Chapter 674 Eagle Sauce, You Are Cruel!
Fort Meade, Maryland, USA.
The National Security Agency (NSA) is located in a forest at Fort Meade. As the most mysterious intelligence organization in the United States, nsa has always hired the world's best mathematicians, computer scientists and linguists to work for it.
NSA has thousands of listening stations all over the world, and they monitor the entire earth from every corner of the ground, sea, sky and even the universe. And this information provides an important reference for the decision-making of the United States to control the world.
Fukuyama, a Japanese-American, is an excellent communication and computer expert. His job is to work with hundreds of colleagues to make the huge NSA satellite monitoring network operate normally. And today he suddenly discovered that there was a problem with a national defense communication satellite, and one of the transponders on this satellite did not work.
"Hey... a dscs-3 satellite has malfunctioned, and one of its transponders no longer responds to our commands." Fukuyama said to his white colleagues. As a Japanese descendant, he habitually discusses with his colleagues before reporting to his superiors.
Fukuyama's white colleague frowned, and he confirmed the situation on his monitoring platform, "You are right, there is indeed a problem with one of the transponders. But maybe we should consult NASA first, ask them Views."
The transponder is a key component of a communication satellite, and it is responsible for the transmission of radio information. And NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and if there is a problem with the satellite, those experts are always needed to solve it.
So Fukuyama sent an inquiry to NASA's ground control station, and was told that the dscs-3 had been used for more than ten years and was approaching the end of its life, so there might indeed be problems. But the specific situation needs to do some testing.
One day passed this test, but when Fukuyama came back to work the next day, he received a reply from the NASA ground control station: everything was normal with the satellite, and there was no problem with the transponder.
how can that be? Obviously no longer working.
The seriousness of the Japanese came up, Fukuyama began to search for the root of the problem, and found that the transponder was indeed working normally, and it was still working at full capacity, and it rejected other commands.
It's so weird, a lot of data is being transmitted from the transponder of this geostationary satellite, which means it has been working for at least a whole day. This is not right, that user will monopolize a transponder for an entire day? And the data transfer is not over yet.
Fukuyama immediately reported the situation to his supervisor, so several employees of the National Security Bureau came to analyze the problem. They first discovered that the transponder was contacting the supercomputer host of the Ministry of Justice, and had been reading from the host's database. enormous information.
"Hell,
This is not normal. Turn off this transponder immediately, hackers must have hacked us. "The supervisor was anxious on the spot. As an institution that specializes in monitoring others, it was hacked. This is a major leak, enough to send a hapless person to spend the rest of his life in prison.
"We can't turn it off." Fukuyama was already sweating profusely. When he tried to control the satellite on the ground, he found that the satellite refused to accept instructions. "Hackers have higher control authority than me."
This news is even more shocking than the hacking. Generally, hackers can only take advantage of some loopholes, but now the high-level control authority is actually controlled by someone, which is even more troublesome.
Fukuyama's authority is not enough, the supervisor is on; the supervisor's authority is not enough, a more senior supervisor was called over, and finally even the nasa engineer who controlled the satellite on the ground was dumbfounded. Now the one who controls the satellite is to leave the lowest level of control authority when it is manufactured , is exclusive.
How to do?
This matter was reported layer by layer, and the director of the National Security Bureau was called over, but everyone was a little helpless. A satellite tens of thousands of kilometers away from the ground is disobedient, so what can they do?
It seemed that he realized that he had been discovered. Originally, the dscs-3 had only one transponder secretly stealing data. Now it's all right, all eight transponders are out of control, and they are transmitting data like crazy.
"Notify the Ministry of Justice immediately and ask them to disconnect the mainframe from the outside world." The director can only think of a solution that is not a solution.
When the Justice Department heard the suggestion, it was already going crazy. Since receiving the notification from the National Security Agency, their mainframe operation and maintenance personnel have discovered that their data for the past two years has been turned upside down, and there are no secrets left!
Such a catastrophic event, the Minister of Justice can't bear it!
Do you want me to disconnect the host from the outside world? This is even more of a joke. With this disconnection, all government systems in the United States have to be shut down, because the official document transmission channel for all senior members of the US government relies on the host computer of the Department of Justice.
If this is disconnected, all civil servants should get off work, and they won't be able to work anyway.
Just when this matter alarmed the President, the National Security Agency sent another alert to the Ministry of Finance to quickly disconnect the satellite communication interface, and now the hackers ran to invade your central host.
Holy crap... this thing is getting big!
The Ministry of Finance was much happier than the Ministry of Justice. The Minister of Finance didn't want to end up in the same embarrassing situation as the Ministry of Justice, so he quickly disconnected the physical connection. This is fun, the national financial system is paralyzed in minutes.
This scene made the Americans collectively dumbfounded, especially the main computer of the Ministry of Finance was disconnected, and the IRS under the Ministry of Finance also stopped. I, who claimed to be able to run amok in the United States, finally discovered that I, who had always been frightening, was actually brought down by a disconnection of the Internet.
But the Ministry of Finance was not the first to be unlucky. Next, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Energy, and important departments in the United States began to disconnect themselves from satellite communications. Usually the extremely convenient Internet is finished when it is finished.
In the end, Americans found that they had bid farewell to the Internet age in the blink of an eye, and only wired telephones and faxes were the most reliable. While this only lasted a few hours before it returned to normal, it was enough to feel terribly frightened.
This fucking is a second 911!
Huh..., have we said this before?
Of course, Americans feel that it is better for the IRS to continue to disconnect from the Internet. They don't want the institution back to work at all.
In the White House, President Yingjiang was furious, "This is a terrorist attack, who did it? Is there any organization claiming to be involved in this matter? We must catch this terrorist who dared to provoke the United States."
However, the director of the National Security Agency who initially reported the matter drooped his head and said: "Due to a major loophole in the existing secure communication mechanism, we are busy replacing all satellite communication hardware in the entire government, and as for the attackers of this incident, We are still investigating."
To put it bluntly, the opponent's level is not average, and he hasn't caught it yet!
The president felt that he was completely useless.
And at the University of Chicago Libraries, highly intelligent black boxes sounded the alarm when Fukuyama tried to regain control of the satellite transponders. Zhou Qingfeng and others were about to reach out to the U.S. Treasury Department, but they found that the Treasury Department simply disconnected.
As soon as the Ministry of Finance was disconnected, all other US government departments would be disconnected from the Internet without Zhou Qingfeng's intervention. Fuck, Lao Mei has already found out, run away quickly! He yelled, "The wind is tight, huh", and slipped away with the black box.
And the quick response of the Americans and the extravagance of the shots are even more eye-catching. They directly used their strategic reserves to deal with a nuclear war, launched dozens of backup communication satellites into the sky, and completely revised the communication mechanism and protocol.
The strength of the great power shown behind this is astonishing, and the US government quickly returned to normal. The investigation work was in full swing, and the black box brought by Zhou Qingfeng was naturally unusable for the time being.
Eagle sauce, you are cruel!
But fortunately, all the data and information I want are already available. (To be continued.)
