Zhou Yiping was stunned for a moment: "You still don't know these two hacker organizations? They are both quite famous.
"ATE doesn't know, VRNO should know, right?"
Lu Zhixing was silent: "I know ATM."
The behavior of these two hackers is indeed very similar to an ATM (automated teller machine).
Zhou Yiping couldn't help but laugh: "What ATM, you are too disrespectful to a hacker organization with huge destructive power.
"ATM, oh no, ATE, the full name is Against The East, which is a foreign hacker organization that specializes in the East, especially our country, as the main target of attacks!
"This itself is a loose alliance of hacker organizations, said to have hundreds of members. It not only carries out crazy cyber attacks on our country on the traditional Internet, data theft and disclosure hype activities, but also poses a serious threat to our country's network security and data security.
Hazards, various attack activities are also constantly carried out in the deep virtual space.
“Tampering, stealing virtual space, stealing confidential information, and destroying various source codes.
"This time we took away several of their broilers in our country, and also targeted a group of suspects in the country. It can be said that we directly cut off one of the hands of this organization in the country!
“And this VRNO has a bigger background.
"We noticed that the two hackers from ATE did not seem to have much mental preparation for the underlying rules of this virtual space, which shows that they were obviously not the ones who planned the attack on the motion capture competition before.
"Based on ATE's relationship with the hacker organization and various other clues, we believe that the person who attacked the official motion capture competition before was most likely VRNO."
Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Why does this sound so official?"
Zhou Ping said: "You don't have to think like it, this is an official organization. However, it is not an official organization of our country. It is a deep virtual world network intelligence collection department affiliated with the US National Security Agency NSA. It can also be said that it is the most important organization in the world today.
The largest hacker organization."
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "Then our country's officials are considered to be the second largest hacker organization in the world?"
Zhou Yiping laughed: "From an official perspective, I must sternly refute your statement. But from a personal perspective, I think this statement is quite appropriate.
"Well, in short, we really caught an unexpected big fish this time. Thanks to your virtual space that delayed them for a long time and did not use official means to alert them, our security personnel were able to track their intrusion.
route!
"I will report it to the superiors, just wait for the reward!"
After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he hung up the phone happily.
Make a lot of money, really make a lot of money!
Ever since Lu Zhixing joined the second team, good things have happened one after another.
Could it be that this is the legendary chosen koi?
…
…
Monday, January 22nd.
"What? Our company is undercover? Oh no, it's been hacked??"
Zhao Haoyan's eyes widened, feeling as if he had heard some kind of fantasy.
Other employees also gathered around: "What's going on? Hackers? There is no loss of our company's data, right? How can there be hackers in the deep space of 'Tai Qing'!"
News that the virtual space was hacked on Sunday night quickly spread throughout the company.
In fact, Lu Zhixing didn't intend to make it known to everyone, but after going to work today, someone from the official came over to ask a few questions, help debug the VR game cabin, and improve the security level.
So everyone in the entire company knows.
Everyone was shocked: It turns out that our company encountered such a huge crisis without knowing it?
Hacker! It sounds scary!
Lu Zhixing said lightly: "They are all small characters, not worth mentioning. If they were really powerful hackers, our company might have been robbed long ago."
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was right. A powerful hacker wouldn't fall in love with this small company, let alone return empty-handed.
And the person who is most concerned about this matter is obviously Li Rushan.
The little fat man grabbed Lu Zhixing's hand and said with concern: "Mr. Lu, did the hacker cause any serious damage?
"This is force majeure. It's written in the contract. You don't have to worry about these losses. I will bear them all!"
"By the way, the source code of the game is still safe, right?
“It doesn’t matter if the game is delayed for a month if it really doesn’t work!”
Lu Zhixing smiled: "Didn't I say that the company has not suffered any losses and everything is safe. "Walking with Darkness" has been developed and can even be released now."
Li Rushan was a little disappointed. It seemed that his hope of bearing more losses for the company was dashed.
But the next sentence rekindled his hope.
"Huh? Can it even be released now? So what are we waiting for? Let's just release it!"
Li Rushan suddenly felt that Mr. Lu had opened up his mind again. It was impossible to postpone the launch, but what if it was launched early? Can the game have more bugs and be able to identify the problem earlier?
Everyone was confused: "Ah? Reverse bounce? Mr. Li, this is not good!"
Li Rushan was unreasonable and confident: "What's wrong? Players are eagerly waiting for our game. Isn't it a good thing to let them play it as soon as possible!"
"Besides, the game has been developed, why are you still hiding it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they felt that what Li Rushan said was somewhat reasonable and difficult to refute.
In the end, Yao Wenyang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.
After all, he is an old man in the gaming industry, has rich experience, and is better able to tell the risks behind these operations.
“Mr. Li, you absolutely must not!
“The reason why other game companies rarely do things like reverse bounce is because the risks and benefits are completely out of proportion!
“The development time of game companies is basically very tight, and it is inevitable to encounter various unexpected problems during the development process. The actual development time required is often longer than estimated.
"Under such circumstances, there may be various problems if the product is released on schedule, let alone if it is released in advance?
"And the most important problem is that our game itself has no special promotion arrangements. There are no offline activities or online promotions. So far, we have only released a promotional video.
“The release date has been temporarily changed, and players don’t know it!”
Li Rushan was speechless for a moment, he was a little convinced.
I had no choice but to look at Lu Zhixing, hoping to get some help.
Lu Zhixing pondered for a moment: "On this point, I rather agree with Mr. Li. We will reverse the delay and sell it in advance."
Yao Wenyang was stunned: "Ah?"
Oops, the brain circuits of these two bosses have magically come together again. How can this be done?
Li Rushan was very happy: "Quick, Mr. Lu, tell me your opinion!"
Lu Zhixing said: "Although the reverse bounce operation has certain risks, the benefits are also huge! It allows players who are eager to play the game as early as possible, and it can also demonstrate our company's efficient R&D speed and strength to the outside world.
Project management skills are a good thing!
"And you said that our game's promotion link is relatively weak, so it shouldn't be released in advance? I think it's the opposite.
“It’s precisely because we don’t have those fancy offline activities or overwhelming online promotions that we can easily turn around and be more suitable for reverse bounces!
"Think about it, those big companies often spend millions or tens of millions on publicity, and a whole set of publicity plans affects the whole body. How easy is it to change the date?
"Not to mention anything else, just changing the promotional materials on offline billboards is enough for them to drink.
"But we are different. So far we only have one promotional video, so it will be much easier to change it."
Yao Wenyang was stunned when he heard this. How could he be like this?
Hmm... think about it carefully, does it really make sense?
Even an experienced old guy like him was bypassed by Lu Zhixing.
Li Rushan was overjoyed and high-fived Lu Zhixing in celebration.
Very good. I just know that Mr. Lu, you are my Wolong and my internet mouthpiece. That’s great!
"Then what are you waiting for? Arrange for early release immediately!"
Li Rushan gave the order, and the entire 404 Studio became busy. Some people submitted applications for early release to the official, and some were busy changing the promotional videos...
The release date of "Walking with Darkness" was delayed by four days, from Saturday to Tuesday!
