As soon as Liu Xiao arrived at the door of the city government, Secretary Sun was already in a hurry there, and as soon as he saw Liu Xiao get out of the car, he stepped forward in a few steps, dragging Liu Xiao's arm, "Mr. Liu, you are here, hurry up, the mayor has been waiting for you for a while!"

Liu Xiao beckoned Victor to get out of the car, and at the same time paid the driver, "Don't look for it!", after speaking, he took Victor to the Municipal Party Committee Building behind Secretary Sun.

The driver pinched the whole money for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and secretly said that he was lucky, fortunately he resisted the impulse just now and didn't do it, otherwise it would be troublesome, and I don't know who this person is, it is such a big score, the mayor waited for him not to say anything, and sent the door Hou at the door of the municipal party committee.

"Harmony makes money! Harmony makes money!" The driver put away the money and warned himself that he must not be impulsive in the future, and he must be angry and make money.

In the conference room of the municipal party committee, the presidents of several banks couldn't sit still at this time, and practiced pacing in the conference room, but the pace was much faster than before, and they didn't have the usual idle demeanor. Mayor Feng can still sit still, but his expression is very serious, which makes the atmosphere in the conference room very cold, several bank presidents wipe cold sweat from time to time, a few days ago the mayor also told him to do a good job in network security, the mayor's voice is still in the beam, this accident came out, and it was a big accident, the bank's security experts couldn't find the crux of the problem at all, this is not to ask for their own lives. In order to climb to this position, the hair of these captains was bald, and if the boat capsized this time, this hair would have been gray before. They came to the city government in such a hurry, firstly, they wanted to redeem their responsibilities, and secondly, they wanted to move the rescuers, but the rescuers were nowhere to be found, and the mayor did not express his position.

"Bang bang!" came a knock on the door, and the mayor reflexively stood up, "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, and it was Secretary Sun's face, "Mayor, Mr. Liu is here!"

Mayor Feng's straight face couldn't help but relax a little, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, saw Liu Xiao come in, and said, "You can be regarded as coming, everyone is waiting for you, this time I have to ask you again!"

"Mayor Feng has seen the outside!" Liu Xiao said politely, "Now is not the time to divide each other, everyone shares honor and disgrace." Let me introduce to you, this is our soft alliance's financial system security expert - Victor. The presidents are not outsiders, so there is no need to be polite, let's talk about the specific situation first, so that Victor can find out the crux of the problem as soon as possible!"

Several presidents are really not outsiders, they visit the soft alliance almost every day, and the soft alliance has such a large amount of idle funds in their hands, who would not be greedy?

"It was we who first discovered the confusion in the transaction accounts, about forty-five minutes ago, and we immediately reported to the city, and the city notified several other banks, and everyone found out that their accounts were also in chaos, so they activated the emergency plan, suspended the service, and resumed the chaotic transaction accounts!" Fortunately, our bank has a very complete plan, and there are not many chaotic accounts, which can be completely recovered, but the problem is that we don't know what the cause of the confusion in the accounts is, and we start the service rashly, once the wrong account happens again, or even on a large scale, it will not be so easy to recover!"

The presidents of several other banks also nodded, "Yes, it is also for this reason that we have temporarily suspended the service!"

Liu Xiao translated the bank's words to Victor, and then Victor chattered for a while, and Liu Xiao said: "It's better to be more detailed, Victor wants to know, what are the accounts of the confusion, whether there is a transaction today, and whether the time when everyone has the confusion of the accounts!"

"Except for the commercial banks, the rest of us have the same incidents!" the president just now continued, "The accounts that are out of order are the accounts of today's transactions, and it is precisely because of this that we have decided to stop all transaction services!"

"So is there any confusion in the accounts where no transactions have taken place?" Liu Xiao asked again.

"It's been investigated, and this hasn't happened yet!" people from several banks nodded their heads.

Liu Xiao told Victor about these situations again, and Victor thought for a while, and then said: "The time is the same, which shows that the cause of the outbreak of the problem is in an intermediate link device that is related to all banks." The exception of commercial banks illustrates another scenario, where an adversary is likely to use more than one attack tactic. Let's assume that the adversary only uses one means of attack, then the exception of the commercial bank will tell us a very important message, that is, the commercial bank is not involved in this intermediate link, and its accounts are confused, which is likely to arise after he has a transaction with a bank that has already made a mistake. ”

When Liu Xiao heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Everyone think about it carefully, is there an intermediate link that everyone has to participate in except for commercial banks, or indirect equipment that everyone has to use?"

