Chapter 176: Spillover Effect

How could Fang Guokun not be surprised, he had investigated the relationship between Fengshen and Liu Xiao before, but he found no clues, but now Liu Xiao suddenly took out these things, could he not react, and began to wonder what Liu Xiao meant in his heart, whether this kid really had anything to do with Fengshen, or did this kid find out that he investigated the matter between him and Fengshen, and gave himself a knock on the mountain.

"It's nothing!" Fang Guokun calmed his mind, picked up the plate of documents, and did not open it, but said slowly: "I remember that the last time the customers of the soft alliance were besieged by hackers, at that time, there was also a person called Fengshen on the Internet who stood up and said that he would punish those evil organizations that attacked the customers of the soft alliance in the dark. Looks like you must be familiar with this wind god?"

Liu Xiao was taken aback at this time, if it weren't for Fang Guokun talking about it, he would have almost forgotten that he had once pretended to be the god of wind, but this can't be told to Fang Guokun, at the moment Liu Xiao shook his head again and again, "If I knew him, I would have thanked him in person, and he was the only one who stood up and said a fair word at that time!"

Fang Guokun looked at Liu Xiao and didn't notice any change in Liu Xiao's expression, so he opened the stack of documents with a smile, "So, is it this wind god who predicted that there would be a large-scale hacker attack in Estonia?"

"That's not it!" Liu Xiao stretched out his hand, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to an article: "Look at this, Fengshen summed up the time of every large-scale hacking incident in the past thirty years, and finally came to a conclusion that every three years or so, a large-scale hacking incident will break out in the world. ”

"Oh, is there anything else about this?" Fang Guokun was a little surprised, and quickly picked up the document and read it, and after reading the paper, he didn't speak for a long time, and sighed: "It's incredible, it's incredible, the hacker's attack behavior is really in line with this fluctuation." ”

"The first time I saw this paper, I also thought it was incredible!" Liu Xiao smiled, refilled some water into Fang Guokun's cup, and said: "This time the soft alliance can break through the blockade of Western security agencies, this paper has helped us a lot, in order to wait for this opportunity, the soft alliance has been preparing for a long time, plus the last time, we owe a total of two great favors to the wind god!"

Fang Guokun flipped through the paper again, and said strangely: "But this article doesn't say that hacker attacks will happen in Estonia!"

"If the wind god can even predict this, then he is really a god!" Liu Xiao laughed, "The things in Estonia were predicted by ourselves. ”

"Oh?" Fang Guokun put down the article, "Then how did you predict it?"

"Analyze!" Liu Xiao raised his eyes to look at Fang Guokun and said with a smile: "Didn't I say it just now, our soft alliance has been preparing for this for a long time, we have been paying close attention to every move in ***, and we must seriously analyze any information." More than half a month ago, we finally found some clues, there is a mysterious organization in the large-scale acquisition of botnets, the price is very high, their lease period, just around the nineth, so we judge that there will definitely be a large-scale hacking attack on the ninth day. ”

"Then how do you know it's going to be in Estonia?" Fang Guokun asked, which was the focus of his concern.

"Estonia has always been a place that hackers like to visit, we collected information in some forums and chat rooms frequented by hackers, and found that someone intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the ninth would do a big thing on this day, and mentioned Estonia!" Liu Xiao laughed, "The time is completely the same, so we estimate that the target of the hacker attack will be Estonia." In fact, this is also a kind of gambling, before I went to Estonia, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, in case of a mistake in judgment, all the efforts we had made before would be in vain, and if we waited for the opportunity, it would take another three years. ”

Fang Guokun finally solved the mystery that puzzled him for several days, it turned out that this is how the soft alliance made the prediction, seeing that Liu Xiao said it clearly, he should have told the truth. Fang Guokun picked up the stack of documents again, he really didn't expect that Liu Xiao, the general basis for all their judgments and actions, would be a post that someone casually published on the Internet, and the person who posted it was ridiculed as mentally ill, I am afraid that only Liu Xiao dared to do this, he believed that he thought it was right, and actively prepared for his own judgment. In contrast, those forecasting experts in his own intelligence agency say all day long that this is unpredictable, that is unpredictable, and their own predictions are always right, while other people's predictions always lack scientific basis, but why can Liu Xiao predict what those experts think cannot be predicted based on the words of a psychopath, what is science and what is prediction?

