Two days later, they announced that all of F's critical networks would use security products developed by one of their own companies.

However, this statement of the Ministry of Defense is obviously difficult for everyone to accept, and many people in Congress have questioned this statement, because most countries are now using strategic-level products, and no one has questioned strategic-level security, and they do not know which one the Ministry of Defense is singing. Several members of the Congress, and FSK have a very good relationship in private, they learned from FSK what happened, although they don't care about Liu Xiao's life or death, but they are very clear about FSK's power, now FSK is saying that they can't take the soft alliance, and the Ministry of Intelligence may not be able to deal with the soft alliance, I'm afraid that it will be a stealing chicken and not a bad rice when the time comes, so these people are resolutely opposed, and ask the Ministry of Defense to come up with a convincing evidence, it is best to point out where the security flaws of strategic-level products are。

At the same time, the talent recruitment plan of the soft alliance has also been officially launched, and the super generous treatment and development platform are not lost to those internationally renowned super enterprises.

The most fierce reaction is Yinfeng and other enterprises with traditional advantages, the ambition of the soft alliance is already obvious, they are no longer satisfied with tossing in the field of security, they are ready to enter the full force. You can't say that everyone is a mother when they have milk, but everyone has to support their families, and they have to eat, so they will move wherever they are given more salaries and benefits. Now the conditions offered by the soft alliance are absolutely international standards, these companies are not as profitable as the soft alliance, so it is impossible to offer this price, if they give everyone a salary increase, then they can only wait to close the door, but if they don't rise, they have to watch the loss of the best talent.

At this time, these companies are eager to demolish the house of the soft alliance, the equipment is smashed, before the soft alliance launched a personal strategic security platform for free, it is aimed at the first throne in the field of personal security in China, at that time they were glad that they were not engaged in security, who knew that this stable day did not pass two days, the soft alliance rushed to kill themselves, a mountain obviously can not satisfy their appetite.

Some people are sad, some people will rejoice, and the soft alliance uses the Internet, telephone, After the newspaper launched a recruitment plan, the soft alliance just in the Tianjing Building purchased the office area outside the queue, come to apply for an endless stream, the soft alliance of the personnel department simply moved here to work, the initial examination by the personnel department is responsible, the re-examination is Liu Xiao personally checked, he wants to select the best talents, this is not only because the soft alliance needs diversified development, but also his multi-echelon defense system needs a variety of talents, only by the network of talents can not be done, software, hardware, electronics, communications, Information processing is also used by people in the field of overall planning and engineering.

Niu Pengen, who also works in Tianjing Building, has to come over many times a day, and every time he comes, he sees so many people applying, so he smacks his lips, "Liu Xiao, this kid, this time it's really powerful! Not bad, not bad!", after speaking, he didn't go in, turned around and went back to his company, but after a while, he came over again, still the same sentence.

At the regular meeting of the intelligence department of country F, when the meeting was about to end, the person in charge suddenly remembered the matter of the soft alliance, and asked casually, "Langdon, how are you doing with the matter of strategic products?"

Langdon cleared his throat, "Their rules are too complicated, and our people haven't made much progress yet, just familiarize themselves with the rules first." ”

The person in charge frowned, when does this have to go, "What's going on over there in the soft alliance?"

Langdon shook his head, "We have notified various departments to let them strengthen their precautions recently, and there have been no abnormal problems so far!", Langdon looked at his watch, "It's already night in Haicheng, it seems that today is safe again! ”

The person in charge still frowned, he was afraid of delaying it now, and if it dragged on for a long time, he would forget this shame, but he was really unwilling to give up like this, the face of the Ministry of Intelligence was completely lost this time, and the failed reporter's Q&A meeting made the Ministry of Intelligence a joke for everyone, and it also made the intelligence departments of other countries keep an eye on their every move, this is simply a great shame, no matter what, I have to let that Liu Xiao taste it, "This matter still has to be grasped, and it can't be delayed!"

"Yes, General!" Langdon responded.

"Okay, adjourn the meeting!" the person in charge stood up, "Let's all go to work!", and after speaking, the person in charge took the lead in stepping out of the conference room.

Langdon packed up his things, also left the conference room, entered his office, and after sitting down for a while, the phone rang, "I'm Langdon!"

"General, the network administrator of the ZF spokesman's office just called, and the website of the ZF office was hacked, and the homepage was replaced and blacked out, with eight Chinese characters, 'Tooth for tooth, poison for poison'!" The person over there paused slightly, "The people from the ZF spokesperson's office want you to judge whether this matter has anything to do with the soft alliance!"