"We've thought of this a long time ago!" several presidents rushed to say, "Except for the commercial banks, the rest of these banks have joined the support of the global financial institution - Organization B, but we have tested this intermediate link, everything is normal, and going through the B link will not lead to confusion in the accounts!"

When Victor heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Did the commercial bank check its own accounts, and did the wrong transactions all have anything to do with other banks?"

Several presidents were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting it, so they all turned their attention to the presidents of commercial banks. The president of the commercial bank sweated out, and it seemed that he didn't check it, so he quickly took out his mobile phone, commanded, and then said: "There will be results soon, everyone wait a minute, this is really negligent!"

It was about two or three minutes after the incident, the phone call came back, and all the wrong accounts were caused by transactions with laymen, while there were no errors in the internal transactions of the commercial banks themselves.

Victor immediately laughed, "It seems that the crux of the problem has been found, that is, it is with B's device." ”

Several bank presidents were a little puzzled, "But we have tested it, and B's equipment is fine!"

"You must have closed the trading service after closing the closed test!" Victor didn't wait for the governors to finish speaking, and then said his conclusion, "The closed test can't meet the conditions set by the attacker, so there will be no trading errors!" Victor looked at Liu Xiao after speaking, "I already know where the problem is, I can solve this problem, this is the method of the Russian B organization, this matter has nothing to do with them!"

"Russian Organization B?" Liu Xiao was surprised, how could there be another Organization B, and this was completely unexpected by Liu Xiao, he thought that this matter definitely had something to do with the United States, but how could he not have imagined that it would be related to Russia, and this time Liu Xiao was completely blinded.

"This is completely different from the B organization that the bank president said, they are talking about the world financial organization B, while the B in Russia is the world's largest financial hacker group, which is professional!" Victor looked at Liu Xiao, "They are very professional, whoever gives money, they will do things for whom!"

Liu Xiao was relieved, it turned out that this was the case, Russia B suddenly made a difficulty, made such a big move, judging from the results, they could not get the slightest benefit, this is not in line with their professional style, someone must have hired them to do it, but who will it be? Liu Xiao thinks that it will not be 140, not to mention the strength of 140 itself, as far as their bullish style is concerned, they must disdain to let others take the lead for themselves. Liu Xiao was really a little confused at this time, and he couldn't guess who the perpetrator would be this time.

Several bank presidents saw that Liu Xiao fell into deep thought, and they were anxious, what is this serious, there is still time to be in a daze, since the problem has been found, then hurry up to solve it, if the banking business stagnates again, it is not only a question of how much money is lost, I am afraid that there will be people chasing after the wind and spreading rumors.

Several presidents were about to urge Liu Xiao, but Secretary Sun knocked on the door and came in, swept everyone, and finally fell on the mayor, "Mayor, the Wang Bureau of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is here, saying that there is an important situation!"

Mayor Feng was worried about the bank, and waved his hand, "Let him come here and say!"

Secretary Sun didn't have time to inform the Wang Bureau, and the Wang Bureau couldn't wait, so he broke in directly, "Mayor Feng, something is wrong, someone is using the Internet and text messages to spread rumors, saying that there are bank presidents in the city who have fled with money, inciting the people to run on the bank!"

"Smack!" Mayor Feng slapped the table and stood up, what he was most worried about was this, and now it really happened, "Immediately start the plan, mobilize all the media to refute the rumors, and at the same time, we must dig deep and find out the people who spread the rumors behind the scenes!"

"Yes!" Wang Ju came to ask for the mayor's attitude, and he didn't dare to delay at the moment, "I'll arrange it!"

"There must be no chaos!" Mayor Feng also advised: "In the face of the deceived masses, we must exercise restraint and try our best to explain and clear up. After Mayor Feng finished speaking, he pointed to the governors again, "You guys also hurry up and order, get ready!"

Several governors took out their mobile phones, conveyed their orders, mobilized a large amount of cash, and cashed out if they could, and strengthened their refutation of rumors and explanations.

Liu Xiao also came back to his senses at this time, his brows were tightened, this was completely an attack with a comprehensive plan, he had calculated everything, but he still didn't calculate that the other party would put the first stop of the attack on the bank, he underestimated the courage of the attacker, and he couldn't cope with the follow-up tricks after the attack, these are already beyond the scope of hacking methods, but without hacking methods, everything will be in vain, it seems that he will have to work hard in this regard in the future and consider things more comprehensively.