Fang Guokun finally found something new here in Liu Xiao today, something that made him feel sublimated. The so-called prediction is a speculation on the future on the basis of existing information, if there is really a method of prediction that allows you to make 100% correct judgments, then it is no longer a prediction, but a matter of 1+1=2, which is a kind of common sense and a scientific law.

Liu Xiao's prediction of unpredictable hacking events is all based on the belief in his mind that "a big hacking incident will definitely happen this year", and what really made him successful was actually his careful preparation in the early stage, the information he collected, and his accurate judgment and analysis ability.

This made Fang Guokun suddenly have a new idea for his future prediction work, if he can always have a concept of 'something big will happen tomorrow', and then actively collect and analyze every subtle clue, then prediction will not be a difficult thing.

"What do you want?" Liu Xiao saw that Fang Guokun didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, and then muttered in his heart, it couldn't be that Fang Guokun didn't believe his explanation.

"It's nothing!" Fang Guokun shook his head with a smile, "I am deeply inspired by what you said today! Do you have any other views or predictions about the incident in Estonia this time?

"This thing will definitely not end so quickly, according to Fengshen's theory, any large-scale hacking incident, he will not subside so quickly, and it will take him some time to digest the impact of the attack. I think there will continue to be attacks on the Estonian side, but the scale will definitely not be as big as the nineth, but ......" Liu Xiao suddenly paused, and then said in a deep voice: "The scope of the attack will increase." ”

"How big will it be?" Fang Guokun asked.

"I can't say for sure!" Liu Xiao shook his head, "But the most likely to be affected, I think it's our soft alliance, and you have to pay a price if you want to be famous, hehe." Liu Xiao smiled helplessly.

"Do you think those hackers who launched the attack will be angry with the soft alliance because you provided the firewall to Estonia?" Fang Guokun asked, this is really possible.

"Be prepared!" Liu Xiao stood up, "Before I went to Estonia, I had already strengthened all the networks of the soft alliance, and there were people guarding them 24 hours a day, and I also notified all our customers that they must make sure to back up their data in the recent period to prevent hacking incidents." The Soft Alliance has been attacked many times in the past six months, and has accumulated a lot of experience in this area, even if they want to attack us again, it is not so easy. Liu Xiao frowned after speaking, "What worries me the most is Haicheng's network, if it really affects us, the first thing to be tested is the load capacity of Haicheng's network." ”

Fang Guokun was suddenly moved, this Liu Xiao is too powerful, when he took the first step, he had already thought of what would happen after three steps, no wonder he was able to make the Soft Alliance famous in half a year.

"This morning, I have sent the company's risk experts to the network monitoring to remind them to strengthen prevention and monitoring recently, and relevant risk warnings, and then we will release them through the website and software platform!" Liu Xiao sighed, "I hope these are redundant!"

Fang Guokun sighed, after the Estonian incident, how many domestic media are paying attention, how many experts are studying and analyzing, it seems that they care more than anyone else, and know more than anyone else, but no one would have thought that what happened in Estonia would also affect themselves, they were just watching the excitement of others, only Liu Xiao was seriously thinking about the cause and effect of the matter. Coming here today, Fang Guokun originally just wanted to figure out how Liu Xiao predicted things, but now he asked Liu Xiao to teach him a good lesson, Fang Guokun was a little happy, but also a little regretful, happy that Liu Xiao really has the potential of a genius, and it is a pity that he will never be friends with this genius, because his job is to monitor these geniuses, and geniuses hate being monitored, but geniuses' thoughts often determine the direction of the world.

"I'll notify the relevant responsible persons of Haicheng to take precautions when I go back, don't worry!" Fang Guokun smiled, "Even if they really come, it will only be a ripple, and the energy will not be greater than the Estonian incident, as long as the precautions are taken, I think Haicheng will still be able to deal with it." ”

"That's good!" Liu Xiao's brows finally relaxed, "It's up to you to inform them, I think they will definitely pay attention!"

