Chapter 195: Deterrence

After the report meeting ended, Captain Li invited Heitian to dinner, Hu Yifei was the sponsor, and naturally it was indispensable, as well as the heads of several other security agencies in Dongyang City.

"Today's report will be very successful, thank you for your support, especially Figo's help!" Heitian raised his glass, "I'll do it first for respect!" ”

The big guys drank this cup together, and then it was casual, from time to time someone came to salute the black sky, and after a round of drinking, everyone's topic talked about the current situation and prospects of the security industry.

Hei Tian did not shy away from saying: "The next few years will be the golden age of network security, and you should seize the opportunity!" We have now become a big Internet country, and objectively we have all the conditions to form a huge network security market; In addition, the Internet economy has been growing rapidly for many years, and the issue of network security has become an important prerequisite for the consolidation and continued development of this economy. In the past, everyone was reluctant to invest money in safety, because everyone was walking barefoot at that time, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but now there are no ostriches, everyone has things in their pockets, and they are afraid that others will start to worry about it, and they are rushing to work safety. Since last year, large security agencies with international surnames have begun to enter the domestic market in a heap, which is nothing more than optimistic about the domestic security business. ”

"Does the Black Boss have any suggestions in this regard?" A few people asked.

"I can't talk about suggestions, in the end, safety depends on technology! Compared with foreign security companies, we have a certain gap in technology, experience, and even hardware, if you want to make up for these defects, you must rely on a single fight is definitely not good, we must complement each other's advantages, so that 1 + 1 is greater than 2, pay attention to talent training, and most importantly, we can't have that kind of 'open for three years' mentality, this industry will not only exist for three or five years, he will last for a long time, so we must establish a credible brand image! Domestic companies only focus on the power of advertising and marketing, and ignore the power of branding, and when it comes to real short-term combat, they will quickly collapse. ”

Hu Yifei deeply believes this, those large foreign companies attach great importance to maintaining their brand image, and even in the selection of spokespersons, they are extremely harsh, and will make very detailed requirements for the words and deeds of spokespersons, their products are not without flaws, nor are they without problems, they secretly do more dirty things than can be counted, but you can rarely pick out other people's thorns from the face. On the other hand, domestic enterprises, but even this superficial effort is reluctant to do, not to mention false advertising, all of them are saving a lot of money mentality in the brand, giving people the impression that they want money to die, not to mention any responsibility, the product has a problem, desperately denying it is still good, not good, there is someone who was sentenced to indefinite Xu because of bank mistakes, no matter how bad, there is Sanlu milk powder.

However, Hu Yifei is not a qualified businessman so far, so he just sat there and listened, and did not show much interest in these topics of the security market, and was even pondering the things that were said at the Black Sky Report Meeting in his mind, the hacker incident that single-handedly overturned the conspiracy of the entire developed country, so that Hu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little surging when he thought about it, besides, whether the ultimate form of cyber war would really come.

The banquet dispersed, Captain Li arranged a place for Hei Tian to rest, Hei Tian is not in a hurry to leave today, he will stay in Dongyang for two days, tomorrow he will visit Weilan Network Security, and Google's security department, and then return.

The people of these security agencies in Dongyang then said goodbye one after another.

In the end, Hu Yifei, Captain Li, and Cobra were left, and Hu Yifei said the question in his heart, "Boss Black, I have a question, I want to continue to ask you!" ”

"You say you say it!" Heitian smiled.

"The United States holds the foundation of the Internet, but at the same time its own virtual economy is also the largest, every year from the Internet, the United States earns too much wealth to calculate, if it really launches the ultimate form of network war, it is tantamount to killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself, what is the probability of this kind of thing happening?"

Hei Tian waved his hand, "My duty is to protect the security of the national network and ensure that the domestic virtual economy is not destroyed, so all the things that endanger the national network security, the probability of its occurrence is 100% in my opinion, and everything I do is to reduce this probability until it reaches zero!" Since you're asking me that, I'm going to ask you a question, right? ”

Hu Yifei nodded, "Black boss, excuse me!" ”

"Why does the enemy who launches the ultimate form attack have to be the United States?" Heitian asked rhetorically.

"Uh......" Hu Yifei was a little stunned, he hadn't thought about this question.

Hei Tian laughed, "In my eyes, this enemy who launched an attack, he may be the United States, Britain, France and Germany, or it may be a country in Africa, as long as there is a country with the Internet, then they have the premise of attacking us, and I have to be prepared for this!" My duty is to prevent all attacks that endanger national networks, not to target a specific country! ”

Hu Yifei was in awe, he used to think that these people with six doors were all wine bags and rice bags, and he thought that those who achieved the top level were all incompetent people who went up to the sycophants, but now when he came into contact with the black sky, he knew that there were still some elites who were really conscientious.

