Or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Just when Fan Wuxian was overflowing with the joy of a province, a phone call from Hong Kong poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"Boss, I seem to be being targeted." Kevin said this when he called Fan Wuxian.
"How can this be, is it possible that there are also experts in network security in the Samsung Group and Japanese companies?" Fan Wuxian was very surprised and didn't understand why Kevin had missed.
When sending Kevin to Hong Kong, Fan Wuxian had already told him very clearly that he should concentrate on his business and take care of other idle things, and it stands to reason that there is no opponent in Samsung Group and Japanese companies that can be compared with Kevin?
What's going on this time?
"It's been going well lately, so I couldn't resist the itch and went to San Diego Supercomputer Center." Kevin said a little embarrassed.
Uh, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but moan. Kevin likes to challenge himself, he knows this, otherwise he would not have become the first hacker wanted by the FBI nationwide, and he was therefore networked by Fan Wuxian and acted as his own hacker master, used to spy on the opponent's intelligence and core information on the network for himself.
At the beginning, in order to trap him, the FBI even bribed Kevin's accomplices and set up a bureau to lure him in, but Kevin's skills and luck were also good, he entered the FBI's internal network, and even if he discovered the FBI's conspiracy, he was able to escape smoothly.
\\\\\Kevin has always had a passion for pushing the limits of hackers, so the San Diego Supercomputer Center has always been a big goal for him, and the security experts here are among the best in the country.
If you can break through the system here and can't be recognized, that's the ultimate in life.
"Can't you just stop a little bit?" Fan Wuxi couldn't help but reproach him. But Fan Wuxian is also very clear.
It's just as impossible to make Kevin's Principle as dangerous as it is to get addicts to give up drugs. When Kevin was in prison.
An ordinary AM/FM radio was once transformed into an eavesdropping tool that could eavesdrop on the conversations of prison administrators, which forced him to be kept in solitary confinement in a cell to avoid contact with others.
It's no wonder that someone said that as long as Kevin was given a phone line and a keyboard, he could hack into any system he wanted to enter, which was a bit exaggerated, but it also fully illustrated Kevin's strength.
**.coM*** But Fan Wuxian understands a little. Kevin's only defeat was at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, where he met Japanese Tsutomu Shimomura, a brilliant computer cybersecurity expert.
This time Kevin said to himself that he was being targeted, and it was at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, Fan Wuxi immediately thought of Shimomura Mian, he must have been eyeing Kevin.
Since Kevin is targeted, it is not suitable to stay in Hong Kong, after all, Americans and Britons wear the same pants.
It is possible to catch people through the Hong Kong police at any time, although Kevin is now using a fake identity in Hong Kong, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will find his roots in the vine, and then obtain the LCD technology of Samsung Group through Kevin, as well as some financial information in Japan and the United States.
It will undoubtedly be exposed. This is what Fan Wuxian does not want to see.
"That's fine, you destroy all the tools. Don't leave any traces. Fan Wuxian said to Kevin,
"I'll send someone over and get you back as soon as I can. Wait until things settle down before making a decision. Kevin hesitated for a moment and said,
"I was just suspicious, and I didn't notice any big moves or suspiciousness. And I've been hacking the Fed's network lately, and I'm sure there will be results soon. "Hacking the Fed's network?
! Fan Wuxi was suddenly taken aback by Kevin again, and he immediately ordered,
"Okay, by tomorrow night at the latest, you have to destroy all the materials and equipment, and the important documents can be handed over to other employees to bring back to the mainland first, and I will contact the security department to give you the convenience of customs clearance."
"Good land boss, I believe there will be results tonight." Kevin's expectations for breaking the Fed in a short period of time are very high, and he has always wanted to know what kind of secrets are hidden in the institutions that manage the dollar.
In fact, not only him, but even Fan Wuxian was very curious about the Fed's secrets, otherwise he would not have agreed to Kevin's stay in Hong Kong until tomorrow night before evacuating.
According to his habit, since he found that something was wrong, he should evacuate first just in case.
"The Federal Reserve! Greenspan--- Fan shook his head, remembering the shrewd and capable old Jewish man, and if he could get some secret information from him, it would be very beneficial for him to grasp the American way of thinking.
