Chapter 41 Kevin Missed!
Just when Fan Wubing was filled with joy in the province, a call from Hong Kong poured cold water on him.
"Boss, I seem to be being targeted." Kevin said when he called Fan Wubing.
"How could this be? Could it be that the Samsung Group and the Japanese company also have experts in network security?" Fan Wubing was very surprised and didn't understand why Kevin missed.
When sending Kevin to Hong Kong, Fan Wubing had already told him very clearly that he should concentrate on his business and not take care of other nosy things. Logically, there is no one in the Samsung Group or Japanese companies that can compare with Kevin. Opponent? What happened this time?
"Recently, my work has been relatively smooth, so I couldn't help but feel itchy, so I went to the San Diego-class computer center for a walk." Kevin said a little embarrassedly.
Uh, Fan Wubing couldn't help moaning.
Kevin likes to challenge himself, he knows this, otherwise he would not be the number one hacker wanted in the country, and he was caught by Fan Wubing on the Internet, acting as his own master hacker, and used it for himself on the Internet. Spy on the opponent's intelligence and core information.
In order to trap him, he even bought Kevin's accomplices and set up a trap to lure him into the trap. However, Kevin's skills and luck are equally good. He entered the internal network, and even if he discovered their conspiracy, he was able to escape smoothly. . \
Kevin has always been very keen on things that challenge the limits of hackers, so the San Diego-level computer center has always been an important goal for him. The security experts here are all top-notch in the United States. If you can break through the system here without being seen through by others, then that is the acme of life.
"Can't you calm down a little?" Fan Wubing couldn't help scolding him.
But Fan Wubing is also very clear. Trying to make the Kevin Principle dangerous is as impossible as trying to get addicts to give up their drugs. When Kevin was in prison. He once transformed an ordinary am/fm radio into a eavesdropping weapon capable of eavesdropping on the conversations of prison administrators, which forced him to be kept alone in a cell to avoid contact with others.
It's no wonder that some people said that as long as Kevin is given a telephone line and keyboard, he can hack into any system he wants to enter. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also fully demonstrates Kevin's strength. *****
But Fan Wubing understood a little bit. Kevin's only failure was at the San Diego-level computer center, where he met Tsutomu Shimomura, an outstanding expert in computer network security.
This time Kevin told himself that he was being watched,
And it was at the San Diego-level computer center, Fan Wubing immediately thought of Tsutomu Shimomura, he must be eyeing Kevin.
Now that Kevin is being targeted, it is not suitable to stay in Hong Kong. After all, Americans and British people wear the same pair of pants. It is possible to catch people through the Hong Kong police at any time. Although Kevin is using a fake identity in Hong Kong, there is no guarantee that no one will find his roots by following the vines. When the time comes, he will obtain Samsung Group's LCD technology through Kevin. , and some financial data from Japan and the United States. Undoubtedly it will be exposed. This is what Fan Wubing doesn't want to see.
"That's good, you destroy all the tools. Don't leave any traces." Fan Wubing said to Kevin, "I will send someone over to pick you up as soon as possible. After the matter subsides, I will return to you." Make a decision."
After hesitating for a while, Kevin said, "I'm just skeptical, and I haven't noticed any major moves or suspicions from the other party. And I've been cracking the Federal Reserve's network recently, and I believe there will be results soon."
Hacking the Fed's network? ! Fan Wubing was startled by Kevin again, and he immediately ordered, "Okay, before tomorrow night at the latest, you must destroy all materials and equipment, and important documents can be handed over to other employees to bring them first." When you come back to the mainland, I will contact the security department and give you the convenience of customs clearance."
"Good boss, I believe there will be results tonight." Kevin has great expectations for breaking the Fed in a short time. He has always wanted to know what kind of secrets are hidden in the institution that manages the dollar. ?
In fact, not only him, but even Fan Wubing was very curious about the secrets of the Federal Reserve, otherwise he would not have promised Kevin to stay in Hong Kong until tomorrow night before evacuating. According to his habit, since something is wrong, he should evacuate first just in case.
"Federal Reserve! Greenspan—" Fan Wubing shook his head, thinking of that shrewd and capable Jewish old man. If he could get some secret information from him, it would be very beneficial for him to grasp the American way of thinking. of.
