Chapter 201: SLOP's Revenge
"No, it won't. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info because it didn't cause real damage to the country. "And according to records, 96 percent of the intrusions into this website came from abroad." Less than four percent of the population is within the borders. ā
Mr. Huang continued: "Most domestic hackers naturally choose overseas logos, but not their own. This can be regarded as an alternative patriotic performance! ā
Lieutenant Colonel Huang frowned. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. We checked the link addresses for each identified one by one. While each address is individual, the vast majority of them are SLOP's own addresses and can still be considered part of the game. There are only a few real addresses mixed in. But it also includes those government agencies that secretly support them. Why is that? ā
"To confuse the public?" It was said. At this time, a young man in the meeting interjected, "They are a terrorist organization, and anyone can be their target!" ā
"No," said Lieutenant Colonel Huang, "it's almost impossible to hide secrets in those web addresses. There is a good chance that this is a trap, some conspiracy is hidden. ā
I said, "Then shouldn't we notify the netizens who participated in the game and quit immediately?" Don't fall into their trap. ā
Lieutenant Colonel Huang pondered for a moment, "The opinion of the headquarters is that the current situation of the struggle is extremely complex and severe. We are asked to wait and see what happens, and not to startle the snake. So Mo Huaiyu, you can convey your opinion in your own circle in your own name, but don't make a big fuss. Finally, he said, "You should understand that hacking is not protected by law. As a hacker, you should know what you are doing, what the consequences will be, and what responsibilities you should bear. ā
The next day, I took the high-speed train home, and in the evening I sent my words on the train to all the old students I knew who participated in the game. I don't need their gratitude, as long as they don't take the opportunity to scold me.
But no one replied that day. Are they transparent when I am? On the third day, I sent the message again. Soon received a reply: "Linfeng, your advice is too late. Didn't you read yesterday's news? The matter has become a diplomatic affair. ā
I hurried to check the news from the previous day. Sure enough, there was a news headline: "Country X accuses our country of hacking into the website of its government agency to steal intelligence, and my spokesman dismisses it as nonsense." "But when you open the page, it's all about the press conference, and it doesn't contain more information than the headline. And after watching the news, I couldn't relate it to the events in front of me. If we talk about stealing intelligence, it's SLOP's doing, what does it have to do with the people who participate in its game?
But that's not the end of the story. Less than a week later, new news arrived. The government of country X announced criminal charges against twelve hackers in our country who allegedly hacked its website and issued red notices. Flying Fox and Sega are on the list.
A chill ran down my back. All twelve were involved in the previous operation against SLOP. SLOP's revenge has finally come, and in such a way.
The inside of the forum has been fried. The scolding was endless. Someone commented: "In our own country, are we still afraid of its wanted?" ā
But soon someone revealed their suffering. Like Sega, he had already contacted to study abroad and even booked a plane ticket. Now his study abroad plan has come to naught. "Then don't go abroad. Why do you have to go abroad? "Someone said.
Someone else asked, "How do they know who's on the Internet?" ā
"How did they not know? Twelve people's names, addresses, photographs, and dates of birth are correct. ā
"Who betrayed this information? Catch this traitor! ā
I felt breathless, so I walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the city at night. I'm secretly glad I didn't fall into their trap. But is this the way it should be? It's like witnessing the death of your comrades on the battlefield and rejoicing that you're alive. Besides, the fact that they didn't attack me doesn't prove that they didn't target me.
I thought of my mother, who was far away across the ocean, and suddenly worried about her safety, and I didn't feel a dull pain in my heart.
That night, I dreamed again of the child in the diaper, lying on a body that looked like a naked plastic model, trying to suck milk. The body had no hands, no legs, and no eyes. When I woke up, I felt very uncomfortable.
Since the news of being wanted by Country X, there has been no trace of those twelve people in the VR world. There are various speculations about their disappearance. Some say they are protected, others say they have gone incognito and changed identities.
One day, I suddenly received a warning message from Principal Tianlun, reminding me not to use VR equipment to enter the athletic school that night. What's going on? I immediately went online from the VR200's online computer to ask Tianlun what was going on.
"Huaiyu, we got information from reliable sources. It is likely that SLOP will carry out a retaliatory attack on us tonight. The first target may be the Ching Yang Athletic School. In order to avoid accidental injuries that VR devices may cause to users, we have issued a warning to every user of VR series products. ā
"Is it more reliable to temporarily shut down Veken's VR network service?"
"If we shut down the server, SLOP will find another time to attack. There is no escape from this conflict. Then he said, "We've shut down Maple Grove Mirage and cut off the corporate network from the athletic school." The athletic school has now become an island. ā
I asked, "Are we going to give up on competitive schools?" ā
"Of course not. The athletic school carries the painstaking efforts of Han Qingyang and the martyrs of Shui Ling, Tianshan Snow Lotus and two generations of technicians of Veken Company. What's more, there are also shadows of snow lotus, phoenix and water spirit. How can you say give up and give up? ā
He continued, "And the company's software department is also looking to take this opportunity to test the strength of our protection technology." There is already a professional team stationed in the main control room of the athletic school server. However, compared to the scale of the attack that SLOP may launch, we are a little weak. ā
"So what can I do?" I asked, "After all, I'm part of an athletic school." ā
"Huaiyu, if you want to do your part, just make sure your two shadows are activated and let them participate in the battle to defend the school. There are now more than seventy figures active among the school's instructors and new and old students, including Yanni and Yinghong, who have left. You can also manipulate your two shadows from the computer. If the shadow body is injured and dies in the middle of it, you can activate it again. I don't recommend going into VR equipment, though. After all, VR equipment itself is dangerous. ā
"Principal Tianlun, didn't we strengthen the protective measures of VR equipment last year? and defend against SLOP's attack. ā
