490: Chapter 490 Unsuccessful Cyber ​​Attack

In the blink of an eye, the issue of documentation was brought up again.

The lead staff member was left speechless, his face turning pale and then flushed.

They had intended to use their regulatory status to exert pressure, but they hadn't expected the other party to have such a clear grasp of the law, insisting firmly on proper procedures.

"You are openly resisting regulation!" a young staff member shouted in a fit of rage, reaching out to pull the power plug of the server.

"Try it if you have the guts!" the Legal Director's tone suddenly turned cold. "Server data is protected by law. Unauthorized power cuts resulting in data loss constitute intentional destruction of company property! The last public official who cut off the power to a Xinghai Technology server is currently undergoing rehabilitation."

Lin Chen immediately stepped forward to protect the server. "Leaders, please think carefully. We have surveillance cameras overhead. If there is any abnormality with the data, it can be traced back to the specific person responsible."

The lead staff member glared fiercely at the impulsive subordinate, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He knew very well that if the data were actually destroyed, given Xinghai Technology's capabilities, they would definitely blow this matter up into a huge scandal.

He didn't know what the outcome for Feiyu Forum would be, but he, as the person in charge, would definitely not have a good ending.

"Since you insist on resisting, we will report the situation truthfully, and you will bear the consequences yourselves!" the lead staff member threw down a harsh threat and turned to leave with his team.

"Wait." The Legal Director raised a hand to stop them and pushed the template for the "Notice of Rectification" in front of them. "Since you leaders have come all this way, why not write down the problems you found clearly so we can have a basis for our rectification?"

The lead staff member paused, but didn't look back, hurrying away with his team. From start to finish, he didn't dare touch the notice that required a signature and official seal.

Not until the figures of the working group completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said gratefully to the Legal Director, "Director Li, thank you all so much today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to end this."

"You're welcome, this is our responsibility." The Legal Director smiled. "CEO Du gave specific instructions to fully ensure the legal operation of the forum. We will leave two lawyers to assist you with follow-up matters; contact us at any time if anything comes up."

...

When the news reached Chu Qianlan's office, he was reviewing the mass production progress report for the Tianshu flagship phone.

"Well done." Chu Qianlan tapped his fingertips on the desk, his eyes calm. "They didn't dare to sign because they were guilty. Tell Lin Chen's team to continue operations according to the plan. Not only should the special topic page not be taken down, but the pace of reviewing and publishing user tips should also be accelerated to take advantage of the momentum and expand public opinion."

"Additionally, add the Feiyu Forum icon to the xingliao software to guide users to Feiyu Forum and expand its scale. Aren't those social media platforms blocking our public opinion? Then we will build our own social platform."

Du Guangbai nodded. "I will arrange this later!"

He paused for a moment and continued, "Just in the last two days, there have been some changes in overseas public opinion, and many negative posts related to Tencent have been deleted. According to reports from our branches in various countries, it was those semiconductor giants who took action. I don't know if they did it casually or if they reached some sort of agreement with Tencent."

Chu Qianlan tossed the report onto the desk. "It certainly wasn't done casually. Even if they haven't reached a cooperation agreement with Tencent, they are still purposefully blocking the company's development. Don't worry about overseas public opinion for now; let's focus on dealing with Tencent."

Overseas public opinion is scattered and cannot be completely suppressed in a short time. Turning it around is extremely difficult. More importantly, the good or bad of overseas public opinion has very little impact on the dispute between Tencent and Xinghai Technology.

"Understood!" Du Guangbai replied and left, immediately coordinating with the Xinghai Technology product department and the Feiyu Forum team.

In less than 24 hours, the StarChat app and the PC version of the xingliao software completed their updates, adding a prominent "Feiyu Forum" icon that links directly to the Feiyu Forum homepage upon clicking.

The effect of the traffic support was immediate. In less than a day, the daily traffic for the Feiyu Forum homepage exceeded 20 million, with 800,000 new registered users. With the assistance of Xinghai Technology's technical staff, Lin Chen's team expanded the servers overnight, and the scale visibly grew.

However, this state only lasted for three days before Chu Qianlan received a warning from the Nuwa System: "Alert, according to data monitoring, Feiyu Forum is under a cyberattack!"

"Have you traced the source of the attack?" Chu Qianlan's eyes didn't change, and his tone was calm without a ripple.

In recent years, although Xinghai Technology and Starry Sky Technology have had the protection of the Nuwa System, they have still been attacked frequently.

Some hackers were just on a whim, wanting to find vulnerabilities in the servers, while others harbored considerable malice, directly using various saturation attacks with the intent to paralyze the servers.

The final result was that the Nuwa System's defense was impregnable, and most of the invading enemies would pay a heavy price. Especially those hackers who came with malicious intent; their losses were beyond imagination.

"The source of the attack has been locked. It is coming from multiple social media platforms, using a combination of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and malicious crawlers, with the goal of paralyzing the forum server." The Nuwa System's synthesized electronic voice responded quickly.

The attack traffic map instantly popped up on the screen, with red data streams surging like a tide toward the Feiyu Forum's server nodes, and some edge nodes had already issued warnings of response latency.

"Right on time." A cold sneer curled at the corners of Chu Qianlan's mouth. "Issue the command: temporarily take over the planet one Supercomputer, start the mirror servers, embed the Number Three network virus, and redirect the traffic attacking Feiyu Forum into them."

"Command executed. planet one Supercomputer takeover complete, mirror servers started, Number Three network virus embedded and ready." Just as the Nuwa System's synthesized electronic voice finished, the attack traffic map on the screen fluctuated violently.

The red data stream that had been surging toward the Feiyu Forum's main server was forcibly diverted to dozens of mirror nodes the moment it touched the defensive boundary.

These mirror servers perfectly replicated the interface of Feiyu Forum. All data crawled by the malicious crawlers carried hidden virus programs, while the DDoS attack traffic was digested layer by layer by the Supercomputer's computing power, and the main server's load rate instantly dropped from 98% back to a normal level.

"Simultaneously track the real IP of the attack source. Confirm which ones are associated with social media platforms and freeze the audit permissions of the corresponding platforms. For those that are not associated, destroy the servers."

Facing a cyberattack, Chu Qianlan didn't have the habit of calling the police; he always gave his opponents a head-on blow directly on the network. Since the other party dared to make a move, they had to be mentally prepared to pay the corresponding price.
