Chapter 144: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

The venue was silent for five minutes, and the president of iDeface first came to his senses, he walked up to Sidney's side, "Mr. Sidney, this speech is ......", he wanted to ask if this speech should continue, there were 8,000 people waiting in the room.

Sidney was still looking at the exit of the venue, and he shook his head slightly, "The one who is most qualified to stand here and talk about virtual attacks is the Soft Alliance!

Sidney sighed and walked over to pack up his computer, looking like he was ready to go.

At this time, everyone in the venue reacted, and everyone was looking forward to Sidney's explanation of the principle of virtual attack, how could he just say that he could go! Even those who did not want Sidney to explain the principle were also a little anxious, because they might not be able to get the virtual attack detection tool provided by Sidney, which was very important to them, especially after watching Sidney's performance, their cold sweat never stopped.

"Mr. Sidney!" the president of iDeface stopped Sidney, "There are 8,000 people here waiting for your speech!"

"I'm sorry, I've been laughed at once, I don't want to be laughed at again!" Sidney glared at the president of iDeface and put his computer on it, "That girl just said yes, my words and deeds today are not worthy of being a nobleman, or even a hacker." If I have the chance, I will go to China, and I will apologize to the people of the Soft Alliance for my actions today, even if they refuse to accept it, I will do it!"

Sidney is a nobleman after all, calm down, good cultivation will come back, he finished speaking and left with his bag, leaving the president of iDeface on the stage.

The president of iDeface didn't know how to end, thought for a moment, and announced to the 8,000 people at the scene: "Everyone, the special training of this conference is over, thank you Mr. Sidney for bringing us such a wonderful performance." In the next two days, there will be some public meetings and summaries, and those who are interested can participate, thank you!", After speaking, the president of iDeface also left the venue.

Billed as the largest black hat conference ever, the best part of it ended in this way, and the next public meeting was open to the media, and it was all a painless topic, which did not interest these hackers on the scene at all.

Those Chinese media reporters waiting in Las Vegas learned about what happened at this afternoon's Black Hat Conference through various channels, and they used the fastest way to transmit the news back to China.

The next day, it was the day when the court announced the verdict, and the case that attracted such attention also made the Haicheng court very troubled, although the report submitted by the network supervisor was very beneficial to the soft alliance, but they did not dare to pronounce the verdict easily. The total market value of the more than 500 enterprises on the prosecution side has exceeded one trillion yuan, which is an absolutely influential force that cannot be underestimated, and since the case was accepted, pressure from all sides began to pour into the court, and once the result of the verdict is slightly worse, no matter which side is not satisfied, the consequences and impact are unimaginable.

The matter of the soft alliance's participation in the black hat conference also attracted the attention of the court, so the court decided to delay the announcement of the verdict after the result of the black hat conference was obtained, so that the court could make a slight adjustment to the result and wording of the verdict according to the result there, without affecting the fairness of the law, which can be described as painstaking.

Now that there is a result, the court has a backbone, and the final verdict is announced, and the court has decided to make it public to all the media.

The Haicheng Court has never been as lively as it is today, and the largest courtroom in the court, known as the largest in China, could not even accommodate the media reporters who came to cover the news, and those media who came late lined up from the courtroom door to the street outside the court.

However, as soon as the two sides of the lawsuit show up, the media that are lined up outside are the most stained, and they can surround the two sides as soon as possible.

"Now that the soft alliance has proved through the black hat conference that its technology is absolutely no problem and is world-class, what do you think about this?" the media surrounded the prosecution who was the first to appear.

"No comment!" The representatives of the most bullish prosecution in history have all serious faces!

"Please predict the outcome of the court's announcement, do you still think you will win the case?" the media were not willing to let them go.

"No comment!" The best delegates learned the words of the soft alliance this time, no matter what the problem, it is a sentence of "no comment!"

The media didn't get any valuable news, but they didn't want to just let it go, so they surrounded the best representatives.

"The representative of the soft alliance is here!"

