Lu Zhou swore that if he knew which unlucky kid did this, he would put his photo on the school's official website for a year …
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
First of all, the school wouldn't let him do this.
Second of all, after understanding the real situation, Lu Zhou found out that this cyber attack wasn't as simple as he had imagined …
Beijing National Hotel.
In a small business conference room, Lu Zhou met with Director Li, who had just finished a meeting. He briefly learned about the situation from him.
"What's the reaction from the US side?"
"The US side is also confused. Director Carson found me early this morning and clarified to us that this matter has nothing to do with the federal government. They said that a hostile force was trying to destroy the friendship between China and the US and launched a cyber terrorist attack … To be honest, they received the news so quickly, which made me wonder if they were behind this. But then I thought about it carefully, they probably wouldn't do something so stupid."
Lu Zhou: "…"
What the hell is a hostile force?
Several superpowers are sitting here negotiating, what hostile force could there be?
Aliens?
Director Li took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat. He said, "I reported the relevant information to the relevant departments … But it seems to be too late."
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and asked, "What's the damage?"
Director Li said with a serious expression, "So far, the official websites of Everyone Daily, CCTV, and other official media organizations have recovered from the paralysis, but new media servers were attacked … The Internet Surveillance Bureau is still trying to salvage the situation. Although the person responsible for responding to the attack said that it wasn't difficult to resolve the attack, the problem is that no one knows where they will attack next. "
This was the most troublesome part for the Internet Surveillance Bureau.
In a cyber war where the hostile force was unknown, the passive defensive party would always be in a weak position.
It would be fine if the other party had a clear motive for the attack, such as revenge against a certain company, for economic benefits, etc. As long as they knew the other party's motive, they only needed to set up a line of defense and wait for the other party to attack. But if the other party's attack was indiscriminate, there was no way to defend. They could only fight back after the other party attacked.
It was just like "killing a random person on the street". There was no way to prevent this kind of crime.
After listening to Director Li's description, Lu Zhou's intuition told him that this was an organized cyber attack. However, he still didn't understand how this would benefit those people.
"What do they want?"
"They want to force us to disband the International Lunar Hadron Collider Conference … I think they just added that they want us to fire you."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "If it's only the last condition, I can reluctantly satisfy them."
Director Li said sternly: "Don't even think about it! Even if you don't want to do it, don't take it too hard! If you really do that, do you know what the consequences will be? I'm afraid we'll have to... "
"Alright, alright, alright. I got it. I was just joking. Of course, we can't satisfy their demands, not even by a millimeter …"
This guy couldn't take a joke …
Lu Zhou tried to calm Director Li down. He thought for a bit and said, "Is there any good way to deal with this?"
Director Li said, "The problem is that there isn't … We have contacted the Americans, hoping that they can cooperate with our investigation. However, the Americans don't seem to be very enthusiastic. They only said that if we can provide enough evidence and the suspect is in the United States, they will cooperate with us to arrest the criminal and give us a satisfactory verdict."
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "The key is to catch the criminal."
Director Li: "Yes, we can only end this cyber war if we find the culprit's identity. Otherwise, even if we defeat them in a short period of time, all they have to do is change their equipment and they can come back at any time. "
Lu Zhou: "Okay then, I'll think of a way."
"You?" Director Li smiled and shook his head. "Leave this matter to us. I'm just telling you to be careful not to put important personal information or academic materials on the Internet. This is a critical time, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything to you."
Lu Zhou: "…"
I already did it, okay?
They photoshopped my photo and posted it on the official website!
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "I can't do that, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The more powerful you are, the greater your responsibility. If they don't mess with me, then I won't be able to face the Lu family."
Director Li: "…?"
Lu Zhou looked at the muddled old man and said, "Anyway, I won't forgive them!"
Director Li had a look of disbelief on his face. He shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, with your programming skills … Don't cause trouble. We have already sent a cyber warfare team from the Eastern Theater of Operations to the Internet Surveillance Bureau office. We are ready to fight a protracted war with those rats."
Director Li looked at Lu Zhou and spoke with sincerity.
"As for you, I still hope that you can focus on this seminar. You represent the entire China academic community and the Lunar Orbit Committee. Your performance will determine the attitude of scholars from other countries! "
…
A protracted war was an act of helplessness, or rather, an act of necessity.
If the other party was in China, it would be fine. Major network operators and electronic equipment suppliers had backdoors. They could just find the IP address and arrest the person.
But the problem was that the opponent was outside of China, and it was rumored that the person was a master on the dark web.
Even though people had never heard of the name "Eagle Hunter" before, after this incident came out, the name went viral on the Chinese Internet.
Even though most people were cursing them …
[F * ck, these Americans are going too far! Where are our hackers? Let's teach them a lesson! (angry) (angry)]
[What kind of hackers are there anymore? They're either recruited by the relevant departments or working for BAT. (sigh)]
[I heard that a cyberwarfare unit in a certain theater of operations has begun to take action. They're going to teach those b * stards a lesson soon!]
[I think this battle is going to be difficult. We're out in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. Unless we make every website's security system as secure as Alipay, they'll just have to pick a random website.]
[F * ck! These Americans are so bored, why don't they do something else? What's the point of hacking a few websites?]
[Haha, imperialism doesn't give up. I'm afraid they have the support of the American government …]
After Director Li left, Lu Zhou went back to his hotel room. He opened Weibo and saw that the words "Eagle Hunter" were already at the top of the trending list.
Seeing this situation, the masterminds behind the scenes were probably laughing in secret.
No way …
If he left them alone, he wouldn't be able to take it lying down.
Lu Zhou took out his phone and called Dean Qin.
"Hello, it's me, how's the server room?"
When Dean Qin heard Lu Zhou's voice, he sighed and said, "We still can't remove the virus from the server. The cyberpolice sent people over to take a look, but they said they couldn't do anything … We've given up. We're going to reinstall the entire server system and replace all the hard drives."
Give up?
No way.
Lu Zhou immediately thought of an excuse and said, "Don't reinstall yet, we have a lot of computer experts at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. I'll call someone to help you."
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Dean Qin paused for a second. He obviously didn't expect Lu Zhou to make this request.
"You have … information security experts there?"
"Of course." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has an independent information technology research institute. It's not a problem to find an information security expert."
Dean Qin smiled and shook his head. "You're too young."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and send someone over."
When he said this, his tone did not carry much hope at all.
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was nutty, but that was only in mathematics, computational chemistry, and materials science.
In the information technology field, especially in the area of information security, the big names in the research institute might not be as good as the information security engineers in large companies.
Even the information technology research institute at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study couldn't compare to the software department of Jin Ling University. As one of the strongest majors, even Principal Xu himself was involved in information technology research, let alone the academicians who were in the field of information security.
If even the software department and the Internet surveillance department couldn't do anything, he didn't think the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study could …
Lu Zhou didn't waste any time on the phone. He hung up the phone and told Xiao Ai what to do. He then called Luo Wenxuan.
The phone rang three times, and Luo Wenxuan's voice came from the receiver.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Just tell me what you need, I'm guessing you have something to ask of me."
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly.
You've guessed it all right …
However, he quickly stopped smiling and spoke in a serious manner.
"I need you to do me a favor."