"Victor!" Liu Xiao stood up, "Without further ado, we'll go and solve the problem now, can we do it in half an hour?"

"Three minutes is enough!" Victor was confident, "provided I had access to the bank's network, a random outlet, or an ATM, ......."

Liu Xiao hurriedly interrupted him, let this kid continue to speak, he will definitely say that he can attack the bank from the ATM ATM, if this is heard by several bank presidents on the scene, afterwards either send someone to look at Victor, or send someone to take care of each ATM ATM, "Then hurry up, go to the nearest bank branch!", Liu Xiao dragged Victor from the chair.

"Opposite the city hall is a point of our line!" said one of the governors, "I'll take you there!"

Mayor Feng looked at Liu Xiao with a very serious expression, "I'll leave it to you, we must solve this problem, if there is really a run, and the bank does not open, then the consequences will be even more serious, anything can happen!"

These words made the hearts of everyone present sink.

After the mayor finished speaking, he frowned, and said to the bank president: "You send Liu Xiao over, make arrangements, and rush back immediately!" The mayor gritted his teeth, "I want to go to TV in person to refute the rumors, and the presidents of all the banks in the city, everyone will go to refute the rumors together, I see what moths these guys can release!"

Secretary Sun was the first to act, "I'll go and contact the TV station and arrange a car!"

****

Victor did what he said, and in less than three minutes, he solved the problem that all the bank security experts were helpless, and the bank tested all the transactions after opening them, and everything was normal.

Liu Xiao had to sigh at this time, "there is a specialization in the art industry", even if the emergence of hacking technology has not been long, but I have to admit that the development of hacking technology has a gradual division of labor and refinement trend, and it is becoming more and more obvious, no hacker can extend his ability to all corners of the network.

Victor was a little smug, "How? I said I could do it!"

Liu Xiao shrugged helplessly, this old man is good at everything, he just likes to brag about himself, and he doesn't have a door on his lips, this style may be okay in Russia, but sooner or later he will be K, "It can be seen that you are really very good at studying the financial system." Liu Xiao frowned and looked at Victor, "How much do you know about this B organization?"

"I know very well!" Victor patted his chest, "I was in their organization for three months......"

"Huh?" Liu Xiao looked at Victor in surprise.

Victor also realized that he had slipped his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and explained, "I'm undercover...... Undercover ......"

Liu Xiao smiled helplessly and waved his hand, "Let's talk about this organization first, I want to find out what their intention is to attack the Haicheng Bank network?"

"It's very simple, someone paid them to do it!" Victor's speculation was consistent with Liu Xiao's, "I know this organization very well, they actually rarely make a move, because the bank's network is not so easy to attack, and it is relatively closed, and B does not have many bank vulnerabilities in his hands, and an attack means that there will be one fewer vulnerabilities in their hands." So, if the price doesn't satisfy them, they won't sell, and someone must have spent a lot of money this time. ”

"Don't they take advantage of loopholes to make their own profits?" Liu Xiao asked.

Victor shook his head, "They are professional, they only work for the hirer. Besides, the banking system has developed to this day, and it is very difficult to seek violence from loopholes, and petty profits cannot satisfy them. ”

Liu Xiao nodded, it seems that B is really not the real attacker, the real attacker is those mercenaries, it is very likely that it is the United States, 140's behavior is really elusive, is it that with their strength, do they still need to let them charge for themselves?

Victor saw that Liu Xiao didn't speak, so he asked, "The problem has been solved, so when can I work in the Soft League?"

Liu Xiao said "ah", only to realize that he was in a hurry, and he actually forgot about this stubble, looking at Victor's eyes, Liu Xiao couldn't help laughing: "You can do it at any time, as long as you want, you can go now!"

Victor glanced at Liu Xiao with his eyebrows, "Does what you say count?

Liu Xiao laughed after hearing this, "Didn't you find someone to translate my business card for you after you arrived in China?", Liu Xiao shook his head with a smile, took out the business card from his pocket again, pointed to it and said: "China Soft Alliance Software Security Technology Company, President, Liu Xiao." ”

Victor showed an incredible expression, looked at Liu Xiao, and then looked at the black square words on the business card, obviously not connecting the two, "Are you really the president of the soft alliance?"

Liu Xiao patted Victor on the shoulder, "You are welcome to join the Soft Alliance, but I still have to remind you that after joining the Soft Alliance, you must put away your style of rivers and lakes, otherwise, you will be very troublesome!"