Fan Wuxian thought about it, and always felt a little uneasy, Kevin has always liked to challenge himself, it's hard to believe that he will keep a low profile, if people find out that the person who is attacking the Fed network now is him Kevin, it will be a lot of trouble, so he contacted several security personnel in Hong Kong, that is, the seals he personally selected and sent over, so that they can pay attention to the movements of the Hong Kong police, if they find that there are actions that are unfavorable to Kevin, they will immediately find a way to take Kevin out, even if they fight with the police, Also make sure Kevin can get away.
The first novel 520 is being strategized at the same time that Fan Wuxian is strategizing, and on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, FBI agents have mobilized dozens of cybersecurity experts and are scanning the Federal Reserve's network to track down intruders of unknown origin.
The person who led these people to hunt down Kevin was the cybersecurity expert at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, Japanese Tsutomu Shimomura.
Dozens of computers were on, and everyone sat in front of several computers, carefully analyzing some unusual data streams in order to find problems from them, and at night, the traffic of the main server changed abnormally, and everyone's emotions were mobilized at once.
"Attention units, suspicious targets are found." Shimomura Mian cheered up and said to everyone. After the San Diego Supercomputer Center was hacked, he noticed that the intruders were sophisticated and skillful, and the whole process was as easy as a cloud of peers, which was simply breathtaking.
**.coM*** Shimomura, the chief security expert at the computer center, is very angry at Kevin's invasion of no man's land, and he vows to catch Kevin and be ashamed.
It just so happened that the FBI found him, saying that the Federal Reserve's computer network had recently been invaded by unknown people, although it was unsuccessful, but judging from the traces of the scene, it was a bit like Kevin's method, and they hoped that Shimomura Tsutomu could participate in the pursuit of Kevin.
Shimomura just thought about it for a while, and agreed, it is not a shame to be able to play against the world's top hacker Kevin Mitnick, although it occupies the resources of the FBI, but if you can achieve your goal, it is enough to make yourself famous in one fell swoop.
So he became the leader of the FBI's hunt for Kevin, using the Federal Reserve's network as a base, waiting here for Kevin's appearance.
As for Kevin, Shimomura has also done some research, Kevin is conceited, and since he has begun to attack the Fed's network center, he will not return in vain, that is not his style.
Therefore, Shimomura thinks that the best way to deal with Kevin is to stay in the Fed network that he will definitely come back to, and wait for him to come to the door automatically.
The experts on the scene immediately analyzed the intrusion data, and soon found the source of the other party, jumped through one disguise after another, and finally found Kevin's hiding place.
"He should be in Hong Kong!" Shimomura said to the FBIs who had been waiting for a long time.
"There are more than 5 million people visiting Hong Kong, can you determine where it is?" The head of the FBI asked.
"Then we'll need time to continue scanning and analyzing his data sources." Shimomura sat back down in front of the computer, his hands tapping quickly on the keyboard, typing lines of instructions on the screen.
On the other side of the world, Kevin, who was in a five-star hotel in Hong Kong, had three computers connected to the Internet in front of him, and the staff had evacuated with the information, so he chose a hotel he had never visited, checked in with a false identity, and then began to invade wildly.
At midnight, Kevin finally broke into the Fed's system and successfully entered the opponent's core database.
"You really deserve a drink to celebrate! It's a pity I'm the only one here! Kevin watched with some excitement as the data was downloaded by him, reached for a can of beer on the table, and the car pulled the tab.
"Found the source! It's in a 5 star hotel! At the same time, Shimomura and the others also discovered Kevin's hiding place, stood up excitedly, and clapped their hands to each other in celebration.
"Contact the Hong Kong police immediately and let them arrest them." The head of the FBI at the scene immediately ordered.
"At this time, it is estimated that the Hong Kong police officers have gone to sleep." A Chinese expert from Hong Kong told him.
When the FBI leader heard that it made sense, he said,
"Okay then, I believe that there must be no sleeping people in the Flying Tigers in Hong Kong, contact them directly for help."
"Dealing with them, I'm afraid it's hard to talk about Kevin's extradition." An F.B.I. said with a frown.
The British also attach great importance to hacker geniuses like Kevin, and they can't easily hand over the people they catch to the Americans, which is too cheap for them.
"This matter will be talked about later, the most important thing is to catch the talent first!" The head of the FBI decided.
After all, Kevin has already made the entire American computer network jump these days, and if he can't be caught, he really has no face in the public eye.