"We can't shut out the Internet just because it might endanger national security, and we all know the fate of closing the country to the outside world. We must not only accept advanced things, but also learn from them well, use them well, and have the ability to defend them, otherwise no matter how well you develop, you will not be able to defend the fruits of development! Hei Tian paused, "In this world, there are only a handful of countries that can truly achieve reading autonomy, and if there is no military deterrence, we cannot have 30 years of peaceful time to do economic development, don't you say?" ”

Hu Yifei nodded, he agreed.

"In the same way, the same is true of the network, we must not only have the ability to defend him, but also have a certain counter-force so that our enemies dare not act rashly." Hei Tian's face was solemn, "But this is not enough, once the ultimate form of cyber war comes, we must also have our own technical strength to rebuild the network!" ”

Hu Yifei only understood Heitian's overall idea at this point, and said: "Thank you for the guidance of Boss Hei, I really benefited a lot today!" ”

"It's a good idea, but you people need to do it!" Hei Tian smiled and patted Hu Yifei's shoulder, "Do it well!" ”

On the way back to Zhichun Garden, Hu Yifei has been pondering the words of the black sky.

At the same time, ZM hacked into the networks of several British confidential departments, swept away a large number of classified documents, and then issued an ultimatum demanding that the British political axe release Maple Moon Shadow and allow Maple Moon Shadow to leave the country, otherwise they would disclose these classified documents online.

ZM spent a lot of effort during this time to change their image, and if they do this kind of thing now, they will naturally not leave any traces related to ZM, and they casually named a hacker group called the "Assassin Organization".

The UK's top cyber security unit moved quickly to conduct a territory-wide investigation to determine how many sectors had been compromised and how large the damage was. At the same time, a large number of security experts were immediately organized to analyze the methods of the Assassins' invasion and actively deploy defenses. Because of the loss of classified documents, the UK's national security and intelligence services also joined in, and they needed to determine whether there was the support of other political forces behind the Assassin Order, and what the other party's real intentions were.

After the "Climategate" incident, the British political axe specially added the post of the supreme director of network security, which was intended to strengthen the UK's defense forces in network security, but I didn't expect that instead of curbing the momentum of the main hacker incursion, it was first ravaged and destroyed by ZM, and then slapped in the face by the reborn organization, and today, an assassin organization has emerged.

The first supreme cyber security officer has now become history, and the second term, who has just come to power, is known as an extremely experienced super security expert who has repeatedly thwarted Russian hacker attacks, and his ass has not yet sat firmly, and I am afraid that it is about to become history.

The analysis by the British side lasted more than ten hours, and the technical side tentatively concluded that the hackers used a vulnerability in the Adobe's PDF reader to get in, involving a never-before-published PDF0day.

More than 90% of the world's computers are installed with Adobe software products, the most famous are graphic design software Photoshop (put the picture ps, this refers to this), PDF reader, web page three musketeers, flash, etc., these are Adobe products.

However, in the confirmation of the identity of the hacker, except for analyzing the IP address of the hacker to launch the attack, it was from a foreign country in Southeast Asia, and nothing was obtained.

The lost confidential documents have also been confirmed to be classified, which is not very serious, which is probably a blessing in misfortune.

It's just that the chief of the highest cyber security is very annoyed, every time he attacks like this, he doesn't know who the opponent is, so that you have a body of martial arts, but there is nowhere to stretch, which is really aggrieved.

Instead, the intelligence services have analyzed the biggest possible enemy, and that is China. There are two reasons for the intelligence department: first, according to past experience, mining IE0Day and PDF0Day has always been the strength of Chinese hackers; Second, Feng Yueying was a Chinese before, and after becoming a British citizen, he has always maintained close contact with China's security community, and it is entirely possible for Chinese hackers to rescue him.

So the intelligence department came to the conclusion that either the Chinese hackers were rescuing Maple Moon Shadow, or the Chinese side was stealing secrets in the name of rescuing Maple Moon Shadow.

This conclusion is very contradictory, if the Chinese side really wants to steal secrets, how can it use the banner of rescuing Feng Yueying, it is simply three hundred taels of silver here, plus covering up and stealing bells.

However, the pressure on the British political axe this year is too great, and they urgently need to find an excuse to show their network deterrence, the previous ZM is not afraid of any deterrence at all, and the matter of the Rebirth Organization is because of the extradition of McKinnon, the British political axe will definitely not use its own sore feet to make a fuss, and the current theft incident has become a good excuse.

The intelligence department's analysis was quickly confirmed, and the cyber security department launched a deterrent operation accordingly!