"Why?" Victor wondered, this was already the second reminder.

"As we all know, China has the largest group of hackers in the world!" Liu Xiao looked at Victor, "but what everyone doesn't know is that the number of hackers in China's prisons is also the largest in the world!"

Victor was taken aback, it turned out to be the case, no wonder China has the largest number of hackers in the world, but it has not been able to gain a place in the world's security community for a long time, until the rise of the soft alliance, the industry has changed its view. Victor shook his head and said, "I know, I will restrain my behavior, in fact, the reason why I joined B before was because I thought they would have more loopholes in the financial system, who knew that they were not as good as me, so I quit again." ”

Liu Xiao was stunned, is Victor also an undercover agent, this is obviously to steal secrets, Liu Xiao smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't talk about the past, let's talk about it in the future! I plan to set up a financial security project team in the soft alliance, which is responsible for the research and development of security products for the financial system, this project team is fully responsible for you, and the soft alliance will provide you with all the things you need, and the profits generated by the products in the future will be owned by you personally." You're still satisfied with this salary level, right?"

"Really?" Victor almost thought he had misheard, "Are you sure you're serious?"

"Now we can go back and sign the contract!" Liu Xiao smiled, he is a hacker himself, so he understands the psychology of hackers very well, Victor's ultimate efforts are all his efforts, and he is concentrating on studying the loopholes of the financial system, for what? If he just wants to make some black money from it, he will not come all the way to the soft alliance to try his luck, so Liu Xiao is willing to give Victor great authority to let him show his ambitions, of course, the soft alliance will not suffer, and in the future, the soft alliance will also recruit more professional geniuses like Victor.

Victor was so excited that he twisted his bamboo-like body frantically, he had talent, but he never had the opportunity to show it, it seemed that he had chosen the right place to come to China.

"Let's go, let's go!" Liu Xiao woke up Victor, "Back to the company, the first product of your project team is about the security patch of the intermediate link of Organization B, and I believe they are very willing to buy it." Liu Xiao dragged Victor out, "Your twenty percent profit is about to be put into your pocket!"

After only two steps, Victor had already surpassed Liu Xiao, and he dragged Liu Xiao forward, and Liu Xiao hung such a big carrot in front of him, which made Victor feel full of energy.

Ten hours after the Haicheng incident, the central bank issued an announcement announcing that it would maintain the systems of all banks in the country, and the time was set for the early hours of the morning to avoid unnecessary panic, and at the same time, the central bank also praised and affirmed the performance of Haicheng Bank in the face of the crisis.

The only task of the national banking system maintenance this time is to install the security patches developed by the financial security project team of the soft alliance and patch the loopholes in the intermediate protocol B. Victor never thought that on the second day after he came to the soft alliance, he would get such a huge amount of money, and he was full of enthusiasm for a while, and applied for more than ten projects from the soft alliance at one time, and it seemed that he was ready to make a lot of money.

But that's not the end of it, the central bank has sent a letter to organization B, pointing out that there are loopholes in their agreement, suggesting that they also use the security patch of the soft alliance, but they have not yet received a response from organization B, they say that they need time to investigate to confirm whether there is really a vulnerability in their agreement, and it seems that they are somewhat suspicious of China's move.

The run on Haicheng did not last long, and the city government spared no effort to publicize that all the banks would be cashed, and soon all the rumors were crushed, and after the run*, then there were deposits*, which was a toss anyway. Coupled with the detailed prevention plan of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the situation did not deteriorate, let alone any unexpected circumstances, and a storm subsided in just a few days.

However, this attack, it is not without any benefits, at least all the heads of ZF functional departments in Haicheng are aware of the horror of cyber attacks, if the previous hacker attack has no direct stake in them, then this time it is different, the banknotes they put in the bank were moved, is there anything more serious than this? A few days ago, they themselves were still urging their families to go to the bank to run, and even asked someone to go to the relationship to cut the queue to run, now think about it, if the situation can't be calmed down so quickly, the consequences are really terrible, the people of Haicheng can tear down the city government, it seems that the hacker attack is not as simple as they thought before, and the problem is not just the computer.

Now there is no need for the mayor to mobilize, and the heads of various departments run to the soft league every day, hoping to win the best security expert for their department, preferably a figure like Victor, who can make the difference in one fell swoop. In the past, the experts of the Soft Alliance faction used to be tired, and they were often looked at by them, but now it is different, in the past, it was the master, who was offered like a god, and what he said was the holy decree, which made everyone in the Soft Alliance compete to go to the ZF department to promote safety.

