Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 388 Hackers’ Flexible Bottom Line

Hacker attacks are a very difficult problem that any online game company will encounter.

The most common attack mode is undoubtedly the DDOS attack, which uses a large number of machines to attack the server at the same time, causing the server to become congested.

This attack method does not have much technical content, but it is very simple and crude.

The server became stuck and delayed, and players reacted the most intensely.

It ranges from posting insults to the game operating company to deleting the game and refunding the money.

And many small and medium-sized game companies do not have sound legal affairs and behind-the-scenes forces like government agencies and large enterprises. When encountering such problems, most of them will consider settling the matter.

Therefore, various overseas hacker organizations will regard these newly established domestic game companies as fat sheep and carry out attacks and blackmails wantonly.

One of the more famous ones was also the organization that was later most hated by small game manufacturers in Huaguo - the Wanwan hacker organization accg.

This organization is full of crimes.

In the past life, the earliest case of Huaguo Game Company being extorted by this organization can be traced back to 2013.

In this life, due to the butterfly effect brought about by Wang Chunliang's rebirth, the Flower Country mobile game debuted early.

Although accg arrived late, it appeared in everyone's sight on the second day of the launch of the Multi-Tower Miracle server.

After the programmer on duty recorded the other party's blackmail information on paper and handed it to Wang Xinwen, he quit the office and devoted himself to strengthening the defense.

As a reborn person, Wang Chunliang has personally experienced too many situations where game servers were attacked by hackers in his previous life.

Therefore, one month before the game was launched, he reminded Wang Xinwen many times to beware of this potential hazard.

Considering that Lilith had just been established and was very small in scale, it was unrealistic to set up its own network security team, so he compiled a list of several third-party network security companies and gave it to Wang Xinwen.

Therefore, it stands to reason that low-level attacks such as DDOS should not be successful at this moment.

"Don't you have any contact with any of those third-party security companies?"

Faced with Wang Chunliang's doubts, Wang Xinwen rubbed his messy hair with both hands and said with great regret:

"I contacted several companies, but their quotations were too high. I thought at the time that there were so many programmers in the company, how could we be afraid of those little hackers? So I wanted to take it slow first and wait until the game becomes big. Say it again"

Some things are difficult to take seriously without experiencing them.

In fact, almost all game companies in Huaguo Continent are not very aware of hackers at this moment, let alone newcomer Wang Xinwen?
In his previous life, Wang Xinwen worked hard in the gaming industry for nearly four years before resigning to start a business.

In this life, when he founded Lilith, he had just left campus for less than a year, and was still very young in all aspects.

That's why he made such a mistake because he was lucky.

Even as an investor, Wang Chunliang couldn't be too harsh on him, but he couldn't take over everything. He had to use this crisis to let the other party learn from the experience and gain wisdom.

Wang Chunliang patted Wang Xinwen's shoulder heavily and reminded:

"Hackers will not stop attacking because you regret it! Cheer up and go see the progress of the programmers first."

Wang Xinwen let out a breath, a glimmer of expectation sprouted in his heart, and followed Wang Chunliang out of the office.

Soon, his illusions were shattered.

The programmers were all so anxious that they didn't even bother to raise their heads and complained:

"We are in big trouble. We just blocked one attack path, but hundreds more appeared immediately."

After that, the programmer gave up his computer and asked Wang Xinwen to take a seat. Then he pointed at the computer screen and continued, "Mr. Wen, the hacker just sent the contact information. I added the other party's DC. How about..." The programmer, whose hair was not rich to begin with, lost a few more hair in a hurry, and felt like surrendering.

At this time, Xiao Yue, the disaster star, rushed over in a panic. She patted Wang Xinwen's arm and reported urgently:
"Mr. Wen, the number of customer service calls has been overwhelming, and many players have threatened to refund and file 315 complaints. Fortunately, the management on major forums and social platforms are more diligent, and there is no public opinion besieging our Lilith. ”

After saying that, Xiao Yue looked at Wang Chunliang with admiration in her eyes.

She secretly celebrated that it was thanks to this investor representative that he stood up to all odds and demanded with an extremely tough attitude that Lilith must invest a certain amount of financial resources into online community management.

After this battle, the importance of social management is undoubtedly revealed.

Without Wang Chunliang's prior arrangements, this hacker attack would have caused a huge storm.

By then, friends and businessmen will be adding fuel to the fire, and it will be almost impossible for Lilith to escape unscathed.

Of course, although public opinion can be barely controlled now, the top priority still must be to solve the problem of hackers as soon as possible.

"Mr. Wen, how about we agree to the hacker's request? 5 yuan is not much. If the hacker attacks for one more minute, our losses will far exceed this number."

Wang Xinwen gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely angry, he felt that this was the only feasible way at the moment.

"Wait a minute, you have to think carefully. These hackers have no credibility. You paid a protection fee of 5 yuan, and within a few minutes, they will change other members to attack the server again for blackmail. At this time, the redemption amount is far more than 5 yuan.”

Wang Chunliang's words poured cold water on everyone.

That’s right, no one can trust Wanwan in Telecom.

Just when Wang Xinwen was in a dilemma, Wang Chunliang raised his cell phone:
"I have contacted Mr. Zhao from the Green League via text message. He will arrange for someone to arrive here within twenty minutes. It only takes an hour at most to solve the hacker problem. So now you should consider how to quell players' dissatisfaction. Personal suggestions , you can give a set of costumes and a hero of your choice as compensation. No matter how annoyed the player is, they will automatically lose their memory.”

After saying this, Wang Chunliang looked at the blackmail DC dialog box on the computer screen:
"The timing of this hacker attack is a bit coincidental, and it only attacked Lilith. I guess there must be something behind it."

He patted Wang Xinwen, motioned him to leave his seat, and sat on it himself.

Then his fingers flew around, tapping the keyboard quickly.

'exist? '

'Ah Liuzai, have you agreed to pay? Fifty thousand is nothing to you. '

'Sorry, I'm not from Lilith Company, so I can't make this decision for them. '

'You're such an idiot, you're wasting my time. '

'I want to discuss a business deal with you. '

'? ? ? '

'Tell me the person behind this attack on Lilith. '

'Hey, what are you talking about, I don't understand! '

'15, give me the list. '

'Boss, we are hackers, not police officers. The other party only pays, and we don’t know who the other party is. Besides, thieves also have their ways, and hackers also have their own bottom line.'

'Please tell Ke Zhe, I know the rules of your accg. The employer must reveal his identity before you will accept the job. 20, give me the list! '

'Okay, boss, please pay the money first. '
