"Come in!" While Cao Ang shouted, the information from the Galaxy Science Society was automatically closed on the computer interface.

Wang Ziliang, who was promoted to the head of the security department not long ago, said anxiously: "Urgent mission!"

"Urgent mission?" Cao Ang was slightly surprised when he heard his description. On the Internet, hackers around the world conduct millions or even millions of attacks every day, most of which were small fuss.

What can be called an emergency task must be very serious!

"What exactly happened?" Cao Ang asked.

"I just received the message!" Wang Ziliang said, "Xinyuan Travel Network was attacked by hackers, and the information of 300 million users was hijacked. Now the hackers ask them to blackmail 100 million US dollars, otherwise they would publish these user information online."

"Good guy, these people have a big appetite!" Cao Ang immediately raised his spirits. This was indeed an emergency.

Xinyuan Travel Network is one of the top travel websites in China, including car and boat tickets, hotel accommodation, food, travel guides and other services. It has more than 200 million monthly active users and has business all over the world.

This company is listed in the United States and has a market value of $15 billion! It is estimated that hackers have set their sights on them for a long time and are ready to make a big deal.

"Has Xinyuan Company approached us?" Cao Ang asked.

"There is no such thing." Wang Ziliang said, "After all, our company is too small and not well-known. But they are seeking help in the circle, saying that as long as they can help them solve this problem, they will be rewarded with 200 million Chinese coins!"

"I guess they are also in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and their own security team cannot solve the problem. Now 306, Penguin, Kingsoft, and even Ali's cloud security team have sent people to prepare solutions."

"In other words, they didn't find our company?" Cao Ang looked at Wang Ziliang.

Wang Ziliang smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes. But Mr. Cao, although I am not sure about solving this problem, you are a top-notch technical expert! If it can be solved, it will not only be 200 million in cash, but our company will gain a foothold across the country!"

"You are smart. This time our opponent is the top security team in the country and the super hackers, and I am not sure." Cao Ang said this, but he was eager to try it out. After learning so much knowledge at the Galaxy Science Society, maybe it's time to use it.

...

In the headquarters building of Xinyuan Tourism Network, Xinyuan's president Yi An was pacing back and forth anxiously in the conference room.

The situation is very urgent now, with hundreds of millions of users’ information, including their online payments, bank cards, hotel stays, itineraries, and even more private information!

If all of these information is leaked on the Internet, it can be imagined that their travel network giant, with a market value of 151 US dollars, will face huge losses! A large number of users will give up their products and even face countless claims and lawsuits!

"Mr. Yi, there is a rumor on the Internet that our user information has been stolen by hackers. Now someone has begun to sell our stocks in the stock market, and the stock price has fallen rapidly!" the assistant reported.

"Let the public relations department handle it quickly! Clear all these messages, and you will definitely not admit them!" Yi An knew that if he admitted this message now, within ten minutes, the news would be blown up the Internet, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Have the hacker stabilized?" Yian asked the security department manager.

"It's still stable at the moment. What these hackers want is money. They don't know how to cash out our user information. Selling it to us is the most cost-effective for them." The manager said.

"Sell it to us?" Yi An was furious when he mentioned this, "Sell it to us with our own user information? This is blackmail! This is blackmail!"

"What do you do for food? The group invested so much money in the security department every year, why did the hackers steal all our user information?"

"Now they want 100 million US dollars. We can't give it, and we can't give it! If you don't destroy the information, it's still free to give it!"

Even Yian, who has been in the mall for a long time, cannot think of any good solution at this moment. From the perspective of commercial interests, the best solution is to pay this million US dollars of ransom, and then hope that these hackers can keep their promises and destroy the information they have obtained.

"How is the security company going?" Yi An asked his assistant.

"We have contacted several of the top security companies in China, and now they have started processing them. But there is no news yet," said the assistant.

"Oh, I hope they can make some use of it!" Yi An was not afraid of paying 200 million Huaxia coins, because he knew that the losses caused by information leakage to Xinyuan Travel Network may be more than billions of dollars! And the company's brand reputation cannot be bought even if it is paid!

He naturally distinguished clearly which one is more important.

Because he was too anxious, Yian directly asked his assistant to connect with the heads of these security companies to conduct video conferences together, hoping to get a solution as soon as possible.

"Everyone, I know you are a peer and a competitor. We are sorry to bring you together. But this matter is so important to our company. We will pay the remuneration of each of your teams. Whoever completes the first one will get a reward of 200 million Chinese coins!" Yi An said.

The heads of each team all expressed that they could understand that if you have money, why not do it?

Lu Chen, the head of the 306 security team, first spoke, "Our team is urgently tracking the hackers and has received a reliable information."

"What information?" Yi An asked quickly.

Lu Chen said: "Based on some traces, we found that this hacker team is a famous hacker organization called 'Copy Ninja'. This hacker organization ranks among the top in the world. They specialize in hacking into servers of large companies, stealing user information, and then extorting wealth. In the past few years, four companies at home and abroad have been caught and were extorted by them for more than 100 million US dollars!"

"Thankfully, copying ninjas is still relatively trustworthy. As long as you give money, they will not disclose user information. As for deleting or not, we don't know. However, an insurance company abroad did not deliver information ransom, and they disclosed the user's bank card account, causing the insurance company to lose more than 2 billion US dollars!"

"They were wanted by many countries, but none of them have been arrested so far!"

Lu Chen's words made Yi An feel cold. Such a powerful hacker team, I'm afraid they can't solve the problem!

"Mr. Yi." Zhong Hao, the head of the Penguin Security Team, said, "We cannot guarantee that we can complete the task. Even if we can crack the hacker's means, as long as we cannot track down their people, it will be of no use. After all, it is too easy to copy information!"

"Yes, I can only say that I can do my best." said the person in charge of Kingsoft team.

Yi An's heart was cold again. So, can we really have to compromise with the hacker?

At this moment, the assistant whispered in his ear. After hearing this, Yi An said skeptically: "Can you do it?"

"I don't know either. They came up with it themselves. They said that if they can't finish it, they don't want a penny." said the assistant.

"Then... OK." Yi An had no choice. If there was a security company that took the initiative to come to the door, he could only make a living.