After thinking about it, Fan Wubing always felt a little uneasy. Kevin is a guy who always likes to challenge himself. It is hard to believe that he will act in a low-key manner. If it is revealed that the person who is attacking the Federal Reserve network is Kevin, trouble will arise. It was very big, so he contacted several security personnel in Hong Kong, that is, the seals he personally selected and sent there, and asked them to pay attention to the movements of the Hong Kong police. There is a way to bring Kevin out, even if he fights with the police, he must ensure that Kevin can escape. ^^^^
While Fan Wubing was strategizing, on the other side of the ocean in the United States, the special agents of the United States mobilized dozens of network security experts to scan the Federal Reserve's network to track down intrusions from unknown sources.
The person who led these people to hunt down Kevin was the Japanese Shimomura Tsutomu, a network security expert at the San Diego-Class Computer Center.
Dozens of computers were turned on, and everyone was sitting in front of several computers, carefully analyzing some unique data streams in order to find problems. At night, the traffic of the main server changed abnormally, and everyone's emotions suddenly changed The son was mobilized.
"Attention all units, there is a suspicious target." Tsutomu Shimomura cheered up and said to everyone.
After the San Diego-level computer center was invaded, he noticed that the intrusion method was old and skillful, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing water. undoubtedly. *****
Tsutomu Shimomura, as the chief security expert of the computer center, was very angry at Kevin's intrusion, and he vowed to catch Kevin and avenge his shame.
I just found him and said that the computer network of the Federal Reserve has been invaded by unknown persons recently. Although it was not successful, judging from the traces on the scene, it seems a bit like Kevin's method. They hope that Tsutomu Shimomura can participate in the hunt for Kevin. come.
Tsutomu Shimomura only thought about it for a while, and agreed. It is not shameful to say that he can face the world's top hacker Kevin Mitnick. Although it takes up resources, if he can achieve his goal, it will be enough to make himself famous in one fell swoop.
Therefore, he became the leader of the team hunting down Kevin, based on the Fed's network, waiting here to wait for Kevin's appearance.
As for Kevin, Tsutomu Shimomura has also done some research. Kevin is conceited. Now that he has started to attack the Federal Reserve Network Center, he will not return without success. That is not his style. Therefore, Tsutomu Shimomura believes that the best way to deal with Kevin is to stay in the Federal Reserve network, where he will definitely come back, and wait for him to come automatically.
The experts on the scene immediately analyzed the intruded data, quickly found the source of the other party, skipped one disguise after another, and finally found Kevin's hiding place.
"He should be in Hong Kong!" Tsutomu Shimomura said to those who had been waiting for a long time.
"There are more than five million tourists in Hong Kong, can you confirm where they are?" asked the person in charge.
"Then we need time to continue to scan and analyze his data sources." Tsutomu Shimomura sat back in front of the computer again, typing on the keyboard with both hands quickly, typing line after line of instructions on the screen.
On the other side of the earth, Kevin was in a five-star hotel in Hong Kong. At this time, there were three computers connected to the Internet in front of him. The staff had already evacuated with the information. They checked in with false identities in hotels they had never been to before, and then began to invade frantically.
At midnight, Kevin finally broke through the Fed's system and successfully entered the other party's core database.
"I should really have a drink to celebrate! It's a pity that I'm the only one here!" Kevin watched the data being downloaded by him with some excitement, reached out to the table and took a can of beer, and drove the pull tab. "We found the source! It's in a five-star hotel!" At the same time, Tsutomu Shimomura and others also discovered Kevin's hiding place, stood up excitedly, and clapped each other to celebrate.
"Contact the Hong Kong police immediately and let them arrest people." The leader at the scene immediately ordered.
"At this time, it is estimated that the Hong Kong police are all asleep." A Chinese expert from Hong Kong said to him.
As soon as the leader heard it made sense, he said, "Well then, I believe there must be no one sleeping in the Flying Tigers in Hong Kong, so contact them directly for help."
"Dealing with them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Kevin to be extradited." One said with a frown.
The British also attached great importance to hacker geniuses like Kevin. They couldn't easily hand over the people they captured to the Americans, which would be too cheap for them.
"We'll talk about this later, the most important thing is to catch the talent first!" the leader said decisively.
After all, Kevin has messed up the entire American computer network these days. If he can't be caught, people like himself will really have no face in the public eye.
