, Morrison, you write a report and hand it in, and just declare it to the outside world to be the work of Chinese hackers." Linna made a conclusion.
All the comments now are just speculation. They can't find anyone and have no evidence, but it's not important. They just need to give an explanation to the outside world.
"The meeting is over, Myron, come to my office." Linna stood up and left first.
Without clues, it would be in vain to continue talking.
As soon as she entered the office, Linna took a sip of water from the table, put the documents away, turned around and sat down.
"The day after tomorrow, you and I will go to Washington together and bring your plan to deal with the army ant group. Then, together with the report from the Cyber Security Office, we will show it to the president."
"the day after tomorrow?"
"has a problem?"
"Tuesday is my wife's birthday, can't it be postponed?"
"No, you should talk to your wife. This matter is more important. Let's wait until you get back to be romantic. In any case, the army ant group is a threat. Since there is a basis for inference, it doesn't matter whether it is an army ant group or not. It doesn't matter whether there is evidence. It’s not important. Anyway, we need a scapegoat, and we have to deal with him. Just blame this incident on them, and we can get more support."
They didn't know that the rightful owner was the one who was planning to put the blame this time, and Chen Mo, the rightful owner, was also paying attention to them.
"Brother Mo, Myron is going to Washington the day after tomorrow."
"Huh?" Chen Mo in the study said softly and looked up at Mo Nu: "Is the news accurate?"
"He talked to his wife on the phone and said he was on a business trip to Washington and couldn't go back to celebrate her birthday with her. He came back to make up for her."
"Who's going with him?"
"The entourage is unknown, he didn't say."
"How far is it from Washington to Langley? How long does it take?"
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, a holographic map appeared.
"The direct flight from Richmond to Dulles takes about 55 minutes by private plane, and 48 minutes by light plane. If you transfer, it will take at least three and a half hours. It takes about three hours by car. According to their travel habits, the direct flight by private plane is the most likely option. .”
"One hour is enough."
One hour was enough for him to do a lot of things. Chen Mo just thought about it for a moment.
"Determine their route, and if it's a plane, tell me."
These days, he has been asking Mo Nu to monitor Mailon's situation, including his relatives and friends, in order to determine his status.
How can he live a peaceful life with a group of thieves who are always thinking about him
There are all kinds of slanderous remarks about him. If you don't know the truth, I'm afraid people will be furious. If we want to completely end this farce, we must eradicate it from the source, otherwise it will continue endlessly.
Myron is one of the sources.
Now is your chance.