I don't know who shouted, and the media, regardless of whether it was true or not, threw down those best representatives and ran to the outside.

It was still those people who came from the soft alliance, Liu Xiao, the person in charge of the business department, and the lawyer, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by reporters.

"Please make a prediction about today's verdict!" the media first asked the same question.

"It depends on the attitude of the court, and we believe that the court will make the most fair judgment!" said the head of the business department.

"At yesterday's Black Hat Conference, the representatives of the Soft Alliance made every effort to uphold the dignity of Chinese hackers, thwarted everyone's doubts, and proved to the world the strength of Chinese hackers, what do you think about this?"

The person in charge of the business department looked confused, "Is there such a thing?" I'm sorry, our representative has not contacted the company so far, and we will not know what the matter is until she returns." ”

"We heard that the representative of the soft alliance is a woman, can you provide some information about her?"

"I'm sorry, we can't call the shots on this, if she agrees to be interviewed when she comes back, then we'll take the initiative to contact you!" said the head of the business department smiled.

"Because of the doubts of all the hackers present, the representative of the soft alliance announced on the spot that he will never participate in the black hat conference in the future, what is the attitude of the soft alliance headquarters, will this black hat conference become the only one that Chinese hackers participated?"

"As I said, we don't know the specific situation at the headquarters, and we will have to wait for our representative to come back before we can give you an answer!" replied the head of the business department.

Liu Xiao suddenly slapped the person in charge of the business department, walked in front of the media, and said: "If she really said that, then the soft alliance will never participate in the black hat conference in the future!"

"Is this the last attitude of the soft alliance?" the media asked.

"Yes!" Liu Xiao nodded, "We fully trust our representatives, all her words and deeds represent the attitude of our soft alliance, there is no doubt about this!" Liu Xiao regretted it in his heart at this time, regretting that he should not have sent Shang Yue to participate in the black hat conference, his original intention was to let Shang Yue practice his courage, who would have thought that he would be involved in this matter! Everyone in the company knew how shy and weak Shang Yue was, and it took a lot of courage to force her to say such things, which showed how humiliated she was at that time, and how angry she was in her heart! At this point, Liu Xiao felt that he had to stand up for business!

The media are getting more and more around, and their focus today is not on the upcoming lawsuit, but on Shang Yue, at yesterday's black hat conference.

Seeing that the time for the trial was approaching, and the representatives of the Soft Alliance were still surrounded on the street outside the court, the court had to dispatch all the bailiffs, and it took a lot of effort to open up a way to escort the Soft Alliance into the courtroom.

In court, the two parties made their final statements, and after 20 minutes of collegial deliberation, the court pronounced the verdict: "The prosecution sued for hacking caused by the security factors of the soft alliance products, resulting in serious economic losses for its own party. Except for the three companies, the reasons for the prosecution's prosecution of more than 500 companies are not established; the prosecution claims that it has been hacked by the Soft Alliance for other reasons, and after investigation, the fact that the prosecution has been invaded does not constitute a causal connection with the evidence provided, and the evidence is insufficient, and the reason for the prosecution is not established; after investigation, Guanfu, Jinye, The reason for the invasion of the three enterprises of Juli does constitute a certain causal relationship with the products of the soft alliance, but it is not the main reason, the soft alliance should bear indirect responsibility, and the relevant compensation matters shall be carried out by the two parties to the litigation according to the specific negotiation of the original equipment purchase contract; the other more than 500 enterprises, the reasons for the complaint are not established, and their litigation claims are hereby dismissed; the defendant Softalliance Technology reported the case to the public security organ as soon as possible after the customer was attacked on a large scale, and the court will urge the public security organ to solve the case as soon as possible, and the prosecution can decide whether to file a new lawsuit with this court according to the results of the case in the future。 ”

When the judge announced the verdict, the media at the scene unanimously gave a standing ovation, and the matter has developed so far, almost everyone is inclined to let the soft alliance win the case, but this is by no means sympathetic to the weak, because the soft alliance has proved that there is absolutely no problem with its own technology and strength, and such a verdict is deserved. Everyone applauded this result, and also applauded the court's fair judgment, these media people know the pressure of the court best, the reason why this case can make a sensation in the whole country is because of the media hype!

