Chapter 81: A Conspiracy in the Shadows
February 14 is destined to be a sleepless night.
After Cui Mingzejishu's development team and hundreds of GMs teamed up to track down overnight, they finally counted the accounts and related data involved in the entire "number theft door" incident, but looking at the heavy data report in their hands, no one on the scene could easily come down.
The profit obtained by this "Legend Perfect Hang-up" plug-in for more than a month is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and at the same time, the damage to "Legend" is also fatal.
"Mr. Lin, according to our investigation, we have locked the IP of the player account that was finally stolen, but they are all from abroad. Cui Ming's face was wrinkled, he seemed to be ten years old this night. The game he had worked so was a bit of a drain, especially since it was avoidable.
"Abroad!" Lin Feng was stunned, could it be a fake IP address.
"Yes, the other party must have used some tools that can hide the IP address, and in our jishu in this regard, it is impossible to trace it. Cui Ming knew that what he met this time was not only a villain who stole the number, but also a master who was proficient in hacking. It seems that the popularity of "Legend", the monetary benefits brought by the launch of equipment and gold coin sales have also attracted the attention of all parties, and even hackers want to get a piece of the pie.
Hackers!--Lin Feng felt a pang in his heart, hackers are a kind of people with mysterious identities, and no one knows who they are. Maybe in reality, they are just ordinary people, so ordinary that you often pass by on weekdays, but in the Internet shijie, this group of people is like a shadow, everywhere, and has supreme power.
In addition to being surprised, Lin Feng was also slightly glad that at least this time the other party did not destroy the player database of "Legend", otherwise it would really make Lin Feng want to cry without tears. Of course, the database of "Legend" is also heavily protected, and it is not so easy to destroy it, but it should not be too difficult for hackers who can even enter the US military network to enter their own database.
It seems that he should also recruit a group of elite talents in this area, otherwise maybe one day the database of "Legend" will really be breached, although there is a backup on his side, but it is impossible to back up every day, and the weekly backup is relative to the daily game progress of "Legend" players, once the file is reversed, this loss is huge.
The most annoying thing for players is the rollback, which not only means the loss of experience during this time, but also the possibility of losing high-level equipment that has been hard to explode.
"Okay, let's have a meeting!" The eastern sky has already seen white, Lin Feng's promise yesterday must be fulfilled today. Give an account to all players at nine.
Everyone at the meeting had a solemn face, looking at the data in their hands, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts. This time is a crisis for "Legend" and "Second Shijie", if it is not handled well, "Second Shijie" will fall from the current dominance of the domestic online game market and the throne of smiling and proud to the dust, and become one of the many stars. But if it is handled well, it can calm the player's resentment, and instead can use this incident to establish a new image of the company in the player's mind.
A double-edged sword, hurting the enemy and hurting yourself.
"Let me first give you a brief explanation of the player accounts and coins involved in this incident. Cui Ming said bitterly, "There are a total of 312,540 stolen players, a total of more than 120 pieces of stolen equipment, and 297 billion gold coins. ”
When these numbers came out, everyone present took a breath of cool air, this huge amount of money is enough to completely disrupt the financial system of "Legend" Shijie, and when the financial system is in chaos, the entire "Legend" will be in chaos.
"Also, although we stopped the service in time, the more than 1.2 million pieces of equipment involved, as well as 297 billion gold coins, have all been transferred and transactions have been generated. In the end, we intercepted about 80% of the equipment and gold coins in terms of quantity, but in terms of value, we intercepted only 70% of the value of the stolen equipment, and most of the high-level equipment has been sold. Cui Ming was dripping blood in his heart, this time the opponent was too cunning, and he sold high-level equipment first, so that even if it was seized, they would get the most benefits.
And being able to sell the equipment from the number theft so quickly and transfer it shows that the other party is not a person, but a number theft group.
After listening to Cui Mingze's introduction, everyone sighed deeply. While resenting the other party's cunning and insidiousness, I have to admire the other party's scheming and overall situation.
"This is my search of Dingdang.com yesterday, most of the equipment in this "Legend" theft door incident should be sold by these more than ten accounts, but after cooperation with the public security organs, the ID card and related information registered by this account are all false information, and the source cannot be traced. Liu Yingying said with a frown.
"Damn!" everyone present couldn't help but raise their middle fingers at the master of the number thief this time, it was so cunning.
Liu Yingying looked at the senior management around helplessly, and actually spoke so rudely during the meeting. However, after experiencing this incident, Liu Yingying herself also wanted to point at the other party's nose and scold.
"But the only good news is that the amount of money that the other party who stole the number this time was all in the Alipay account of Dingdang.com, and the total amount was about 430 yuan. However, I discussed with Vice President Cui that all the equipment and gold coins sold were far lower than the normal market price, which was a low-price dumping. Liu Yingying frowned and said.
Everyone took a sharp breath again, such a huge profit, no wonder the other party was so scheming to steal the number. However, this also gives a little comfort to the distressed people, at least it also shows the popularity of "Legend". But the other party's low-price dumping also brought a lot of trouble to the "second shijie".
After Liu Yingying finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Feng, this time the number theft incident has not only involved "Legend" and "Second Shijie", but also spread to Dingdang.com, only Lin Feng can make a decision.
But this decision is by no means easy to make, and if you are not careful, it will not only affect the "second shijie", I am afraid that Lin Feng's other money-making company, Dingdang.com, will also suffer from it.
Liu Yingying and Wu Zhaopu glanced at each other, and the two of them sniffed a hint of conspiracy from them. This "theft gate" incident is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Okay, let's express our opinions together!" Lin Feng also faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't make a decision in a hurry, so he had to listen to the audience's thoughts first.
At this time, some unknown corner.
"Boss, yes, yes, but "Legend" has been suspended, and I only sold 30% of the equipment and gold coins, about 4.3 million yuan, and the rest is estimated to be impossible to get back. A man kept talking into the phone.
Looking closely, this man was the man who had scolded Lin Feng for stopping the machine in time.
"Well, Boss Xiexie, Boss Xiexie. Rest assured, the other party will never be able to trace it, my IP address has passed through dozens of countries, and this money will eventually go through the financial banks of more than a dozen countries, and it will definitely be clean. The man said confidently.
"Well, remember, I want absolute security. We don't care about that money, if you have the ability, you can take it all. But there must be no mistakes, otherwise we will make you absolutely unable to gain a foothold in the country. Also, you already have 2 million in the bank, which is a hardship fee we gave you. A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, boss. The man nodded and hung up.
"Cut, although there is a lot of money, but you may not be able to get it, damn, if you don't do it well this time, you will do a day job. The man slammed the table in hatred and looked at the jingle nets on the computer screen. Obviously, the man also knew about Dingdang's three-day rules for withholding buyers' payments, and if Dingdang returned this huge profit to the buyer on the grounds of suspected account theft, the man who worked hard might not receive anything.
But fortunately, the other party also gave the man 2 million hardship fees, which was enough for him to pay for the labor expenses he requested. Otherwise, it is estimated that he will cry to death.
On the other side, call the man's boss and pick up the phone again.
"Okay, I'll do it here, and the rest is up to you. The boss said in a dark voice.
"Hehe, don't worry. Although we have nothing to do with you, we do have a common enemy, not for your interests, but for our own interests. The man on the other end laughed.
"Well, okay, just wait for the big show to start tomorrow. ”
