Chapter 1345 Finalists

"Now, if the intruder's blockade cannot be unlocked, the fastest way to restore functions as soon as possible is to rewrite the server program. In this case..."

At the meeting, an employee from the technical department made this suggestion while discussing the current problem.

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

Then, after seeing that the chairman had no reaction, other staff members also put forward other opinions:

"If this is the case, the server must be disconnected from the network first, and it will also take time to copy the program. So how will the final game time be calculated?"

"At this time, with such a big problem, of course we can only temporarily suspend the competition. After reinforcing the security of the server, we can choose another date to hold it."

Another staff member from the planning department said so.

"And now the technical department is under great pressure. In addition to the fact that someone has successfully invaded the server, there are also many people who are eyeing the server. The people in the technical department can't stop for a moment. It feels like we are facing so many hackers. We’re already a little short-staffed!”

At this time, a department head continued.

"I don't think there is any need to suspend the game. Currently, most hackers are blocked by the existing firewall. Only one person successfully invaded the server and locked the answering function so that the score will not change. I think the opponent We must be at the top of the rankings now. Therefore, we do not need to waste manpower on defense. We can choose to take the initiative to attack and lock the IPs of the top eight teams on the rankings for counterattack. We will definitely find the intruder. When the time comes, just restore the data and continue to let the game go on."

At this time, someone else in the technical department put forward a different point of view.

In this way, with the emergence of this statement, the discussion at the meeting became more intense and more complex, with various viewpoints emerging.

But everyone is noisy, each has its own position, and no one can convince the other, and the technical department does not dare to guarantee that the several plans they have proposed will achieve the expected results.

Just like that, while the argument was going on, Kashimura, a rare Asian staff member, used his laptop to carefully read the data after the server was opened, and suddenly spoke up——

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

In this way, as these words were spoken, Chairman Thomas Sindora, who had been sitting silently and seemed to be contemplating the closing, finally opened his eyes and looked at Kashimura who was speaking at this time.

But this time, seeing that the chairman finally reacted, many voices that had been arguing before could not help but quiet down. Most of the people present also looked towards Kashimura——

"Originally, this 'World Hacking Competition' was also an attempt to test the security status of major projects that our company will release next. But now, judging from the results, it is basically in line with the original expectations. It combines our company's and regular After deploying the group's technology, most hackers are blocked from our newly developed firewall and unable to invade the server."

Kashimura continued, but these words attracted boos from most of the European and American staff present. After all, the fact was that after combining the technology of Japanese companies, the firewall developed was still successfully invaded.

But in response, Kashimura continued expressionlessly:

"Currently, there is only one hacker who can quietly and successfully intrude into the server so quickly, and also deliberately lock the answering function to make us aware of his existence. Moreover, looking at his methods, A bit like the mysterious hacker who appeared briefly before, hacked into the servers of three giant companies, and then disappeared!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of some of the technical staff present could not help but become solemn.

Without further explanation, Kashimura immediately said:

"Therefore, I think the only hacker that can break through our existing firewall in a short time is the mysterious hacker, and other hackers don't need to worry too much. Now, since the mysterious hacker is here He made a move in the qualifiers, and he will definitely leave his team on the ranking list to participate in our offline competition. By then, if there is a chance to let the mysterious hacker help improve our server, no Is it more beneficial to us?

"So, I think we don't need to do anything, just wait for the final result. After all, the hacker competition is a competition of hacking skills. Being able to invade the server and modify our data so quickly already shows the other party's ability!" So, as these words came out, the discussion at the meeting became lively again——

"How are you sure that the mysterious hacker will definitely participate in the finals?"

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

In this regard, Kashimura affirmed:

"I investigated the reason why the mysterious hacker took action. It was because he took over commissions on the dark web. The value of these commissions was probably less than a million dollars. And he only took action once. So I think, if it weren't for life, The hacker probably wouldn't have done anything like that. But now, our competition has a prize of tens of millions of dollars.

"So, if he is such a mysterious hacker who has skills but nowhere to put them to use and can only make a fortune on the dark web and then disappear, he should not miss this opportunity."

So, after listening to Kashimura's answer, Thomas Sindora nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, that's it. The online competition will continue like this. When the countdown ends on time, the top eight teams will be selected for the finals according to the original rules."

"Yes."

This time, with the voice of Chairman Thomas Sindola, the outcome of this meeting came to an end. In this way, everyone in the meeting returned to their respective posts as required, and they were not as nervous as they were before the meeting started. It’s urgent——

Anyway, looking at it this way, we just need to wait until the online competition ends as scheduled at noon tomorrow...

……

In this way, such a deployment was made at the headquarters of Sindora Company. There was no more response to Gao Yuan's intrusion into the server. When Gao Yuan woke up, he looked at the website of the game again, except for the countdown. Operation, but other aspects have not changed at all, which can't help but make Gao Yuan a little surprised——

The organizer did not take any measures, so it is assumed that their direct intrusion into the server is effective?

But what about other hackers?

If hacking into the server is allowed as a normal operation, then other hackers should have taken action in the past few hours, right? How come the content displayed on the page is still so calm?

With such doubts, Gao Yuan once again entered the website server through the backdoor left in advance, and found that it was still calm inside, without any trace of being invaded by others. This made Gao Yuan a little surprised——

If I have invaded the server by myself so far, does this game seem too simple?

I also prepared a lot of follow-up means to deal with possible attacks from the organizer or other hackers. As a result...

Just like that, he continued to wait until the twenty-four hours of the game were about to end. Gao Yuan modified the background data to score points for himself and Kuroba Kaito's team, and by tracking down the hackers who tried to invade the server but failed. IP tracing, after Gao Yuan took the initiative to compete with those hackers, he chose several other hackers with good skills, and improved their team points data to the top of the rankings——

In this way, the eight teams entering the finals appeared as if they were appointed by Gao Yuan...
