Chapter 610: Dirty Water

"The network equipment produced by Pan Han Group is not impeccable in terms of security. However, please note that most of the three cases of cyber leaks that have occurred so far have been brought about by technological advances. ”

Zhou Shuo's face was frosty, he didn't think that the hearings of the US Congress would be biased, but he really didn't expect that they would be so shameless.

It is normal for the system to have vulnerabilities, and no system dares to say that its security mechanism is foolproof. Not to mention the vulnerabilities of Windows, Liunx or Unix, or even Sun's Solaris and Apple's MACOS, who dares to say that they are absolutely foolproof?

However, system bugs and system backdoors are completely different concepts, system bugs are technical strength problems, while system backdoors are design problems. System bugs are inevitable, but system backdoors can be avoided.

But it is clear that the intelligence committee of the US House of Representatives is determined to confuse the two.

It is estimated that tomorrow's news will come out, and many newspapers will have a headline on the front page of the headline: The Chinese company Fanhan Group admits that the network equipment it produces has security risks.

Isn't it the media's ability to take quotes out of context and distort facts?

Zhou Shuo sneered in his heart, no matter how you answer, this kind of dirty water is basically impossible to avoid. In that case, why bother with what the media says? Later, when the United States broke out the prism door, the dogs all knew that these American high-tech companies cooperated with the U.S. government to steal user information, and Cisco's equipment could not be sold?

Network equipment is a systematic project, when 80% of the routers of the entire network are produced by a single enterprise, anyone who wants to change the door will face the problem of sudden increase in costs.

As long as Zlink's network equipment continues to gain ground in the United States. As long as there is no obstacle to the promotion of WIFI technology, is it really the three strains of oral liquid that was sued and collapsed?

in this market. After all, we still have to rely on technology and strength to speak.

But no matter what, Zhou Shuo still had to explain things clearly. Whether it works or not. It is impossible for people to think that Pan Han Group is a submissive enterprise.

"In the case of the theft of Max & Co. in Buffalo, New York, the hackers' modus operandi is typical of social engineering. It took him two weeks to become boyfriend and girlfriend with the company's cybersecurity officer, and then he obtained the Max & Co. senior management rights password, which led to several thefts. ”

"We will leave this case aside for the time being, and the second case, the theft of customer data from Bank of America in Charlotte, North Carolina, is due to the latest research into the DCII encryption algorithm. Using the latest research of the DCII algorithm, the hackers deciphered this previously foolproof encryption. Soon after the incident, we contacted Zlink to upgrade the system of devices that were using this algorithm across the United States. ”

"Third case, Massachusetts Institute of Technology......"

Zhou Shuo talked eloquently and refuted the cases mentioned in several reports in his hand one by one. Although he did not overturn the committee's accusations against the security of Pan Han Group's network equipment, he clearly expressed the vexatious and justified nature of such accusations, and his grievances were overflowing.

"It is impossible for any enterprise in the world to produce network equipment that is 100% secure. There is a human element here. There are technological advances, and there are system vulnerabilities that are discovered. However, I can responsibly say that there is no intentional structural flaw in the network equipment of Pan Han Group, which makes the system appear abnormal security threats......"

"Alright. Please make a note of it. ”

On the high platform, Mr. Chairman of the Committee, in the center, pouted his head and said to the clerk: "The chairman of the Pan Han Group confessed to the safety of its products and admitted that it was at risk of losing several information. ”

"Let's move on to the next investigation. With regard to the use of the wrong type of visa by the Panhan Group to allow its employees to enter the country, we have the evidence that we have ......"

American. It should be accurate to say that Cisco is clearly prepared. The first few questions are either true cases or traps that make people indestructible. This practice of accumulating small wins into big wins. But it shines with the greatness of great men and the greatness of their thoughts. But when this brilliant tactic is applied to one's own people, it is not so rosy.

Except for the first security issue that the hearing committee brought out, it was relatively strict, and the rest were all real things. For example, the problem of visa error is indeed due to business urgency, and the Pan Han Group has replaced business visas with tourist visas. But you can't do it if you're not in a hurry, the encryption algorithm has been cracked, and the system upgrade is a matter of time!

There are also cases where Chinese employees inadvertently break the law because they do not understand U.S. law, which is unavoidable.

