Chapter 779: Targeting Us?

In the follow-up self-investigation, the company's technicians found more traces of hacker attacks, and many internal materials were very likely to be stolen by hackers.

At the same time, Ryan also contacted the FBI through his own channels.

Cybercrime has been around since the eighties and nineties, and the FBI has a department dedicated to dealing with such cases, and after a short investigation, they quickly confirmed that it was a hacking attack, but there was no clue where the other party came from.

Others may not think so, but Ryan is aware of the severity of this kind of incident, this is the first time that hackers have attacked Hollywood on a large scale, and it's hard to say that other hackers won't follow suit in the future, after all, celebrity privacy and scandal are topics of interest to all the public.

On top of that, Ryan never believed it was just a simple hacking incident.

When did the scandal that broke out in Hollywood not have a big hand behind him, and he was very suspicious that the other party was targeting more than just Richard? Nanura, most likely the whole Miramax, or even ......

After the FBI intervened, Ryan convened a meeting of executives from various Disney departments and labels, highlighting cybersecurity issues, strictly restricting insiders' use of the Internet to communicate the company's private information, as well as opinions about certain celebrities and public figures, especially discriminatory remarks, and prohibiting them from appearing on the company's internal network.

In addition to solemnly telling Taylor, Scarlett and others to pay attention to privacy, Ryan also talked to Robert? Iger and others discussed the establishment of a special image consultant department within Disney to teach those Disney youth idols who have little cultural literacy how to maintain their image as much as possible in the Internet age.

Disney's Zach? Efron, Miley? Cyrus and Selena? Gomez and others are eating the bowl of rice of youth idols, and if something breaks out that shouldn't appear. It will definitely affect Disney's income on them.

Of course, if Disney abandons them in the future, and these youth idols choose to fall or something else, that's something their agents and PR teams need to consider.

It turns out that Ryan's worries are not unnecessary, just when the FBI is still investigating, there is a new movement on the network again, the person or organization that should be a hacker has once again exposed Miramax's top-secret information, this time the unlucky person is Quentin's turn? Tastino.

This is the director who is the most enjoyable to work with Miramax, and the hacker is not Quentin? The scandal in Tastino. Rather, it was a new project with Miramax, and they uploaded Quentin's new script — a story about World War II and Hitler — directly to the Internet.

The script is exposed, and it is likely that the project will be forcibly cut.

Luckily, what Quentin wrote was just a very simple script framework, not even a first draft, otherwise Miramax would have really cried.

But even if this is the case, the millions of dollars invested in revising the script and the upfront investment will inevitably be wasted.

The whole of Hollywood is in an uproar, and many companies are no longer paying attention with the mentality of watching the excitement. This has touched the bottom line of the whole of Hollywood, there are too many things that each production company cannot see, today Miramax's script leaked, who knows if it will be their turn tomorrow?

Along with the leak of the script. And the identity of the hacker, a white supremacist group calling itself the 'Aryan Nation', declared to be interested in Richard? Nanurla was responsible for the leak of the script, and at the same time explained the main reason for the hacking attack - Richard? Nanura is an executive of African descent. Miramax is the standard Hollywood Jewish Power corporation.

They claim to have a lot of secret information about Miramax, and warn Miramax that it is better to cancel the movie release plan in the near future, otherwise more shady content will be revealed.

"Cancel the planned release of a movie in the near future?"

Tap lightly on your desk. Ryan pressed the intercom and said to the secretary desk, "Jane, send me a copy of Miramax's release plan for this year." ”

A few minutes later, the female secretary pushed the door in and placed Miramax's release schedule on the desk, Ryan took it and skimmed through it first, then looked at it carefully.

Produced by Miramax and distributed by Warner Bros., "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has long been released, which is just a simple and brainless commercial film, and there is not much controversy.

Jessica? Alba's "Fatal Surgery" was released this month, and it seems that the response is very average.

Robert? Rodriguez and Quentin? Tarantino's "The Torture Room" is a traditional B-grade film, although it has not been released, but the film has been seen in the previous life, and it is unlikely that there will be much difference in the present life, and it should not touch the sensitive nerves of white supremacy.

The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men", which was distributed by Patrick and produced by Miramax.

And then...... It is two films produced by Disney Pictures and distributed by Miramax, which will go straight to next year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and other awards.

It was also Ryan, Hollywood, and the federal government that responded strongly to another protest in Iran.