"What?" Langdon was a little surprised, "Attacking the website?", this is not like Liu Xiao's style, he does everything with one hit, and the website is hacked from time to time, at most it is just a loss of face, it is not a fatal blow. Langdon thought for a while and said, "You first inform them to immediately find an expert to analyze the data packet and see how the other party came in, this is not like the style of the soft alliance!"

"Yes, General!" he replied and hung up the phone.

Langdon put down the phone, pinched his forehead, "Tooth for tooth, poison for poison", what the hell is going on, the target of the attack is the website of the ZF spokesman's office, could it be that other ZF departments have offended which Chinese hacker again? Langdon couldn't sit still, got up and walked out of the office, and came to the data control center of the Ministry of Intelligence.

"Are there any reports of ZF websites being hacked!" Langdon asked.

"Here, General!" an intelligence officer stood up and reported.

"Bring up the screenshot of the hacked website and I'll take a look!" Langdon walked over to the intelligence officer's computer.

"This is it, it's the website of the ZF Spokesman's Office, and it's now restored!" said the intelligence officer.

Langdon nodded, this is the right number, this is what I want to see, the hacked picture is very simple, the page is all black, and the eight bright red characters in the middle are the "tooth for tooth, poison for poison" in the report just now. Langdon looked closely, and really didn't see anything, so he asked, "What clues did the hackers leave behind, or did they mark it?"

The intelligence officer shook his head, "At present, we have only received this superficial information, and the specific details will not be known until the security experts over there have analyzed them." ”

Langdon looked at the screen and shook his head, this is not Liu Xiao's style, Liu Xiao is not so public, he will use a kind of secret pressure to force the opponent to submit, when he was in Fengming, he did not directly attack those network extortion groups, but made the other party disappear with a post; This kind of provocation with teeth and claws should not be Liu Xiao.

Langdon thought of this, so he affirmed his judgment, this should be someone else, but I don't know who did it, anyway, as long as it's not Liu Xiao, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Intelligence, as for who did it, whether to track it down or not, that's the matter of the National Cyber Security Center.

"If there's a report over there, send it straight to my office!" Langdon said.

"Yes, General!" the intelligence officer stood up.

Langdon turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the informant's computer tick twice, and then the informant said, "General, the news over there is here!"

Langdon had to turn his head again and come to the computer, "What's going on?"

The intelligence agent clicked on the report and froze there, looking surprised, "How can this be! Security experts say that the attack on the ZF spokesperson's website came from our intelligence department!"

Langdon was furious, the intelligence department ate too much salt, this is obviously a frame-up, what kind of security expert is this, analyzing such an irresponsible report.

"Report!" a signal soldier ran next to him, "I received a notice from the National Cyber Security Center, they are going to send several security experts to come over and conduct a routine inspection of one of our servers to eliminate potential security risks!"

"Got it!" Langdon was angry, the intelligence department's network has been normal, how could someone use it to attack the spokesperson's website, this is simply a nonsense, and I don't know if the network security center has a brain, how to analyze it.

Langdon gritted his teeth and went to the office of the person in charge, I have to tell the person in charge about this, this is about the face of the intelligence department, although the intelligence department has been embarrassed recently, but it can't be bullied by other departments so casually.

After listening to this, although he was not as excited as Langdon, he was also very angry in his heart, before the change, the network center did not dare to draw this kind of conclusion easily, but now there is not even a note, so he will directly send someone to investigate, and he does not take the intelligence department in his eyes at all, "You say this can't be done by Liu Xiao?"

"Yes!" Langdon nodded, "This is not Liu Xiao's style at all, I'm sure, it's not Liu Xiao's doing!"

"Then why do security experts think that the attack came from our intelligence department?" "If they want to come to investigate, let's check it, and it doesn't matter if we check the security! It just so happens that we also take the opportunity to confirm our innocence!"

"Yes, General!" Langdon had to respond.

"You will be in charge of receiving them when they come, and fully cooperate!" said the person in charge, "To find out what is going on, we are the Intelligence Department, not to give people a black pot!"

"Yes, General!" Langdon shouted, now he understood what the person in charge meant.

As soon as the experts from the Cyber Security Center arrived downstairs at the Intelligence Department, Langdon was already waiting downstairs, "Hello! I'm General Langdon, and I'll be in charge of receiving this routine inspection!" Langdon smiled, "It's up to you next, you must return our intelligence department a clean slate!"

"General Langdon is serious!" a colonel over there led the team, "this is just a routine maintenance inspection!"