At this time, Donkin and Reilly were reporting to Strategic Commander Ponse.

"Based on the information I mentioned above, our tentative operation this time has completely failed!" Tang Jin finished his report and made the final conclusion, that is, failure, complete failure, "Not only did we test whether the soft alliance has a relationship with IND, and even the secondary purpose of cracking down on the soft alliance was not achieved, but the soft alliance made a lot of money, and their relationship with Haicheng ZF is now closer, and China's ZF has more trust in the soft alliance." This makes it even more difficult for us to act in the future, as long as China's ZF supports the soft alliance, we want to defeat the soft alliance, it will only be empty words. ”

Reilly was also furious, he never thought that the soft alliance would get everything done in such a quick time, he didn't expect it, because he didn't believe that the soft alliance would have such a strong strength, the soft alliance had never been involved in the banking field before, and it should be very blank in this regard, which is why Reilly chose to start from the banking system, he just wanted to make the soft alliance helpless, and then see if IND would help, but this result surprised everyone, "B is really a waste!" , Reilly had no choice but to vent all his grievances on B, and took so much money, but created this kind of tickling little trouble.

Ponse didn't expect this to be the case, "It seems that we all underestimated the Soft Alliance, their rise is by no means a word of luck that can be summed up, this is strength!"

"For today's plan, the only way to muddy the water is to muddy the water again!" Tang Jin had already come up with a plan, "It's not only hacking methods that will cause trouble to the Soft Alliance, but everything else can do the same!"

"I think it's only us who can do it ourselves!" Reilly doesn't believe in those so-called mercenaries anymore, "Although the soft alliance has solved the crisis, I don't think our temptation has completely failed, at least the matter has passed for several days, and IND has not had any follow-up, nor has it given us the slightest signal, with this, it is enough to show that the soft alliance and IND are not involved, we can completely take care of everything by ourselves!"

"More than 2,000 years ago, there was a military strategist in China, who said, 'Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" Panther sighed, "Even if the Soft Alliance really has nothing to do with the IND, our temptation still failed, because we did not test the true depth of the Soft Alliance, and it is a risk to make a rash move in this situation! No one can guarantee that the Soft Alliance will not be the second IND!"

Panther's words made Don King and Reilly also feel a pang in their hearts, yes, in case the soft alliance is really deep to this extent, they dare to argue with IND, where does this confidence come from. The two looked at Ponse and didn't speak, they didn't understand what Panther meant, could this be just the end of the matter, watching the soft alliance grow stronger, and let the soft alliance's products be equipped to their own imaginary hostile countries?

Ponser paced around the room twice, returned to the table and picked up his cigar, and said, "Don Jin, you follow your plan to muddy the water and cause trouble for the Soft Alliance in all aspects. Reilly, you arrange people, get ready to do it!"

The two of them were stunned, and they stood there without any reaction.

"If we lose our adventurous spirit because we are afraid of our opponents, we are not worthy of being soldiers!" Poncee looked at his two men, "I am willing to take a risk, I bet that there will never be a second IND in this world!", without knowing the details of the soft alliance, Ponse chose to take a gamble.

"Yes, General!" the two saluted and retired to carry out the order.

An anonymous letter was sent to the headquarters of Organization B. Soon, the letter was forwarded to the central bank's headquarters, and then to the central bank's Haicheng branch. The president of the branch personally took the letter and went to the soft alliance as quickly as possible and found Liu Xiao.

When Liu Xiao opened the letter, he couldn't help laughing, "Joke, saying that the culprit who attacked the Haicheng banking system is our soft alliance, it's really a big joke! Is this the result of the investigation by Organization B?"

"Organization B wants us to give them an explanation, otherwise it will terminate the cooperation with all the banks in China!" the branch president looked at Liu Xiao very seriously, "This is not a joke!"

"Thank you for allowing me to see this letter, and I am very grateful to the bank for their trust in our soft alliance. Liu Xiao let out a sigh, "You sit down for a while, I'll go and find an explanation for them now, I'm sure they will be very satisfied!"

After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he went out of the door, leaving the governor there in a daze, "Looking for an explanation?", fresh, really fresh, can this explanation also have a place to find it? If it can really be found, the president himself wants to know where this place is. The governor simply sat on the sofa and drank tea, he wanted to see how Liu Xiao could find an explanation.
