The colonel's words reminded Langdon that he had returned the products of the Soft Alliance on the grounds of unsafety, but he had fallen into an even more unsafe vortex. In the face of virtual attacks, the cyber security department of country F has no way at all, it can't prevent it, and it can't trace the source of the attacker, and the strategy-level firewall of the soft alliance is the only product that can prevent virtual attacks, so according to this inference, Liu Xiao must also be a person who understands virtual attacks, if he really wants to use this to attack and retaliate, then his side is powerless.

Langdon is confused now, is today's attack done by Liu Xiao, is this the ecstasy array deliberately laid by Liu Xiao, do you think it was not he who did it, but it was exactly what he did?

Langdon hurried back to the intelligence hall, "I want all the information about the virtual attack, send it to my office right away!"

In the next few days, although the cybersecurity experts of country F were on standby, they still couldn't stop the mysterious hacker from rushing left and right, and the zf publicity website of country F almost fell once, and a few were even plowed three or four times, but what made these experts helpless was that hundreds of attacks have been carried out so far, and all the clues point to the machine of the intelligence department. In the end, the intelligence department was helpless and took the initiative to send a few experts to look at the machine, but the attack continued.

ZF's public website was hacked back and forth, and even if the cybersecurity experts recovered quickly, they would be caught, and the media quickly noticed the situation, and after many inquiries, they figured out what happened. The media began to open fire, the first target was the Ministry of Intelligence, they questioned why the source of each attack would point to the Ministry of Intelligence, whether the Ministry of Intelligence had recruited hackers, what had attracted hackers, and they asked the Ministry of Intelligence to give an explanation; the second bombardment was the Cyber Security Department, a huge Cyber Security Department, which had raised so many experts that it had allowed its opponent to succeed hundreds of times in a row under his nose, and he still did not know who the opponent was, which was also too incompetent, and the media demanded that the head of the Cyber Security Department leave class, and even ZF's public website could not be protected, so there was no need to continue to do it。

After the hacking incident was exposed by the media, the impact expanded rapidly and became a topic of conversation on the streets and alleys of country F, and some people even guarded those zf publicity websites every day to see if it would be hacked again. Some hacker groups in country F also felt embarrassed, and while they joined the ranks of stepping down the head of ZF's cyber security department, they began to discuss ways to find out the hackers who attacked and prepare to retaliate.

In addition to media reports that the ZF cyber security department is working behind closed doors and outdated technology, hacker groups have also exposed and accused the ZF cyber security department of suppressing civil security forces for a long time through various channels. Some members of Congress were already a little dissatisfied with the Ministry of Intelligence, so they seized on this matter and put pressure on the Ministry of Intelligence to explain what caused the frequent hacking incidents in the past few days.

Liu Xiao has been busy recruiting talents these days, and after hearing the news, he was also taken aback and was very surprised, because he knew that he hadn't had time to make a move, what kind of person was this, who actually did what he wanted to do but didn't have time to do in advance, it couldn't be that the intelligence department of country F offended another Chinese hacker, right?

Besides, it takes a lot of courage to go against a country's intelligence department, and ordinary people will choose to save their lives and run away when they do this kind of thing, that is, to take revenge, but also to sneak in secretly, but now it seems that it is obviously not, and the behavior of this attacker is too arrogant and arrogant, lest the world will not know about it.

Could it be a bitter ploy? Was it the intelligence department of country F that deliberately did what they had to do first, so as not to really do it themselves? Liu Xiao shook his head, this doesn't make sense, they won't be so stupid, after all, this is a shame on their own people, if they are exposed, it will definitely be a catastrophe.

"It's strange, who could it be?" Liu Xiao wondered, if he could invade hundreds of times repeatedly, he must be a master among masters, and this person must be very familiar with virtual attacks, otherwise the source of the attack would not all show that it was the same machine. But there are not many people in the world who can attack virtually, and it can't be that they are walking on the snow without a trace, Sidney, or the wild goose is full of food, so go for a walk in country F to help digest!

Liu Xiao thought about it, and suddenly remembered a person, the last time he entered the telecommunications network, he once met a master who also used virtual attacks, and chatted with him twice, this person appeared in the telecommunications network, it is said that he should also be Chinese, could it be that the intelligence department of country F really offended two Chinese hackers at the same time?

Liu Xiao felt that this was too outrageous, and he couldn't know who the master he met that day was, so he had to move his eyes to the people around him again, could it be who was fighting for him? Liu Xiao's first thought was Shang Yue, but to be honest, Liu Xiao really didn't know where Shang Yue's technical ceiling was, anyway, since he arrived at the company, Shang Yue has completed all the tasks assigned by Liu Xiao! Before sending her to the Black Hat Conference last time, Liu Xiao had specifically taught Shang Yue some knowledge about virtual attacks, but it was all conceptual.