"Oh, that's right!" Fang Guokun remembered something, "Last time I got the professional version of the software back from you, we tested it, and the security was quite high, on the sieve system, we found a way to evade detection, but after patching, we were powerless." Fang Guokun took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Xiao, "This is the test report promised to you, and now I will hand it over to you!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Xiao was very happy, took it and flipped it quickly, turned around and put it on his desk, "It seems that our software can improve security a little more!"

"I also forwarded this report to some other departments, many of our key networks, we are in great need of your high-performance security products, I believe they will be interested in your products after reading it!"

"Thank you so much!" Liu Xiao went over and gave Fang Guokun more water, "You have done us a great favor!"

"You're welcome!" Fang Guokun said politely, "It is one of my responsibilities to recommend the best security products to them. Besides, I have something I want you to say yes to!"

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

Fang Guokun picked up the "Fengshen Essay Collection" on the table and patted it, "I want to take this thing away!"

"Ahem......" Liu Xiao sweated, "If you want to see it, just take it, what are you doing so politely, this is not a valuable thing, you can search for it on the Internet!"

"Okay, then I'm welcome!" Fang Guokun smiled and put the document into his briefcase, and then stood up, "Okay, then I won't bother you, take my leave!", as he spoke, he suddenly saluted Liu Xiao.

This was the first time he had made such a move, but Liu Xiao was startled, he didn't understand what Fang Guokun meant for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Fang Guokun had already turned around and walked towards the door, Liu Xiao hurriedly said: "I'll send you!"

Liu Xiao only sent Fang Guokun into the elevator, because Fang Guokun insisted on not letting Liu Xiao continue to send it, Liu Xiao had no choice but to give up, turned around and walked towards the company again, as soon as his feet entered the door of the company, he suddenly felt that something was not right, took a few steps back, carefully looked at the reception MM, and asked, "What's wrong, unhappy?"

"I have an opinion!" MM looked angry, and his nose wrinkled.

"Then what do you think!" Liu Xiao looked at her with a smile.

"Why did everyone in the company give bonuses, but I didn't?" MM looked at Liu Xiao's eyes and wanted to bite, "Am I not an employee of SoftAlliance?"

"Didn't send it to you?" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled, no, the finance department even issued a card to himself in the morning, saying that it was a bonus, and it should be available to everyone in the company.

"Look at my face!" MM immediately put her face in front of Liu Xiao's eyelids, and said, "Do you think this is the face with a bonus?"

Liu Xiao stepped back, looked left and right, shook his head and said, "It's really not like it!", he laughed after speaking, he felt that MM's current expression was too funny and cute!

"Make you laugh!" MM stretched out his hand to grab Liu Xiao, but let Liu Xiao dodge it, and said: "The people in the company are all sitting, just I poke here like a telephone pole all day long, I have to laugh when I see people, I do all the work of serving tea and water, sweeping the floor and running errands, why is there no me when the bonus is paid, this is not fair!" MM looked at Liu Xiao angrily, with a look of indignation.

"Don't be angry!" Liu Xiao still smiled, hiding a few steps away, afraid that MM would catch him, and said: "Who said not to send it to you?

"Really?" MM immediately turned sad into joy, "I'll go see it now, if not, see how I clean you up!", after speaking, he jumped to Liu Xiao's office.

Liu Xiao wiped the sweat on his face, it seems that the company's reward system is not perfect, how can the bonus be forgotten about the reception, although the reception does not belong to the software group or the hardware group, but it is also a part of the company, should share the benefits of the company's development, it seems that it is necessary to remind personnel and finance, so that they must include all members of the company in the scope of the reward system in the future.

"That's good, my own bonus is going to be in it!" Liu Xiao grabbed his cheek helplessly, he could go to the finance for the reception MM to get back the bonus he should get, but he was afraid that the reception MM would think too much, and it would be like asking for a handout, so he made up a lie.

"Forget it, the wealth is going to make people happy!" Liu Xiao had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw MM holding a card in his hand and trotting all the way back, "Ya!", MM proudly lifted the card, and then looked at Liu Xiao, "In the future, you are not allowed to intercept my card without permission, it makes me sad for a long time!"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Xiao nodded again and again, "My fault, my fault!" After speaking, Lian Lian reluctantly glanced at the card that should have belonged to him and walked into the company.
