"Now, if you can't get rid of the intruder's blockade, the fastest way to restore the function as soon as possible is to rewrite the server program, in which case ......"

At the meeting, an employee of the technical department, while discussing the problem at hand, made such a suggestion.

In response, Thomas Sindora, who was sitting on the side of the conference table, clasped his hands in front of him, closed his eyes with a majestic face, and did not respond.

Then, after looking at the chairman who did not react, other staff members also put forward other opinions:

"If that's the case, you'll have to disconnect the server first, and the duplicate program will also take time, so how will the final game time be calculated?"

"At this time, there is such a big problem, of course, we can only temporarily suspend the game, and wait for the security work to strengthen the server again, and then hold it on a later date."

Another staff member of the planning department said.

"And now the pressure on the technical department is very high, in addition to the fact that someone has successfully invaded the server, there are many people who are eyeing the server, and the people in the technical department can't stop for a moment, I feel that in the face of so many hackers, we are already a little understaffed!"

At this point, a department head continued.

"I don't think there's any need to stop the game, most of the hackers are blocked by the existing firewall so far, and only one person has managed to hack into the server and lock the answering function, so that the score will not change. I think that the other party must be at the top of the leaderboard now, so we don't need to waste manpower on defense, we can choose to take the initiative to attack, lock the IP of the top eight teams on the leaderboard for counterattack, and we will definitely be able to find the intruder. When the time comes, just recover your data and get the game going. ”

At this time, there were other people in the technical department who put forward a different point of view.

As a result, the discussion at the meeting became more intense and complex, with a variety of points of view.

But the noisy ones have their own positions, and no one can convince anyone, and the technical department does not dare to say that the expected results will be achieved by packing up the several plans they put forward.

In this way, when the argument was endless, the rare Asian staff, the Kashimura at this time, after carefully reading the data situation after the server was opened with the laptop in his hand, suddenly spoke-

"Everyone, I think we don't have to worry about this situation!"

So, as these words were spoken, Chairman Thomas Sindora, who had been sitting without speaking and seemed to be contemplating at the closing, finally opened his eyes and looked at Kashimura, who was speaking at this time.

And this time, seeing that the chairman finally reacted, many voices that were arguing before couldn't help but go down, and most of the people present also looked towards Kashimura-

"Originally, the 'World Hacker Contest' was also an attempt to test the security status of the major projects that our company was going to release next, but now the results are basically in line with the initial expectations, and after combining the technology of our company and the Tokiwa Group, most of the hackers are blocked from our newly developed firewall and cannot invade the server."

Kashimura continued, but this was booed by most of the European and American staff present, after all, the fact at the moment was that the firewall developed by someone had successfully broken into it after combining the technology of the Japanese company.

But in this regard, Kashimura continued expressionlessly:

"At present, there is only one hacker who can quietly and successfully invade the server so quickly, and also deliberately lock the answering function, so that we are aware of his existence. Moreover, looking at his methods, it is a bit like the mysterious hacker who disappeared after a flash in the pan and intruded into the servers of three giant companies! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of some of the technicians present couldn't help but become solemn.

Without much explanation, Kashimura immediately said:

"Therefore, I think that the only hacker who can break through our existing firewall in a short period of time should be the mysterious hacker, and the other hackers don't need to worry too much. And now, since the mysterious hacker has made a move in this qualifier, he will definitely leave his team on the leaderboard to participate in our offline tournament, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to have the opportunity to let the mysterious hacker help improve our server?

"So, I don't think we have to do anything, just wait for the end result. After all, the hacker contest is a competition of hacking technology, and being able to hack into the server so quickly to modify our data has already shown the ability of the other party! ”

So, as these words came out, the discussion at the meeting became lively again-

"How can you be sure that mysterious hacker will make it to the finals?"

At this time, listening to Kashimura's analysis, Thomas Sindora finally spoke with a serious expression.

In this regard, Kagamura affirmed:

"I investigated the reason why the mysterious hacker took over commissions on the dark web, and the value of those commissions was probably less than a million dollars. And he's only shot that once. So I don't think that hacker would have done anything like that if it hadn't been forced by life. But right now, we have tens of millions of dollars in prize money.

"So, if it's such a mysterious hacker who has the skills but has nowhere to use it, and can only make a fortune on the dark web and disappear, he shouldn't miss this opportunity."
