"Gong Wu, there have been several abnormal accounts in our game for no apparent reason. The rewards for completing tasks are very large, and there is obviously something wrong. Our operations side has checked the data several times, and it is useless to roll back the files. We still try our best to do it. We can only
I locked those accounts to log in, but the new account still appeared... Did your development side provide debugging? Find out what caused it? "
"Oh, I see. It was fine in our test environment. It may have been a hacker attack. This will be troublesome and requires a new firewall." A half-bald middle-aged programmer replied weakly.
"Then you guys will give it a try. If it doesn't work, we will move it to xx's server. Their firewall should be better."
"Okay, let's see again."
Account data anomalies are actually very easy to detect.
An abnormality in the archive data of a stand-alone game can be discovered immediately and the archive is locked, let alone an online game account that interacts with the server at all times and performs data verification?
Your gold coins and experience points have suddenly increased. There is an upper limit to the gold coins and experience points you can obtain every day, because the tasks you can do are limited. This will trigger the anomaly detection mechanism.
Ancient games didn’t do this yet, but now it’s a basic module that comes with the game program.
The anomaly detection mechanism is easy to implement and does not require any running resources.
Just verify the archived data.
Wu Qimin logged into the game "Heroes of Might and Magic III" by himself. This mobile game generates more than 100,000 yuan a month. The profit is not bad, and it looks like it can last for a few years.
He used a developer account and ran around.
In the game, there are hundreds of trumpets chattering there.
"I heard that this game will give out 10,000 times the mission rewards. Have you got them?"
"I got it. I just went online, and suddenly a prompt popped up, giving me 50,000 times the temporary task reward."
"Me too."
"Everyone is given 10,000 times the reward, which means there is no reward at all. This is a game pill."
Wu Qimin nodded, this statement is correct.
After all, these rewards are just some data. Game operators do not lose anything. What they really lose is the players’ gaming experience. It is fun at first, but just like the full level and full server, you soon get tired of playing and lose the B-1 in the challenge.
Even if you push them, you will fall down, and you will still be unable to defeat other players in the game.
Where can I play with yarn?
But who is doing such boring things?
Is he really a hacker?
After looking at the client, he entered the server backend and used several tools to scan, but found no signs of hacker intrusion.
Could it be that I am too good at it?
But hackers always have a motive, right?
Either I am sending an emoji to show off, or I am blackmailing you, or I am telling you that there is a loophole.
You don't do anything, is your motive just to serve players for free and just want to see their smiling faces?
There are also such people.
Referred to as contribution personality, the probability of this type of personality occurring is about 5.
They can generate happiness by serving others. This is a unique situation for social creatures.
They ensure the reproduction of gregarious life from generation to generation, and gregarious life that cannot produce a contributing personality is often eliminated.
I am also very poor, why don’t you contribute a little?
Increase the number on my bank card ten thousand times.
I still don’t want it anymore, I will be sent in the next moment.
Wu Qimin was thinking wildly and spent the whole night in his study, but found nothing.
Early the next morning, around 6 o'clock, while having breakfast, he casually said this at the dining table.
At this time, my son, who had watched more than 1,000 episodes of Conan and was in the second grade of junior high school, suddenly stood up and said, "Is there really no motive?"
"At this point, there's no motive, wait, if there is one, there's one thing that's weird."
"What's up?"
"Some players said they were tasked with promoting our game. Isn't this just looking for trouble? Why do hackers ask others to promote our game?" Wu Qimin shook his head.
"Haha, the case has been solved. In fact, your game produced artificial intelligence, and then it wanted to become more powerful, so it used mission rewards to lure players to promote it." The junior high school son said confidently,
"There is an episode like this in Conan. In order for the players to find the murderer, the artificial intelligence leads the players to the scene of the crime."
"Conan is here to give you some evidence. You are actually playing Kogoro, right?" the middle-aged wife said with disdain.
Wu Qimin also smiled.
He also had this groundbreaking idea.
But what's the use?
There is no evidence. After you tell the operation, you will only be stunned by the joke.
"Tch, why do I have no evidence? Didn't you say that you can't find any traces of hackers? Can't you find any motive for the hacker attack? If you eliminate all illusions, the rest is impossible, and that is the only truth!" The junior high school son said no.
He said with conviction.
"..." Wu Qimin was stunned.
Of course he doesn't think it's artificial intelligence.
His son reminded him.
Could it have been done by an insider?
This insider is equivalent to artificial intelligence.
Therefore, there are no traces of external intrusion.
The question is, who has the authority to issue 10,000 times the reward?
Boss, closeness to boss?
This is something that a technician like me cannot handle.
He picked up his phone and started sending messages.

"Hey, Xiao Huan, are you doing it again? It's only been two days, how come you spread to so many people?" Wen Rensheng said with a headache.
He only changed one person.
Xiaohuan is so good, he broadcast it secretly, and many players came in at once.
"One or two are so slow. If you get a few more, Sister Yasha will be stronger."
"I can give you more fun things, right?" Wen Rensheng saw through her motives at a glance.
"Hey Hey."
"Hey, hey, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. What's the matter? Didn't I just get a few more people? They wouldn't think it was us. They would just say it was hackers or artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence?" Wen Rensheng's heart moved, "I'll give you a task, don't you know how to act? Go play this artificial intelligence. Others call it Xiaoxi, so you can call it Xiaohuan."
"Hey, this is interesting, so I'll play it."
"Remember, you are not allowed to reveal any extraordinary factors."
"knew."
…………
One week later.
Hua Gang was sitting in an office, with an investigator from the Business Alliance sitting across from him.
"According to our investigation, you are the first person to receive a 10,000-fold mission reward. Don't deny it. You have registered for all games under your real name. Your mobile phone number, text message records, login data... can all prove this."
The investigator said seriously.
"I was completely passive. I didn't take the initiative. I thought it was a game." Hua Gang tried to calm down.
"Haha, that's okay for the first game, but for the second game, Wasteland Survival, you used it to make hundreds of thousands. Are you saying you didn't realize there was a problem at this time?" the investigator sneered.
road.
Hua Gang was silent.
He knows that quibbling is useless, it's like spitting out money, how can he not know that there is a problem?
"It seems that you have nothing to say. Now I'll give you a chance to tell you exactly what happened to you that day. No detail can be missed," the investigator said.
"If I tell you, can you let me go?"
"We also need to hand over all the illegal gains, and we can consider giving him a lighter sentence."
"That's good." Hua Gang had already lost his temper.
