Lu Mingzhen’s rage suddenly was trapped in his chest.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say a word for a long while.
A secretary who is good at guessing the boss’s intentions knew that Lu Mingzhen liked his eldest son Lu Shengqing the most. Since his second son, Lu Lingche took over the corporation, he has never been satisfied.
He said softly, “Chairman, this actually has nothing to do with Senior President Lu. The hacker is too cunning. They first hacked into the Tiansheng System designed by Senior President Lu and now they want to destroy our firewall. They definitely premeditated this. They must have prepared for a long time.” “Yes, they must have prepared for a long time!”
Lu Mingzhen came back to his senses, “In that case, let the cybersecurity department immediately rebuild the firewall, urgently remove the virus from the computer, and let everyone restore their normal work.”
The secretary nodded in agreement and went to work.
An hour later, the firewall was re-established and activated, the virus was removed, and everyone’s computers were finally back to normal.
But everyone’s computers froze again after only ten minutes of work.
Word came from the cybersecurity department that the firewall had been breached again. They warned everyone not to turn on their computers, or they might get infected again, and they were rushing to repair it.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the hundred or so engineers from the entire cybersecurity department, they could only maintain the firewall for a few minutes.
As soon as they repaired it, the hacker would promptly launch an attack, and the network would crash.
This process lasted for an entire day.
Everyone was chilled to the bone.
This was a slaughter – one-sided!
No one was a match for this hacker!
The abilities of the two sides were not on the same level!
Crush, completely crushed!
At seven o’clock in the evening, the usually brightly lit Shengling Group building was pitch black.
Even the normally unextinguished enormous company emblem was not lit.
The hacker had cut off the company’s electricity.
Lu Mingzhen sat in his office, with two emergency lights placed next to him.
Everyone was even grateful, luckily, the emergency lights were battery-powered, else, the hacker would have got those extinguished too.
Looking at the prime members of the cybersecurity team standing in front of him, for the first time in his life, he had doubts about the capabilities of his deceased eldest son.
After a day of anger, his voice was hoarse, “Were you all brought in by Shengqing?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“He hired me a group of incompetents who can’t even resist a hacker. What’s the benefit of the company to keep you? If it weren’t for the fact that no one dared have malicious intentions before, the corporation would’ve been attacked long ago!”
Everyone lowered their heads.
It took the Vice President in charge of cybersecurity a lot of courage to say: “Chairman, in fact, it should not be a hacker on the other side, but a group of hackers. Otherwise, so many of us would not be defeated. And moreover, there must be more people on their side, so it’s difficult for us to resist.”
Lu Mingzhen couldn’t help but close his eyes.
After a day of wrangling, he had already gotten the truth of the matter from Lu Lingche.
The hacker was retaliating because the corporation did not pay a reward of one million US dollars.
If Lu Lingche did not lie to him, then, there was actually only one hacker on the other side.
He was having a hard time accepting that his eldest son, whom he had always been particularly fond of, was not only incapable but also shirking his responsibilities instead of finding a solution to the problem.
However, Lu Mingzhen himself did not intend to pay one million dollars either, otherwise people would think he was afraid of the hacker!
He glanced at everyone and said fiercely: “I don’t care what method you use, when I come back to the company tomorrow, I will not allow to see the same situation! Everyone work overtime to maintain the company’s system!” However, on the second day, the same situation still occurred.
The firewall they worked all night on was still breached at nine o’clock in the morning..