Iranian female cartoonist and illustrator Maja? "I Grew Up in Iran" directed by Shatabi and the Iranian director Askha, who was expelled from the country by the Iranian government? "A Farewell" by Farhati.

The former will be released in October; The latter will be released in theaters starting in early November and will be released on a large scale in North America and around the world after the New Year......

Compared with the former's animated films, which are full of commercial flavor, Asha? Farhaty's "A Farewell" is heading for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and with today's international politics, it is not difficult to win the Best Foreign Language Film.

The two films combined the investment of Warner Bros., Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures, as well as some sponsorship from the federal government, and it was also Ryan's idea to hand over the distribution and operation of Miramax, after all, Disney's main goal is "Black Swan", and it is impossible to spread its resources too much and take care of too much.

It's just that a hacker group with a white supremacy purpose would care about these two films?

Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head and set his sights on "The Torture Room", which was released during Halloween, and the other party exposed Quentin? Will Tarantino's future film scripts have anything to do with his films?

Call Harvey? Weinstein's phone. Ryan said a few words to the big Jewish fat man, and then frowned.

From Harvey? According to Weinstein's words and the FBI's preliminary investigation, the other party must have a lot of information about Miramax, and can even cause more trouble to Miramax, but the movie release plan is postponed or canceled, and Miramax also suffers a huge loss.

Not to mention the liquidated damages in the theater chain, the tens of millions of publicity and marketing expenses invested alone will all be lost.

The most important thing is that if you compromise with them for the first time, there will inevitably be a second time.

Anti-Semitism, white supremacy, racial discrimination, and class tensions, the seemingly powerful United States is rife with problems. These questions are directly fed back to Hollywood, the largest publicity window in the United States.

Then, George walked in, and Rodriguez also had preliminary findings, and the 'broilers' used by the hackers were from Mexico and Venezuela, and it would be difficult to track down their real locations in the short term.

South america...... There are also many problems in the back garden of the United States.

After a few words of advice to George, Ryan left the Disney building and drove straight to North Hollywood, where Natalie hosted a party at her home, attended by almost all of Hollywood's well-known Jews.

Natalie is smart. did not rely solely on Disney's public relations, and gave full play to the advantages of his own ethnicity and bloodline.

"Any clues?"

In the open-air party of the garden, after Ryan's simple entertainment, Natalie walked over. "What is their real purpose?" in a low voice. ”

"It's supposed to be against us."

Although Ryan didn't say it explicitly, Natalie also knew that 'we' was referring to the Jewish power, "Do we need to unite more people?" ”

"Not at the moment." Ryan shook his head.

Now I haven't even figured out the true identity and purpose of the other party. Countermeasures can only stay at the stage of anti-vision.

"Mom."

Hearing Natalie's words, Ryan quickly turned around and politely greeted the middle-aged woman who came over. "Hello, Lady Shelly."

"Ryan, we haven't seen each other in years, haven't we?" Mrs. Herchler's words were not at all polite, she could not control her independent and stubborn daughter, but she always had a grudge against some people, "You haven't been to Long Island for a long time." ”

Any explanation would be superfluous, and Ryan wisely chose to remain silent, allowing Mrs. Herschler to vent her frustration with a gun and a stick.

"Mom." Natalie pulled her mother down, "Someone's coming." ”

The person who came over was Scarlett? Johnson, she politely greeted Natalie's mother, and then asked Ryan directly, "Do you need us to do anything?" ”

In addition to the friendship they have established over the years, they are also a community of interests, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as both prosperous and loss-making.

"We need money...... Ryan joked deliberately, "So, Scarlett, donate all your net worth." ”

"As long as you need." Scarlett rolled her eyes at him.

Mrs. Herschler suddenly spoke, "Nat, if there is something that needs help, even though I have not much contact with your father, your grandfather and grandmother still had some influence back then. ”

Even though she was facing Natalie, Ryan knew he was saying this to himself, "Thank you." ”

After glancing at this, Mrs. Herchler no longer had the friendliness she had been with him, and turned away.

Ryan believed that if it weren't for the hacker group's targeting of Jewish forces, Mrs. Hirschler would not have said such a thing at all.

"Will Miramax delay the release of the movie?" Natalie and Scarlett asked with concern.

"No, we're not going to compromise on that kind of thing." Ryan didn't allow that to happen, either, "I communicated with the Weinstein brothers that the Miramax movie would be released on time." ”

Even in an open West, ethnicity and blood can bring a lot of convenience, but while enjoying these conveniences, you also have to bear the responsibility of maintaining this group. (To be continued......)