"Could it be that Shang Yue will also attack virtually?" Liu Xiao scratched his cheeks, this is possible, Shang Yue is much more low-key than herself, maybe she really will, and she has been urging herself to take revenge a few days ago, but she has not been diligent in shouting these days, which is very revealing. "What can I do about this?", Liu Xiao couldn't make up her mind, in case it was really Shang Yue's doing, and she ran to ask her, she would probably not admit it, but she might have some estrangement with herself because of this, after all, she did it privately, she just didn't want to let herself know.

Liu Xiao thought about the other people again, Fang Guokun, Huang Xing, Liu Chen, Li Yicheng, Wei Gang, and even Zhang Xiaohua didn't let go, because Liu Xiao was now not sure whether the USB flash drive he gave to Zhang Xiaohua at the beginning was a tool for virtual attacks.

"Bang bang!", there were two knocks on the door, which interrupted Liu Xiao's train of thought.

"Please come in!" Liu Xiao hurriedly shouted.

Shang Yue, who came in, she saw Liu Xiao sitting there and didn't do anything, a little strange, Liu Xiao was busy when she came in before, "Are you thinking about something?"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Xiao hurriedly responded, "I'm thinking about who the hacker who attacked country F is, I have to thank people for doing what we want to do!"

"Isn't that you?" Shang Yue stared at Liu Xiao, also puzzled!

"Didn't you ask knowingly?" Liu Xiao stood up with a smile, "You know, that's not my style at all!"

"It's strange, it's not you, who could it be?" Shang Yue also locked his eyebrows.

Liu Xiao looked at it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Shang Yue's expression, so he gave up further temptation, anyway, no matter who it was, he would pay more attention to it in the future, and he must not let this master be planted in, thinking of this, Liu Xiao asked: "What are you looking for me?"

"Oh! this is for you!" Shang Yue put a stack of documents in his hand on Liu Xiao's desk, "This is a plan for our multi-echelon security system that I have drafted according to your requirements, you can take a look!"

Liu Xiao flipped through it and said, "Very good, very good, I think that's it, no need to hand it over to others to discuss!"

"Let's discuss it!" Shang Yue said, "If there is anything inappropriate, I will change it!"

"Once this project is started, it will be a matter that no one can say for sure, how can it be done step by step according to the plan!" Liu Xiao smiled, "This thing is for the city government to see, in fact, they can't understand it, it's just a formal thing, it looks formal, and it is also a sign of responsibility to the people of the city! It's okay, as long as we can know it in our hearts!"

"Then ......" Shang Yue looked at Liu Xiao, "Then that's it, I'll be busy first!"

"Okay!" Liu Xiao picked up the document with his hand, "I also have to go out, go to the city government and hand over this thing, they have urged it several times!"

Liu Xiao went directly to Mayor Feng's office, and as soon as he entered the door, Mayor Feng stood up with a smile, "This is exactly what Cao Cao said, Cao Cao is here, come on, come on, sit down!"

"Oh?" Liu Xiao smiled, "Mayor Feng has something to do with me?"

"It's nothing!" Mayor Feng sat on the sofa next to Liu Xiao, "I read a few reports just now, all of them are about network security, and recently, whether it is at home or abroad, the network is not very peaceful." The central government requires us to attach great importance to these places and do a good job in their own network security work, I think of you, I want to hear what you think, how can we further do a good job in the network security of our Haicheng!"

"This is a multi-faceted job!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Aren't we installing strategic-level products recently, I want to really improve the security of the network, upgrading the hardware is only a part, he still has a lot of work to do, the most critical point is to improve the security awareness of all people who use the network, if it is to rely on those security personnel to do security work, this is unrealistic, and it cannot be regarded as really doing a good job of security work!"

"You're saying a good thing!" Mayor Feng smiled, "Tell me more, what specific things do you want to do?"

Liu Xiao thought for a while and said: "In this way, we have recently recruited a group of new employees, according to the company's regulations, before taking up the post, it is necessary to train them in safety knowledge and industry ethics." I think it would be better to have the people in charge of daily network maintenance and security work in the city government also participate in the training and learn the latest security knowledge!

"Okay, good!" Mayor Feng nodded, "Then it's time to let them study hard, to be honest, I also think that the current security staff of the city government are a little rigid in thinking, and they are arrogant and closed-door, unlike you companies, who can keep pace with the times in technology!"

"Then it's decided, I'll send you the specific training schedule when I go back!" Liu Xiao said, taking out the pile of documents just now from his briefcase, "By the way, there is this, this is the plan for our project." I would like to take advantage of our cooperation with the city government on this project, and during the project, we will be popularizing the safety operation specifications in some functional departments of the city government!"

"Good thing, good thing!" Mayor Feng took it and put it aside, "You really have a heart!", can Mayor Feng be unhappy, now he has something to say to the above, and it can be regarded as an explanation.

Liu Xiao smiled, "It's nothing, of course I hope that our Haicheng network is indestructible, from a certain point of view, our soft alliance and the city government are both prosperous and loss-making!"