"Is there anything else you have to say?" the judge looked at the parties below.

"We reserve the right to appeal!" The most bullish deputies were very unwilling, but they also had to express something.

On the side of the soft alliance, Liu Xiao stood up, "First of all, we thank the court for its fair judgment, thank you for returning the innocence of the soft alliance and the facts." Secondly, I would like to borrow the lens and pen of all the media present today to say a word to everyone who cares about this case, although this lawsuit, although the soft alliance has won, it has actually lost!"

The media at the scene were all stunned, why was this sentence so winding, everyone didn't understand the meaning of Liu Xiao's words.

"SoftAlliance wins the lawsuit, but loses security! SoftAlliance is a company engaged in network security, security is our foundation, in our customers, such a large-scale hacker attack occurred, as a security person, we are responsible. On the contrary, we feel very ashamed and guilty, because our security people did not do their jobs well, and we did not make the best security products and security solutions that caused such a big loss to customers. This is a lawsuit with no winners, and none of us want that to happen. But if our prosecution can learn a lesson from this lawsuit and do a good job of safety in the future, then I think they can be regarded as a winner even if they lose the lawsuit, and they win for safety. ”

Liu Xiao paused, looked at the most bullish representatives over there, and said: "Safety is a thing that can't be slapped in the face, and its realization depends on the unremitting efforts of security people and the attention of everyone." In the event of an accident, it is not only our safety company that suffers, but also those customers who suffer the most direct damage. Therefore, I sincerely ask you to join hands with us, and we will work together to prevent the same accident from happening again! I still say the same thing, as long as you agree, we will send our best data recovery experts to help you recover your data, and do our best to recover the customer's losses. All the damaged enterprises in this accident have been included in our free service objects of SoftAlliance, and we will provide you with free data recovery services for life!"

"Finally, I would like to thank the court again, the prosecution, and all the people and media who have followed this case!" Liu Xiao bowed to the court, the best representatives, and the media and stopped speaking!

"The court is closed now!" the judge ordered, and all the media rushed to the representatives of the soft alliance again.

Finally got rid of the media and escaped into the car, Liu Xiao kicked a little, and quickly turned on his mobile phone, it is estimated that many people will contact him at this time.

As soon as the phone was turned on, Zhang Xiaohua's phone came, "Ha, you kid spoke very beautifully in the court just now!"

Liu Xiao was surrounded by the media and sweated, and while he was cool, he laughed, "No way, who asked me to quarrel with you all day long, it's not beautiful!"

"I already knew you would definitely win!" Zhang Xiaohua giggled over there, "It's cool to think about winning five hundred with one, haha, why didn't five hundred people sue me, otherwise I would have had a good time!"

"Gotta stop!" Liu Xiao was immediately helpless, "This taste is not pleasant, your father has not paid attention to me for a month because of this!"

"You said that, I remembered, I have to go and report the news to my father, okay, I won't talk to you, I'll find you later!" Zhang Xiaohua hung up the phone after speaking, and went to Zhang Chunsheng to report the good news.

Soon, Huang Xing, Wei Gang, and Niu Pengen's calls all came, all of them came to say goodbye, although everyone sincerely hoped that the soft alliance could win, but to be honest, no one thought that the soft alliance could win so completely at the beginning!

When the car returned to the downstairs of the soft alliance, Boss Xiong was already standing there waiting.

Liu Xiao hurriedly got out of the car and walked over, "Brother Xiong, I'll just report to you in the past, why did you come here in person!"

Boss Xiong patted Liu Xiao on the shoulder, "I found that letting your kid take charge of the Soft Alliance was the biggest mistake in my life!"

