Just when Wang Yufei began to worry about whether his little sister would be deceived, a special meeting was being held at Apple headquarters thousands of miles away at midnight.

It’s not easy for a dog to work overtime.

However, those who worked overtime in the high-end conference room of Apple headquarters today cannot be described as dogs. After all, the people participating in this meeting, even those with the lowest status, are all Apple executives in the eyes of the outside world.

For example, Ge Lingyue, general manager of Apple China, is among them. Next to her is Snell, who just went to China on a business trip.

Others include Apple's senior vice presidents, chief technology officer and iOS technology director Kurt Fusco, etc.

This is actually quite embarrassing.

It’s even more embarrassing because so many big guys gathered because of a stupid kid from China.

That's right, I'm talking about Wang Yufei.

After the video from the court was sent back to the headquarters, many people were frightened.

Fortunately, this was in China, and fortunately the person hacking was a local Chinese Apple mobile phone.

If this happened in the United States, it would be even more difficult to deal with it. God knows how many people would be watching and insisting on information security. If there are people who are interested in adding fuel to the flames, the losses would be huge.

Although the management firmly believes that if this kind of thing happens in China, it will be able to survive the crisis, but who is willing to pay the price that they don’t have to pay?

In fact, the essence of this incident is still a technical issue. Apple also has a set of effective procedures for how to deal with system vulnerabilities, but managers still need to investigate how this all happened.

When encountering such emergencies, merit will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished.

Not to mention that Apple China will spend 6 billion to revitalize Huaxia Education. According to the contract, it cannot be used for tax deduction through official channels, which makes it even more necessary to convene this meeting.

After all, Apple is a listed company, and President Tim Cook is responsible to shareholders, and even more to the board of directors.

Nearly one billion US dollars was thrown away in such an inexplicable way, and there must be an explanation.

So this high-profile meeting was hosted by Cook.

The video being played in the conference room at this time was exactly Wang Yufei’s performance during the court hearing that day.

But this video is obviously carefully edited.

In some key time periods, videos from multiple angles were inserted, and not only that, AI technology was used to complete some pictures.

For example, the picture of Wang Yufei's laptop has been obviously processed in many places. With the clarity of the camera, even if it is partially enlarged, it cannot show such a clear effect.

The half-hour-long video finally finished playing, and the screen was once again frozen on Wang Yufei's laptop.

"Okay, everyone, let's say something. Just say whatever you want." Cook picked up the remote control, turned off the screen, and said seriously.

You can't be serious. If you encounter something like this, it will make anyone angry.

Apple was threatened by an individual developer, or by a hacker in real name, and was still a minor in Chinese legal terms. What’s even more frightening is that Apple still compromised.

Can you really be the number one high-tech company in the universe and be so shameless?

Well, that’s not right. In fact, you don’t have to worry about face, as long as you have money.

But, he still lost money!

Do you really think that the largest high-tech company in the universe grew up by doing charity?

"Let me make a brief report first." Ge Lingyue spoke first.

It wasn't that Ge Lingyue wanted to speak first, the point was that this happened in the Huaxia District and she had no choice.

"I won't go into details about the cause of this incident. I will mainly report on Apple China's response measures." In five minutes, Ge Lingyue recounted the entire incident, focusing on Apple China's efforts to eliminate the negative impact.

work done on.

Finally, he concluded: “The reason why the company was so passive this time was mainly due to system security issues.”

This is not a blame-shifting, this is the truth.

All eyes are on Kurt Fusco, iOS technical director.

Well, after all, the other party directly conquered the latest Apple mobile phone.

"Ahem," Kot Fusco cleared his throat awkwardly. From when he first saw the second system, he wanted to teach Wang Yufei a lesson, to now when he is in disgrace, this technical director has gone through an extremely complicated mental journey.

.

If possible, he really wanted to rush to China, open Wang Yufei's head and see what was inside.

"According to the vulnerability information submitted by Apple China, this is a historical issue. After comparing all historical versions, we found that this vulnerability has already appeared in the version released in June 2008." After speaking, Kotfusco said

Stop talking.

It’s not that he didn’t take responsibility, he was not even at Apple in 2008!

Of course, it is really frustrating that this fatal vulnerability has not been discovered for so many years. But then again, this vulnerability is hidden very deep. Isn’t it the same that so many hackers have not found it?

From this point of view, it seems that he should also thank Wang Yufei.

If some random person discovers this vulnerability first, the damage to Apple may be even greater.

"So Mr. Kotfusco, can you tell me why no one has discovered this vulnerability in ten years? Including you!" someone asked.

"This is such a stupid good question!" Kurt Fusco roared in his heart, but he did not dare to fight back when facing this board representative.

"First of all, this vulnerability appears in the underlying logic of iOS. We know that some logic at this level can only be implemented by assembly. So this requires people who can discover this vulnerability to understand extremely complex assembly code or even machine language, and

This is without any high-level language to refer to."

"And we all know that there are very few people who can possess this ability. In addition, he still needs to study the information exchange logic between Apple firmware for a long time..."

Kotfusco narrated expressionlessly. Although he tried to make his language easy to understand, it was inevitable that he would use a lot of professional vocabulary when introducing technical issues.

It was obvious that the board representative who asked this question did not understand technology and looked confused when he heard it.

"alright!"

Tim Cook stopped Kurt Fusco who was still playing, stared at him and said: "Nothing in this world is perfect, including the operating system. This is why Apple's icon is missing a piece, but this

It doesn’t stop us from pursuing perfection! We can’t let Apple lose another piece. So the question now is, when will a patch package be released to solve this problem!”

"Well... one week, give us one week, we will definitely solve this problem." Kotfusco said.

"Okay, one week! So Ms. Ge Lingyue, you reported that that young man may have another zero-day vulnerability for Apple products in his hands. Are you sure?"

"Not sure! He rejected our company's high-price acquisition invitation." Ge Lingyue said equally depressed...
Chapter completed!