"Well, that's true!" Mayor Feng nodded, "The things in this network circle are also quite interesting! I accepted this report, and after the municipal party committee approved it, our cooperation can officially begin." Oh, yes, there's one more thing!", after the mayor finished speaking, he stood up and went to the drawer of his office to take out a red-headed document, "The land for your soft alliance has been approved, this is a document, take this, you can go through the formalities!"

Liu Xiao took a look and found that this land was not far from the Tianjing Building, and he was overjoyed at the moment, watching his building be pulled up day by day, it was indeed a very cool thing, "Thank you mayor, thank you for the city's support to us!"

At this time, under the building of the Intelligence Department of Country F, Langdon and Richard were standing there, as if waiting for someone, Richard looked at his watch from time to time, frowned, and then continued to pace in circles, which had been waiting for more than half an hour.

A brand-new Maybach slowly drove towards this direction, and Langdon straightened up, and said, "Richard, here's someone!"

Langdon himself helped someone open the car door, then leaned over to look inside, and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Sidney, we've got you here!"

Sidney was noncommittal, slowly got out of the car, raised his hand and looked at the building of the Ministry of Intelligence, where he stood.

"Mr. Sidney, please go inside!" Langdon hurriedly stretched out his hand, "The General is waiting for you up there!"

Sidney made a slight gesture and walked towards the building, Langdon following in a low voice, "Go and tell the general that the man we are inviting is coming!"

"Okay!" Richard replied, and walked towards the elevator on the other side, secretly wondering in his heart, Langdon, who is usually so arrogant, has taken the wrong medicine today, and whispered to people.

Richard went up to tell the person in charge, and the person in charge also got dressed, went out and walked to the elevator, and then waited there. Richard couldn't help but speculate about the identity of the person just now, how could even the general attach so much importance to him, usually the Minister of Defense came, and the general greeted him at the door of the office at most.

With a "ding", the elevator door slid open, and the person in charge changed to a smile, "Mr. Sidney, welcome to you!"

"Hello, General!" Sidney shook hands with the person in charge.

"This way, please!" the person in charge raised his hand, led the way in front, and walked towards the conference room.

When everyone was seated in the conference room, the person in charge said a few polite words, and then glanced at Langdon, and Langdon stood up.

"Mr. Sidney, we know you're the most researched expert on virtual attacks in the security community, and this ......"

"Excuse me!" Sidney suddenly raised his hand, "Let me correct, I'm not the one who has the most research on virtual attacks, there are actually many people who are more familiar with virtual attacks than me!"

Langdon didn't get his ass right, so he had to cough awkwardly, and then said: "This time we invited Mr. Sidney to come over, because we have something to ask for, recently, a hacker has frequently attacked some of our ZF publicity websites, using a virtual attack, every time he is a virtual attack source of a server of our intelligence department, and now the media are questioning our intelligence department, which makes us speechless." ”

"You want me to help you find the attacker?" Sidney asked.

"Yes!" said Langdon at once, "the only one who can clear our innocence now is Mr. Sidney, please help us once!"

"I don't have any interest in helping you!" Sidney said.

Langdon was stunned, he didn't know what to say, no one could know Sidney's temper, if he was happy, he would take the initiative to help you, if he was unhappy, it was useless for you to ask for it, and this person believed that he was an aristocrat, and he never wanted to work for money, "Mr. Sidney, you listen to me......"

"Still, I'm interested in this guy who can hack you hundreds of times in a row using virtual attacks!" Sidney leaned back in his chair, "I want to know who this person is!"

Langdon let out a sigh of relief, making himself nervous for a long time, damn, can't you finish what you have to say in one go, but Langdon didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, Mr. Sidney, I know that you are really a respected security expert!"

"You don't have to say these useless words!" Sidney raised his hand, "You can just introduce the details of the process, and then explain the specific arrangements!"

"Okay, Mr. Sidney is a very happy man!", Langdon hurriedly gave a full introduction to the course of the matter, but he hid his holiday with Liu Xiao.

Sidney didn't say anything, just sat there and brood, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mr. Sidney! I have a question!" Richard suddenly spoke, "Everyone knows that the policy-level firewall of the SoftAlliance is the only security product in the world that can defend against virtual attacks, do you think this will be done by Liu Xiao, the head of the SoftAlliance, the attacker left behind Chinese characters!"

Sidney glanced at Richard, a little dissatisfied, "Since you know that only that firewall can defend against virtual attacks, why should you retreat?"

Richard had no choice but to turn his head and stop talking.

"Actually, if Liu Xiao did it, you should have the answer in your hearts, otherwise you wouldn't have invited me here!" Sidney looked at Langdon, "I'm right!"

"Yes!" Langdon nodded, thinking in his heart that this Sidney is really good, he knows the style of the intelligence department very well, if the intelligence department can determine who did it, then it will definitely not ask him to come over to help, and the targeted operation has already begun, "Then this matter will trouble Mr. Sidney, I will immediately contact the people in the network security center, and they will arrange a specific plan of action!"
