493: Chapter 493 Zhang Shiqing's Son Gains Respect Again

"Didn't they say Taishan System was secure enough? How come this is failing too?"

[Remember our domain name: Taiwan Novel Network for a great experience, super awesome]

"Does the system have major security flaws?"

At the same time, the media and digital bloggers who had long been prepared immediately jumped into the fray.

"Southern Newspaper": Self-developed system has serious hidden dangers; Taishan System exposed to have major security vulnerabilities, user data faces risk of leakage!

Immediately after, other news media outlets also reposted it at the first opportunity, and they even mixed in quotes from some "insiders."

In markets like Europe and the United States, the related rumors spread even more widely, and some even claimed that Taishan System had a backdoor left by China.

In the secret server room, watching the attack data jumping on the screen and the steadily rising number of virus infections, the Lizard revealed a smug smile on his face.

"Is the Transsion security team really only at this level? At this speed, we will be able to breach their outer firewall and touch their core database in 12 hours at most."

"Lizard, don't be so arrogant! For such a top-tier large enterprise, their protective layers are definitely not that simple. I estimate they still have multi-layered protection inside. It will take at least another week!"

Thompson stood behind them, his originally tense face relaxing.

"Take it slow, no need to rush. This time we must hurt them, so the whole world knows that the system made by the Chinese is simply unreliable. Even if they really have many features, security is the most important."

Of course, his other goal was to make those fence-sitters understand that while Taishan System might look easy to use, it was actually a trap! And a deadly one at that!

Of course, what they didn't know was that at this moment, at the Transsion headquarters, the cybersecurity center had already raised the alarm to the highest level.

Transsion Network Security Department. At this moment, Liu Zhihong was already coordinating the entire department, but the enemy was too frantic; the entire screen was filled with red warning icons everywhere.

They were all attack traffic from all over the world... endless and continuous.

Fortunately, when Taishan System was first established, security was the top priority that Shen Fei emphasized to him. Although some devices crashed, fortunately, the information was preserved.

"Liu Zhihong, the bandwidth of the French node is full, and the same goes for Shenzhen..."

"The Terminal Security Department reports that 3,000 enterprise devices in our country have been infected with an unknown virus. The virus characteristics do not match any samples we know of; it is estimated to be developed specifically for Taishan System."

"Tracing team report! The attack sources are spread across more than 100 countries, all of which are zombie devices, and the real IP is hidden very deeply. But we have figured out the source; it originated from the United States..."

"We have already found some news; this is a special operation by the United States against us, aimed at destroying the reputation of our Taishan System."

Liu Zhihong instantly realized that this was aimed at him; they wanted to destroy all his achievements!

"Chen Feng, activate our level two protection capabilities, and simultaneously activate the level one emergency plan."

"Got it! Boss."

Chen Feng was part of the first batch of people doing cybersecurity, and also one of the first people to achieve financial freedom through the internet. Over the years, he had witnessed all kinds of attacks, but this was the first time he had encountered such a large-scale, targeted attack.

It seemed the opponent had prepared for a long time and had found vulnerabilities in Taishan System... Immediately after, the two of them joined the war.

All non-core business servers were temporarily taken offline, and the core database was disconnected from the external network for physical isolation.

"Central Security Department, analyze the virus samples immediately and come up with a temporary removal solution within 1 hour."

After fighting for a while, Liu Zhihong realized something was wrong because the virus was spreading too fast. Although he had left a contingency plan the year before last, the opponent was not a pushover either. The virus was still strengthening! He had to destroy this little bug!

As orders were issued one by one, a hundred network engineers began to act. At the same time, the reserve team also joined the battlefield and began to help!

Even Dave Burke joined the war, and soon he found Liu Zhihong.

"This style is a bit like Shadow and Ghost."

"I see, Burke, I will send someone to report to the boss right now."

...Just as they were taking action, the news reached the ears of Shen Fei. However, he was not panicked!

Firstly, he believed in the strength of the Transsion system department, and secondly, he had long anticipated that the United States would take action on the network level, so he had made arrangements in advance.

It's just that he didn't expect the commotion to be this big; the opponent really came with a plan for a fatal blow! But this happened to coincide with his own thoughts!

After all, the final line of defense of Taishan System was the ability to fight one against a hundred! To withstand global attacks with a single person.

"Boss, this is the information that Liu Zhihong has found so far; please take a look." After speaking, he hurriedly handed over the materials...

"The opponent's goal is very clear: first, they want to ruin the reputation of Taishan System and make our partners abandon our system. Second, they want to steal our core technical data."

Shen Fei looked at the data and silently gave a thumbs up in his heart. Facing such a huge crisis, not only was there no panic, but they had actually investigated so many useful things.

Shen Fei looked at Professor Li Jiahui and Wang Mengyang, who had just reported: "Professor Li Jiahui, has the technology for the chips been physically isolated? Professor Wang Mengyang, over at your battery side..."

"Boss, everything is arranged. Moreover, the latest Lithography Machine algorithms and semiconductor process parameters at the wafer factory are all stored in offline storage devices, and the external network cannot touch them at all."

"We believe that Liu Zhihong will definitely win. After all, the core source code of Taishan System is multi-encrypted. Even if they break through the firewall, what they get will only be encrypted fragments."

Shen Fei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the red private line phone in the office rang.

"Xiao Fei, the matter of your company being subjected to a cyberattack has already been reported to me by the people below. How is the situation? Do you need support from the province?"

"Now that I am the Provincial Governor, I can mobilize more resources, and currently, your matter has been reported to the higher-ups. At the upcoming press conference, we will definitely state our position."

"Huh?" Professor Li Jiahui, Wang Mengyang, and others in the office hurriedly stood up and leaned in, thinking that some more bad news had arrived.

But soon, Shen Fei revealed an expression of joy! "Dad, when did you become Provincial Governor? Weren't there no updates two days ago?"

"You little brat, what do you mean no updates? Ever since those two engines were delivered to Jiangnan Shipyard after the New Year, my position was set in stone. What the higher-ups were discussing was where to assign me. But this is really thanks to you; our family won't have to be separated."

Shen Fei was greatly surprised again; it seems the higher-ups really value this. After all... Before he could think too much, Zhang Shiqing continued: "Alright, let's talk business first. What is the situation exactly right now?"
