Chapter 922: The Boss Is Caught! The hacker world is shaken! (1/4)
Today is definitely an extraordinary day for hackers who are active on the dark web.
With the "Lunar Hadron Collider Symposium being held in Beijing" and "Five Billion US Dollars" as the fuse, the well-known North American hacker group "Predator Eagle" declared war on the Chinese Internet.
In less than 12 hours, more than 50 websites were paralyzed or their domain names hijacked, and more than 20 companies reported losses of more than $500,000.
Seeing that the war was further expanding, just when everyone was ready to watch the show and eat melons, this war without gunpowder came to an abrupt end.
Yes, it just came to an abrupt end.
Not only that, but several well-known IDs that were originally active in the hacker circle are gone, and I don't know whether they fled or retired, in short, they disappeared from the dark web as if they had evaporated from the world.
Especially the BOSS person.
Even aside from the organization of the Predator Eagle, he is also one of the most skilled in the hacker circle, and the FBI has been looking for him for so many years and cannot find his whereabouts, which is enough to show how strong his ability is.
However, now this person seems to have been erased from the Internet, not only has there been no response to the trading posts on the black market, but the personal technical blog has also stopped updating, and the personal forum is directly "not-found".
It's like there's a paranormal event......
A well-known Internet technology exchange forum in a certain circle on the dark web.
Many scholars engaged in information security technology, white hats serving well-known Internet companies, or black hats who still don't have a golden basin to wash their hands, all have their own vests on the forum, and from time to time exchange some industry news or exchange technology.
Because the predator eagle's declaration of war on the Chinese Internet this time was particularly big, almost half of the people on the forum were discussing this matter, so the moderator simply pulled out an independent section for the topic......
Does anyone know what's going on? 】
[It's been 1 hour, have those "birds" given up?] 】
[No, it seems that 1 hour ago, I saw that the defense on Huaguo's side was still very passive, basically tired of fighting fires, and they had no reason to prevent such a big advantage from not taking advantage of the victory to pursue, but retreating. 】
[Which boss has the BOSS's mailbox?] Why don't you ask what the big guy is doing now? It's all started to fight, so you can't just leave it at that. 】
[It is said that he was caught.] 】
After this news came out, there was silence in the post for a while.
It took more than ten minutes before a reply broke the silence.
[Impossible, right?] 】
[Yes, he's a boss! I've seen him make the ATM on 14th Street on Long Island, New York, spit out money, and the FBI hasn't found anyone else for so many years, so there's no reason to get caught, right? 】
[That's it.] 】
Almost no one believed that this veteran of the hacker circle, who had been in the hacker circle for many years, was so defeated on the battlefield in the western Pacific.
In the eyes of the vast majority of insiders, even if the "little birds" of the predatory eagle fail to show their feet, they will at most lie dormant for a while, and when the limelight passes, they will resurface.
It's too difficult to locate a highly skilled and experienced hacker in the three-dimensional world.
Especially for a big bull like the boss, as long as he doesn't want to be caught, it's almost impossible to get caught.
Just when everyone was talking about what earth-shattering moves the members of the Predatory Eagle were planning, a news item published in an unknown evening newspaper in Los Angeles not only slapped everyone in the face, but also made everyone who was paying attention to the latest development of the incident almost drop their jaws to the ground......
"Stolen Goods! The boss of the well-known criminal organization "Predatory Eagle" has been arrested! 》
As soon as the news came out......
The entire hacker circle is boiling!!
……
Since receiving the email in the middle of the night, the focus of the 2.17 Mega Cybercrime Serious Crime Team has changed from strengthening defenses to investigating the IPs revealed in the email.
While there are many suspicions about the origin of the email, it seems that this is the only clue they have now.
Especially after seeing the ID of Dr. Z, Director Li seemed to understand something, and patted Director Hong on the chest and assured that if he followed the clues provided by this email, he would definitely find out something useful.
Although I don't really believe in the opinion of this layman from the Bureau of Science and Industry, after all, the official is not only a senior who can crush people to death, but Director Hong still paid enough attention to it and did what Director Li said.
It is not easy to detect foreign IPs, especially if there is not enough evidence, and the police in the country where the parties are located may not cooperate with the police, but when they find that an IP is actually located in China, all the problems seem to be solved.
Director Hong immediately called and reported the news to the Ministry of Public Security, contacted the local police station through the Ministry of Public Security, and after 20 minutes of investigation and round-up, he locked down and captured the hacker whose ID was "child" on the spot.
It was a surprise to everyone.
is completely different from the name of the ID, and the hacker who was captured does not match the word "child" no matter how you look at it, and obviously looks like a middle-aged uncle in his thirties.
According to the neighbors who woke up quietly to see the bustle, the suspect has been unemployed at home for many years, and his family background is not very rich, but it seems that he is not short of money on weekdays.
In the home of this "child", the police easily searched the electronic backup used to commit the crime, as well as the laptop computer and mobile phone used by him.
Through the investigation of his social account, the police found that the person involved in the case not only likes to make some anti-social remarks, but also has extreme hatred towards the country and organizations.
According to his confession, he has been brought into a hacker group called "Predatory Eagle" by the BOSS since last year, and has provided the organization with a number of "broilers" located in the territory to use as a springboard for cyber attacks.
As for the motive for the crime, there is no need to ask at all, naturally it is to vent his dissatisfaction with society......
……
At four o'clock in the evening, it was already dawn.
Director Hong, who was drinking coffee, looked at Director Li and asked, "Do you know that Dr. Z?" ”
Blowing the heat on the thermos cup, Director Li, who stayed up late, became more energetic and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, in fact, I'm not sure if I know him or not." ”
Not sure if you don't know it?
"Then how can you be sure that he must be right......" Suddenly realizing something, Director Hong coughed, "Of course, it turns out that he is indeed right, out of the protection of the whistleblower, I have no intention of inquiring about his identity, just a little curious, I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer my confusion." ”
Director Li: "Actually, there is no special reason, the reason why I believe him is because he has helped us. ”
Director Hong frowned inexplicably and asked, "Helped us?" ”
"That was about half a year ago," Director Li, who was holding a thermos cup in his hand, continued in a nostalgic voice, "Just half a year ago, the Ares Project poked a big basket, and out of humanitarian principles, we launched a spacecraft to Mars......"
The old man's voice telling a story rang out in the office.
From the rescue of Mars to the invasion of Martian bacteria, Director Li became more and more excited, and even put down the thermos cup in his hand and gestured with his hands with emotion.
It wasn't until the sound of snoring sounded in the office that he stopped talking in embarrassment, stopped talking......
