Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 494 Joint Operation, Full-Scale Counterattack

"Dad, the situation is under control for now."

The attacker launched a DDoS attack and spread a virus specifically targeting the new system, with a large attack volume.

But we can handle it for now.

But this matter…

"What's wrong? Now that I've become the governor, you're being all polite with your father. Just say what you want to say."

Zhang Shiqing rarely reprimanded Shen Fei, and even the joy he felt when he received the news of Shen Fei's election as governor just yesterday subsided.

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that this operation seems to have official backing! This is a new operation."

"It has official backing."

Zhang Shiqing's tone instantly became much more serious. His eyes darted around quickly. He had just taken office and was currently only an acting governor, a time when he needed to achieve results.

"I immediately coordinated with the Cyber ​​Police Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department and the technical expert team from the Provincial Cyber ​​Security Office to provide support. They are all top-notch experts in the country."

In addition, I will report to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Cyberspace Administration of China again, requesting coordination with the national-level cybersecurity emergency response team.

"Besides, this is no small matter."

This is a transnational cyberattack targeting my country's core technology companies, and its nature is extremely malicious.

Don't worry, the province is your strong backing and will absolutely not let them succeed.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei looked at his anxious father and silently shook his head.

That's good, so that no one will say he's playing the victim later.

…………

Less than an hour after hanging up the phone, a joint volunteer team composed of the Provincial Cyber ​​Security Corps and the Provincial Computer Network Emergency Response Coordination Center arrived at the new headquarters and moved directly into the cybersecurity command center.

In addition, the company that manufactures microphones for Penguin has also joined the war.

The combined defensive strength of Chinese enterprises instantly increased to a higher level.

The temporary anti-virus patch was quickly developed and pushed out directly to the entire network through the Taishan Security Center.

Devices that had been infected with the "Dark Thorn" virus have gradually returned to normal operation.

The firewall on the core server has also been upgraded, significantly improving its interception efficiency. Although the attack traffic is still surging, it can no longer advance even half a step.

"Damn it! They're putting on an act with us. How did their protective capabilities suddenly increase so much?"

"No! The Dark Thorn Virus is the culmination of my years of hard work, how could it be so easily defeated?"

"Stop talking, they're about to counterattack. We need to find new loopholes quickly. If we don't handle this properly, we won't be able to clear our names and get back on our feet."

…………

Meanwhile, China also held an impromptu press conference. After the spokesperson took the stage, glanced at the reporters below, and immediately began the impromptu press conference.

"Today, certain companies or investment banks have illegally organized Peak Sphere to launch cyberattacks against my country's cutting-edge technologies. We will resolutely retaliate against this!"

China has officially announced the issuance of global Class A arrest warrants for 50 hackers, including Shadow and Ghost!

This allowed the reporters to have a question-and-answer session.

"Please tell me, spokesperson, arrest warrants have already been issued for the hackers on these lists, and many of them have already been apprehended!"

Isn't this a waste of manpower by issuing duplicate arrest warrants?

The other reporters nodded in agreement, especially the American reporters, who hadn't known how to report on it before, but now they really had something on them.

"It's not a case of repeated arrest warrants. As far as we know, these people were not brought to justice after they were caught. Instead, they were recruited by certain departments."

Therefore, after we discover the exact location, we will apply for... international assistance, and all those involved must be tried by China.

The reporters in the audience once again sensed the spokesperson's attitude, and at the same time, they clearly understood...

As more and more things are exposed in China, they've really stopped pretending!

Now they're learning from the United States and starting to act as the world's policeman.

After answering a few more questions, the spokesperson left the scene.

…………

Meanwhile, at the Transsion Base Network Command Center on the other side.

"Mr. Liu, a new problem has arisen."

The other party has bypassed the second layer of firewall by exploiting a kernel vulnerability and is attempting to crack the third layer. Meanwhile, another group appears to be trying to crack the encryption protocol of the core database.

Liu Zhihong quickly walked behind him, and his lips twitched slightly as he looked at the constantly changing progress bar on the screen.

Uh... if he remembers correctly, this should be a trap.

"This isn't a place to store critical technologies; it's full of junk."

However, in order to waste their manpower, we still need to take some countermeasures and quickly activate the backup protection nodes.

Direct attack traffic into the honeypot system.

Liu Zhihong had a slightly amused expression on his face, but he wasn't actually as relaxed as he appeared.

He knew this was a premeditated attack; if they could do it once, they could do it again.

While current security systems are secure, they cannot guarantee permanent security.

After all, technology and viruses are upgraded in tandem.

Meanwhile, Dabing Digital is stirring up trouble!

DaBing Digital: "Brothers, I have an exclusive scoop to share with you all."

Remember to take a screenshot after reading this, because I estimate that this message will be taken down by the Cyberspace Administration of China soon; they are trying to cover it up.

The firewall of a certain domestic system has been breached, and your information has now been completely leaked and posted online by hackers.

One message, one dollar!

This is what they call being far ahead. I told you, domestic operating systems are completely unreliable.

Android and iOS are the true security benchmarks.

"That soldier is amazing! He actually got such crucial information?"

"I saw a similar report two minutes ago, but it was gone when I refreshed the page!"

"Trust the capabilities of our Guangnan Provincial Cyber ​​Police? They may not be the best technically, but they're certainly adept at covering mouths."

"Pshaw! Was that taken down by the cyber police? That's clearly the blogger spreading rumors!"

Didn't you see that press conference online? A bunch of idiotic bloggers, profiting from the national crisis!

"Wow, no wonder they're consumers brainwashed by Douyin (TikTok). This company's technology is terrible, yet they're profiting from national disasters?"

#Taishan system suspected of having a major security vulnerability#

Thanks to the efforts of various bloggers, this topic quickly became a trending topic, but Weibo took it down in less than a minute!

However, this behavior also made many viewers firmly believe that something was definitely wrong with Taishan, and that he was covering his mouth right now!

Various screenshots have appeared online!

Meanwhile, in the command center, everyone's face was etched with exhaustion.

They fought continuously for six hours without closing their eyes, but the enemy had already launched a second wave of attacks, which were still fierce and seemed endless.

Liu Zhihong was forced to stand in front of Shen Fei: "President Shen, the opponent's technical strength far exceeds our expectations."

They have found at least three kernel-level zero-day vulnerabilities in our system.

We have identified and fixed two of them so far, but there is still one that has not been identified.

"I'm thinking about whether we should upgrade to a higher level of security protection system."

Otherwise, it would be disgusting if a bunch of hackers kept bothering you like flies.

"Okay, I got it!"

Shen Fei's answer was simple, but Liu Zhihong felt inexplicably at ease.

Meanwhile, he was silently mourning for those hackers; the balance of power between the two sides was likely about to shift.
