Chapter 245 The Attack Begins
Veridiania, vast and resource-rich, was a hub of talent.
With rapidly advancing technology, its swift development had held a significant position on the international stage, and its every word and action was closely watched.
Even when the Veridiania hacker forum experienced anomalies, it immediately drew the attention of hackers worldwide!
Hundreds of hacker forums were simultaneously hacked, with information altered.
This was not a small matter but definitely driven by a powerful force behind the scenes!
Someone was declaring war on the entire Veridiania hacker community!
Hackers from other countries were bound by rules not to intervene, but this battle was worth watching!
In no time, the topic "Veridiania Defense Battle" quickly topped the discussions in hacker forums worldwide, sparking heated debates.
Two factions emerged, each holding their own views.
One side supported Veridiania.
Despite its relatively short history, the Veridianian hacker community had already witnessed the emergence of three distinct generations of hackers. Currently, the most prominent were the fourth generation of hackers, the brightest stars of Veridiania!
Their capabilities were not to be underestimated!
Defending their own turf from external attacks should not be a problem!
The other side was not optimistic about Veridiania!
This attack clearly came from international hackers!
If they came from a strong nation, their network technology and hacking experience could surpass Veridiania by decades!
They might even be the pioneer of the hacking community.
Defeating Veridiania was just a matter of time!
However, led by Scorpion Dragon, the Veridiania hackers had no time to care about these opinions!
Indeed, they were powerful!
They had organized into formations, rapidly defending, repairing, and reclaiming control of the forums!
Nearly half of Veridiania's 200 hacker forums had already been reclaimed!
However, the situation was still not optimistic.
They were evenly matched with Geek Legion, resulting in a stalemate!
A decisive victory remained elusive!
Nearly a thousand Veridiania hackers were typing furiously, their expressions serious!
This opponent was extraordinarily powerful!
It looked like a prolonged battle!
In the abandoned school, skull lit a cigarette, looking defiantly at his fourth team.
This team consisted of 80 out of 168 hackers.
Their task was to attack the Veridiania hacker forums!
But three hours had passed, and even with premeditated plans, they had not achieved a decisive victory!
Minister Hoover frowned slightly. "Skull, don't tell me you can't even handle Veridiania's civilian hackers?"
"Sir, hacking is not as simple as you think. Now that the opponents are organizing a counterattack, it's normal not to break through in a short time!"
Skull took a casual drag of his cigarette, revealing a cold smile. "But that doesn't matter, because my real purpose is to attract the attention of those Veridiania fools! What's the point of occupying a few small hacker forums? I want to have more fun!"
Skull then waved his hand and shouted, "Third team, follow my orders! In two minutes, start attacking Veridiania's major internet companies!"
"Yes!" The 20 hackers of the third team responded excitedly!
It was finally their turn!
They were eager and ready!
They had already listed their targets, waiting to wreak havoc!
Ten minutes later, over 1,800 employees in Meta Platforms headquarters simultaneously received an email
Subject: "Happy Easter!"
Generally, Meta Platforms Company's network engineers were wary of such emails.
They wouldn't open them, treating them as spam.
However, among these 1,800 people, there were from other departments.
Such as administration, internal affairs, and even security personnel.
They didn't understand hacker tactics!
Someone clicked on the email.
The content was beautiful, a cute cartoon child holding a skull pumpkin!
The employee smiled inexplicably, thinking it was a blessing email!
Little did they knew that the moment they opened the email, a small program infiltrated the computer!
This program, crafted by a top hacker, was extremely hard to detect!
It quickly invaded Meta Platforms Company's intranet, then started cracking permissions, then preparing to cause damage!
This was a common hacker tactic called spear-phishing!
Each email carried a virus!
The contact information of 1,800 people had long been collected by Geek Legion through various means.
As long as one person opened the email, they succeeded!
It was impossible to guard against!
Jacob was still working at his desk in the office.
Suddenly he heard an exclamation and then looked through the glass window.
He saw an employee's computer suddenly go black and then display various unknown garbled codes!
Then more exclamations followed!
More and more staff's computers went black!
In an instant, thousands of computers on this floor were all affected!
Jacob was stunned!
Hacked again?
He didn't provoke Elbert!
A staff member rushed into the office, sweating profusely, "Mr. Russell, something's wrong! Our system has been infected with a virus! The virus has taken over our permissions and is now collecting our user data!"
Jacob jumped up!
What!
This was bad!
How could this happen!
He thought rapidly!
The system was hacked, and they wanted to take their user data?
This couldn't be Elbert's doing!
They didn't have as many users as he did!
Who could it be?
What did they want?
Jacob shouted, "Quickly assemble the engineers and rally the white-hat hackers for remediation!"