Langdon smiled on his face, but he secretly disdained it in his heart, is there such a maintenance for the routine maintenance of bullshit? You don't check so many machines in the Ministry of Intelligence, but you just designate this machine to do routine maintenance, don't other machines need maintenance, "Come, please, please, I'll take you over!"

Langdon led the way in front and led these people to a small office on the seventh floor, "This is a computer that we usually use for daily mail sending and receiving, we have verified, the IP you said belongs to this machine, you can start checking!"

As soon as the colonel raised his hand, several people behind him immediately stepped forward, took out their laptops and various detection tools, and after verifying that the IP was correct, they began to conduct a security check on the machine.

Langdon pulled a chair, copied a book from the table, and sat by to watch it, glancing at the inspection work of the men from time to time.

After about ten minutes, the test was done, and an expert said to the colonel: "Head, come and see!"

The colonel walked up to the people, looked at the test results on the computer, and frowned, strange, this machine has no traces of attack or attack, all kinds of security software are complete, and it is completely in accordance with the security standards of the network security center.

"General Langdon!" the Colonel looked back at Langdon, "Are you sure it's this computer?"

Langdon stood up suddenly, "What do you mean by that? Is it this computer, you are computer experts, can't you verify it?", Langdon was annoyed, he was not bored enough to point at the deer as a horse.

The colonel was taken aback, so he lay on the computer to verify it, and the results showed that the machine had been using this IP link to enter the network for more than 90 hours. The colonel was a little stupid, how could this be, the machine was able to deal with the number, but there was no trace of the attack at all, and the attacked party clearly showed that the source of the attack came from this machine, no matter how good the hacker was, he had to leave some clues, it wouldn't be so clean.

"Colonel!" Langdon was a little annoyed, "have you done your routine testing?"

The colonel didn't dare to say anything more now, and it seemed that he had to go back and report to his superiors to see what they thought, "Report to General Langdon, the routine test is complete!"

"The result?" Langdon asked, "Did someone hack our machine and then attack other ZF sites?"

"This ......," the colonel didn't know how to answer, and said for a long time, "We haven't found any traces of invasion and invasion on this machine, this machine is safe!"

"Then why did you recklessly issue a test report before the test, saying that the attack came from the intelligence department's network?" Langdon stared at the colonel, "Our intelligence department's network is not bad enough to be used as a gun!"

The sweat on the colonel's face fell, "General, we were indeed on the website server that was attacked before, and we found that the source of the attack came from this computer!"

"And how are you going to explain this now?" Langdon didn't give up.

The colonel knew that this was in trouble, as long as he couldn't explain this matter clearly, the Ministry of Intelligence would definitely not give up, who wants to be splashed with dirty water. "I ......" the colonel is in such a hurry, I really don't know what to say.

At this moment, the colonel's phone rang, and he was finally temporarily relieved, "What's the matter?", there was a whine on the phone, and when it was over, the colonel's face changed a few times, "Okay, I know, I'll go back immediately, the situation here is also quite unexpected, let's study it in detail after we go back!"

Hanging up the phone, the colonel looked at General Langdon, "I just received news from the headquarters, our Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Education, as well as the websites of the president and Congress, have all been hacked just now, and the situation is exactly the same as before, and all the traces of intrusion left by the attackers point to this computer!" The colonel pointed to the computer next to him, "It seems that this matter is indeed a little strange, if I am not miscalculated, this is someone deliberately framing the Ministry of Intelligence, and I am going to rush back to the headquarters immediately!" General Langdon, please be able to reminisce carefully and see if the Intelligence Department has offended any hacker figures lately!"

"Wait a minute!" Langdon stopped the colonel, "I have a question, since the other party is not attacking from our computer, why is all the attack coming here, how did he do it, how can he deceive your analysis?"

"Virtual attack!" replied the colonel, "I think there is only one possibility, the other party does not need to hack into the computer of the intelligence department at all, but can also disguise itself as the computer of the intelligence department, which is the brilliance of the virtual attack, he can even disguise an article or a picture on a website to launch an attack!"

"Is there a way to track down this attacker?" Langdon asked, since the attacker's spearhead was still pointed at the Intelligence Department in the end, and this person was obviously not Liu Xiao, then Langdon had to figure out who the other party was.

The colonel shook his head, "We can't do it yet, our experts have been studying it for more than a year, but they still don't know what virtual attacks are, let alone track down attackers! In fact, the policy-level firewall we purchased from the soft alliance before can prevent virtual intrusion, and it is the only security product in the world that can prevent virtual attacks, but it's a pity that ......", the colonel sighed and didn't finish his words, "General Langdon, I'll take my leave first!"