More than a dozen of these cases are piled up, and they are all minor problems, but they give people a different feeling.

Zhou Shuo couldn't help frowning, looked left and right at the colleagues around him, and everyone's morale was also greatly hit. The accusations are detailed and complicated, and the bureaus of investigation, immigration and the NSA alternate in turn, and the lengthy meetings are irritating but have to follow the rhythm of others.

This feeling of being involuntary is really terrible to be honest.

At the beginning of the hearing, he was passively beaten, even if Zhou Shuo had been mentally prepared before, he still felt tricky.

What's the solution? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Do you want to walk away at a hearing in the US Congress? Toyota's eldest man will not dare to do this in the future, and the relationship between people and Americans is much better than Zhou Shuo.

"In summary, our House Intelligence Committee believes that U.S. companies should refrain from dealing with Pan Han if they are concerned about intellectual property, customer privacy, and national security. Prevent it from making acquisitions in the United States, and the government and military communications systems should not continue to use network equipment manufactured by Pan Han. ”

Zhou Shuo glared at the committee members on the stage, and couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Honorable members of the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, this is the conclusion you have reached?" Is it just because of a few mistakes, the personal behavior of the employees, and the lack of security accusations that zài exists? ”

"Please calm down, Mr. Zhou Shuo."

The chairman of the committee knocked on the table with a wooden mallet and said sternly: "Our committee has more and more detailed information in our hands, pointing out that the Pan-Han Group poses a serious threat to the national security of the United States. It's just that the information involved in this information is very sensitive, and we have decided not to disclose it for the time being......"

"Your suspicions are unfounded, and if you have any accusations of sufficient weight that can be substantiated, please present the evidence now. We are currently the world's largest supplier of network equipment, and if only the current accusations are to exclude us from the U.S. market, then I don't think any multinational company will be clean! ”

"If there is not enough evidence for the Intelligence Committee to issue such a conclusion, then we can only file a lawsuit. This is the U.S. Congress's blatant interference in normal business practices, and it is artificially creating business panic! ”

The chairman of the committee on the stage was silent for a moment, and it was of course impossible to sue the US Congress in a US court. But as one of the richest people in the world, if Zhou Shuo bites him personally, it will not be a pleasant experience. The identity of a member of the House of Representatives is a talisman of Zhang, but it is impossible to keep him for the rest of his life.

Think about a multi-billion-dollar corporation that is on the opposite side of him, and his opponents are going crazy. Not much, maybe a few million dollars, and the next time he will say goodbye to his status as a member of the House of Representatives.

When the time comes, if the Panhan Group goes to him again, for example, if he makes inappropriate remarks while he is a member of parliament, or if he makes a mistake in his work on the committee......

Thinking about it this way, he looked at the so-called "evidence" before, and it was really a little unreliable!

He tilted his head and discussed with the members of the intelligence committee around him, and then said: "Since the Pan Han Group has made a request to disclose the evidence, after discussion, we believe that we can disclose some of it." ”

"The Commission received an internal document from a former employee of the Pan Han Group showing that the Pan Han Group had provided and could still provide special web services to an entity. The employee believes that this entity is an elite cyber warfare unit of the People's Liberation Army. The potential security risks such as spy code in the network equipment of the Pan Han Group are not only for the purpose of serving this cyber warfare force. ”

"Nonsense!"

Damn, how does this Yankee know? Zhou Shuo immediately thought of the special real room in the Pan Han Research Institute. The cooperation with the military is extremely secretive, and it stands to reason that only the researchers within the real room, the senior management of the research institute, and a few senior executives of the group will know about it. Is it the Americans who are crooked, or is there really an internal ghost?

Although he had already turned over the river and the sea in his heart, Zhou Shuo's face was not exposed at all. He said righteously: "Pan Han Group's network equipment is supplied to more than 90 countries in the world, and 65% of the revenue from network equipment sales comes from overseas markets. Our source code is completely open and shared, and none of our customers suspect that our products are set up with spy code! ”

"I can say that responsibly!"

"Pan Han Group has no connection with the Chinese military, we are a private enterprise, and we will never be subject to any domination by the Chinese government and military!" (To be continued......)