"Huh?" Liu Xiao was immediately stunned, what does this mean!

"I should let you be the planning director of Chen Han!" "Boss Xiong laughed, "Hahaha, it's so condescending to let you be in the soft alliance, you kid is not only technical, but also first-class in terms of tricks, just do it casually, the popularity of the soft alliance will be played out, and now it is not only well-known in the country, but the whole world is afraid that the whole world will not dare to underestimate the soft alliance!"

"I'm scared to death!" Liu Xiao knew what Boss Xiong meant, and sighed: "Actually, I was also forced to this point, I have no choice, if there is any other choice, I will never choose to take this risky move." If I miss out at the Black Hat Conference, I really can't imagine what the consequences will be, I'm afraid I won't have the face to face you again. Having said that, if you hadn't gone to the court this time and let them arrange their time so well, they would definitely not have such a good effect!"

"Ahem!" Boss Xiong waved his hand, "No matter what the result, I won't blame you!

"Yes!" Liu Xiao smiled, "It can be said that I am full of ambition now! I am going to make various versions of the firewall product displayed at the Black Hat Conference, and then take advantage of this enthusiasm to promote it to the world in one fell swoop! In addition, I have a new plan, I am ready to launch a project of security coordination technology." ”

"Mr. Liu, what is this project for?" asked the person in charge of the business department who was standing aside.

"Hehe, that's right!" Liu Xiao explained to a few people present: "I made an analysis, the reason why the security level of these enterprises cannot go up is because they did not consider security at all when they were enterprises, and when they think of security, the operation mode of the enterprise has been fixed, and security can only be subordinated to the business system of the enterprise in the end." This has caused the inconsistency of the two, some are security to make way for the normal operation of the enterprise, some are the business system to accommodate security, and in the end, security is often unable to fulfill its security responsibilities, and the business system is clamped by the security system. The worst thing is that once the hacker breaks through the security system, the business system is completely exposed in front of the hacker, and the vast majority of those companies in this accident have caused losses because of this reason. ”

"Yes!" a few people present nodded and said: "That's true, if it is changed to our own system of the soft alliance, even if a hacker intrudes, then it is impossible for him to access our confidential information, our business system and security system are integrated, with strict authority distribution and multi-layer protection measures!"

"That's right!" Liu Xiao smiled, "So, our next step is to solve this problem and launch a technology that provides customers with solutions without changing the customer's existing business system and security system, combining the two together, or even more perfect." Once this plan is successful, then we can get rid of the existing operation model of all security companies, and our customer base will expand indefinitely, and even customers of other security companies will become our customers. With the lesson of Da Fei, Liu Xiao is talking about the problem now, and the first thing he throws out is the interests of the soft alliance.

Now those people began to get excited, "That's right, that's right, it's that others have already done it safely, we can do it again!"

"There is another benefit!" Liu Xiao looked at everyone, "We can proudly tell everyone that those security companies, including Huawei, design solutions according to the needs of customers, but our softalliance is one step ahead, and customers come to us not to buy security solutions, but to improve security solutions!"

Everyone was shocked by Liu Xiao's words, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Xiao asked Boss Xiong with a smile, "Brother Xiong, what do you think of this plan?"

Boss Xiong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where do I understand this, if you think it's good, do it, I fully support it!"

"Okay, let's discuss a plan for this matter after we go back, and pay attention to confidentiality!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he said to Boss Xiong: "Let's stop standing below, let's go up!"

"Don't go up!" Boss Xiong smiled, "I came to you, there are other things, so you almost forgot about it!"

"What's the matter?" asked Liu Xiao.

"I heard Zhang Chunsheng say that you are very good at chess, go, come to me, let's talk about things while playing chess!" Boss Xiong dragged Liu Xiao away, "Don't give me a ride for a while, take out all your skills!"

Liu Xiao was helpless, so he had to beckon those people to go back to the company first, and then turned around and smiled: "I haven't been here for more than half a year, I can't hold it even if I want to!"
