Walnut called the big boss in charge of network security in front of him.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the director of our site's network security department, Owens. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
Zhang Jue nodded, "Hello, Director Owens. I am the consultant responsible for investigating the attack on site15, Zhang Jue. I would like to ask you some questions."
"Oh, consultant." Owens sounded a little impatient. "Just say what you want to say. We haven't finished our work yet."
Zhang Jue's identity was special. The headquarters had spent "a lot of effort" to invite him to help. Walnut wanted to reprimand Owens but was stopped by Zhang Jue.
"Director Owens, it looks like you don't welcome me." He smiled.
"I don't welcome anyone from the headquarters." Owens' expression was cold, as if he wasn't targeting anyone. "If it weren't for those amateurs, the network defense of the site wouldn't have been breached. The headquarters should take the main responsibility for this matter!"
Looking at his expression, Zhang Jue knew that he must have been bullied by the headquarters.
No matter what industry, the biggest taboo was for laymen to lead professionals.
The big bosses at site15 thought highly of themselves and looked down on everyone else.
However, Zhang Jue was a person who could speak the human language. He naturally knew how to deal with such a straight man.
He looked at Owens with disdain and said, "Big Brother, are you really that awesome? How can you blame the headquarters for the website's network defense being breached? Is it because you're not as good as them? "
"Bullsh * t!" Owens seemed to have been touched. "The old firewall has been in use for more than ten years and there have never been a security incident. If it weren't for them forcing me to upgrade the firewall, there wouldn't have been a loophole in the system and the enemy wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Owens was agitated and spoke very quickly. Zhang Jue quickly said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're saying that because the firewall was upgraded, the enemy took advantage of the loophole. I don't understand this logic. Shouldn't upgrading the firewall make it safer?"
"Tsk, laymen are laymen." Owens snorted. "Do you think that upgrading site15's firewall is something that can be done in a few minutes? The entire process would last for several hours! In the next few hours, we have to restart hundreds of servers and thousands of services and components. Although the firewall of the site uses distributed and clustered services, when the other security servers are restarted, the firewall's defense strategy against the outside world will undoubtedly be spread to other servers. As long as the enemy grasps this timing, they can take advantage of it. Tell me, if we don't blame them, who can we blame? "
Owens talked a lot about server components, distributed clusters, and so on. They were all terms that Zhang Jue did not understand, but he understood the main idea.
Simply put, the server upgrade was when the site was at its weakest. According to Owens, the enemy infiltrated site15's network at that time and successfully infiltrated the site.
Seeing how confident Owens was, Zhang Jue asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Owens turned his head away. "It's so obvious! Was there a need for evidence? An amateur is an amateur! "
Well, seeing this, Zhang Jue knew that they were guessing as well.
These big names were very conceited with their technology. They did not want to believe that the firewall was breached under normal circumstances, so it was reasonable. The problem must have occurred at that time. It must be the fault of the people at the headquarters!
Zhang Jue thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that some defense systems have logs. If the enemy really did infiltrate at that time, there should be some traces left."
Zhang Jue looked at Owens, wanting to hear his explanation. Who knew that this big name would just snort and not say anything.
The station chief's secretary, Robert, explained awkwardly, "Mr. Zhang, in theory, it is true. The enemy should have left a record when they infiltrated our network, but we did a comprehensive analysis of the logs on the server and did not find any traces of the enemy's infiltration."
"So that's how it is."
Zhang Jue nodded and was about to continue asking questions when Owens said, "The enemy must be a very skilled big name. Not only could they determine the precise time when we started each service and component, but they also cleverly hid their tracks so that we could not detect their presence. Then, when necessary, they would give us a fatal blow. Just like your CN swordsmen, they kill without leaving a trace."
"Pfff —"
Zhang Jue almost could not hold it in. He did not expect Owens to be so knowledgeable. It seemed that he had read a lot of CN Wuxia novels.
Zhang Jue thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Secretary Robert, Manager Owens, I don't know much about technology, but from your description, I think you are overcomplicating the problem."
Owens raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
Zhang Jue did not directly give his conclusion. Instead, he said, "Let me tell you a story I heard before."
"It also happened in a large internet company. Although their security team was not as strong as site15, they still had a high salary and attracted a lot of big names to join them."
"One day, they received a threatening letter. The content of the letter was that they had to transfer money to a Bitcoin account or else their company's network would be hacked."
"These big names would not be scared by such a small thing, so they did not take it seriously."
"Then, at ten o 'clock, their company's building suddenly had a power outage for ten seconds."
