Chapter 170: Hacker Spy
In order to make his future story more legendary, Zhou Shi discussed and cooperated with Jack Dorsey to find a way to make him step down as chairman within two months, creating the illusion that he was forced to resign by Lehman. Before the implementation began, Zhou Shi suddenly found that he had no shares in Twitter, and all voting rights came from the authorization of Galaxy Capital. This discovery made his plan easier to achieve. It won't be long before there will be a little contradiction between Twitter and YouTube, and then YouTube will change someone to Twitter, and Galaxy Capital's voting rights will be directly represented by Jack Dorsey. As for the further plan, it is to get Twitter to send more money and do less. For example, Twitter has increased its investment in the research of intelligent recommendation algorithms. As for the critical system stability, it is still necessary to slow down.
Before the plan was implemented, the time came on March 13, the day when New Century Financial Corporation declared that it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and on the same day the US stock market fell sharply, with the Dow down 2%, the S&P down 2.04%, and the Nasdaq down 2.15%. It is conceivable that the decline will expand in the next few days. The profits of the Vermilion Bird Fund will expand, and Zhou Shi was overjoyed for a while, showing a lewd smile. It was at this moment that he suddenly found that the camera flashed on his laptop. Soon Jiuqing turned cloudy, cloudy and overcast, and I didn't want to do so much, so I directly unplugged the network cable.
This laptop is his work computer at YouTube, and it was actually hacked in the work area, which is a little scary to think about. Is this an internal ghost or a very powerful hacker? What is his purpose? Or is Zhou Shi too careful? No wonder I saw that the camera of Zuckerberg's laptop was plastered with plasticine in my previous life, and it turned out that danger was everywhere.
This kind of thing is both a big thing and a small thing. If the company's development is delayed because of fear, it is more than worth the loss. This kind of thing, Shirley should have a lot of experience at Google, and the growth of every big company will not be smooth.
Let the company's network security department help him do a good job of protection, Zhou Shi continued to work as if nothing had happened. Then I found time to go to Twitter and aborted my plans with Jack Dorsey.
"Why?" asked Jack, surprised, and the plan began, stopping abruptly.
"I still don't think we should have done this, even if we won with intrigue and cunning, but at the same time we gave up on our own morality. Zhou Shi once again looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Jack Dorsey fell silent, "Maybe you're right! ”
"If we all fall, then who will uphold Twitter's values?" Zhou Shi
Although Jack was still very hesitant, since Zhou Shi had decided to give up his previous plan, he had no choice but to find a way to deal with the aftermath. Fortunately, it was just the beginning, and it was easy to complete the cleanup.
In fact, Zhou Shi didn't want to do this, but now that it's like this, it's better to be cautious, who knows if he will meet some people with moral cleanliness, if he gives himself a chance at a critical moment, it will be miserable. If you really want to do this kind of thing in the future, you still have to wear white gloves.
Zhou Shi came to Time Friends Company, and then he felt a lot safer, but unfortunately he didn't know if he had any monitoring equipment on his body, and now he was a little suspicious and uncomfortable.
"Lu Qi, how about our company's personal safety protection measures?" Zhou Shi
"This!" said Luffy, who had not spoken for a long time
"My computer on YouTube was hacked today, I don't know if it was done by commercial spies"
"Ahh
"It's not certain yet, but you know, how much of a potential benefit is in a $5 billion acquisition? "Zhou Shi
"Well, yes, Yahoo has this kind of thing every year. ”
"Can we follow Yahoo's example and establish our own security protection system," Zhou Shi
"But yes, it's quite expensive to maintain such a system. "Lucci
"We can take it one step at a time, but not all at once. "Zhou Shi
"Well, I'll take care of it right away. "Lucci
"The matter of the friend network is not in a hurry, but what measures can we take in the face of commercial espionage?" Zhou Shi did not have this experience and wanted to know more.
"We can use multiple schemes at the same time: 1. Separation of duties or duties. Ensure that there are at least two or more people in the enterprise to implement important information and business. This check mechanism can effectively prevent bad behavior by malicious employees and commercial espionage. 2. Encryption of important data. Encrypting important data ensures that even if a malicious attacker has successfully intercepted the data and brought it outside the network, it can be protected from viewing and stealing data by displaying garbled characters. 3. Set up an "identity life cycle" for employees to refine authority management. Establish an account lifecycle for enterprise employees, and set corresponding permissions and access control. Collect and record user access behavior, change and delete permissions after employees are transferred or resigned. These are just basic precautions, and when it comes to hacking, it's more complicated to guard against. ”
"Ask an expert to train me and my assistant in the technology, and we always have to know some contingency measures. "Zhou Shi
"Okay, I'll call Tang Fangping here, he has a very high level in this regard. "Lucci
Throwing his assistant here, Zhou Shi returned to YouTube and found Shirley Cheng Shijun and others.
"What's going on, has my computer been hacked?"
"Yes. "Cheng Shijun
"How did the other party get in?" Zhou Shi
"It may be that there is a problem with our internal precautions," Shirley said, with a solemn expression.
"What's the matter, do you know who did it, we can't deal with this company or organization?" Zhou Shi
"That's not it, it's just that with the current situation of our company, it's difficult for us to prevent it for the time being."
"It's a technical or institutional issue. Zhou Shi asked again
"Both, right?" Shirley
"Is our company's cash flow healthy?"
"You're saying we're going to ask a professional agency to help us," Shirley
"We are dealing with commercial espionage, and it is a good choice to have professionals to help us deal with this kind of problem, and we can also use this time to build a good internal protection system. More importantly, I think several companies still have a lot of ideas about this acquisition. We can't sit still" Zhou Shi stared at Cheng Shijun and the three seriously, they should know this truth very well. Although it is more expensive to find a professional agency, it is still acceptable to pay a small amount compared to the possible offer of $5 billion or more.
"I also think that we should have more protection measures for the time being, knowing that this acquisition is over" As expected, Cheng Shijun took the initiative to speak.
"I think our personal safety should also be protected, and who knows what dangerous moves they will make in order to buy YouTube. Hao Li may have thought of something, and spoke.
"Since everyone is not opposed, let's find a professional company to cooperate!" Zhou Shi finally made a summary decision.
In the end, they chose International Intelligence Ltd., a well-known British security company with employees from British military intelligence agencies such as the British Air Force Special Forces (SAS), special forces, police, etc. Their scope of business includes: surveillance, counterintelligence, intelligence security investigations, security training, close security (which provides security for many Hollywood stars), defense product sales, etc.
