Chapter 1031 What a Coincidence, Just Right
It was two o'clock in the afternoon EST.
The President of the United States is having fun with the media on Twitter (Twitter).
"Every American citizen, our media is a wholesale center for fake news. Please don't believe those Fake-news, but trust my Twitter. — PS: It's not American if you don't retweet..."
"I'm Proud I'm American!"
"Trust me! I'm going to make America great again!"
Just about to continue sending a few more tweets, I heard the landline phone on the desk ring.
This is the presidential line. Generally, calls come in because of important events.
The President of the United States reluctantly put away his mobile phone, picked up the landline phone, and said "Hello" lazily.
"Mr. President, I'm Hirondt. Are you free? I need half an hour to inform you about a cyber attack that our country has just suffered!" The caller was Major General Hirondt, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency.
The President of the United States suddenly trembled with anger, "What?! Say it again?! Someone dares to attack my network in the United States?! This is not giving me a way out!"
Without the Internet, there would be no Twitter. How can he continue to be the president!
Major General Hilent has long been accustomed to the image of the President as an "advanced Internet addict" and didn't care much. He still said in a business-like tone: "Mr. The **** of our American cybersecurity."
"Okay! I support it!" The President of the United States breathed a sigh of relief, "Major General Hirondt, I knew you would make great contributions to making America great again!"
At this time, the director of the CIA, Major General Hirondt, also said in his heart that mmp didn't know what to say.
He took a deep breath and came to the President's Oval Office.
"Mr. President, this is a report on a cyber attack that just happened. Please look over it." The CIA director, Major General Hirondt, put a 500-word report in front of the President.
The President of the United States looked at it with a frown, pointed to the report and said, "I saw the cyber attack here, but what about the damage? Have you evaluated it?"
Major General Hilent nodded and took out another 1,000-word report, "Here are the fixed asset loss assessment report and the intangible asset assessment report."
These two reports are full of numbers, and most people would find it difficult to look at them, but the President of the United States is a successful businessman, and he is most sensitive to numbers.
So when he saw the two reports, he became even more angry, pounding on the table and roaring: "It's too much! Didn't you mean a cyber attack?! How did you lose so many computers?! You think I'm stupid?!"
Is it possible to climb over the network cable and smash the computer? !
Major General Hilent: "..."
The veins on his forehead twitched, he pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said expressionlessly: "Because that place is also the largest backup storage base in our country, and all data in the world since the birth of the Internet is backed up there. —Of course, except for the encrypted intranets of various countries.”
Those encrypted intranets are a hard place for their automated downloaders to get into, which is one of the reasons they started experimenting with smart programming languages.
If the intelligent programming language is fully developed, they can hand over the task of downloading data into the encrypted intranet to the intelligent program.
This time, the internal network of the Huaxia Empire was invaded by them with a smart program. Unfortunately, before their smart program was developed and perfected, it was discovered and eliminated...
"So what?" the President of the United States glared at his CIA director, "How come all the Internet data in the world is backed up here? Have you asked them to charge for usage? Can the backup data in our base be used in vain?"
Major General Hilent: "..."
Forget it, he has given up treatment.
Major General Hilent did not explain more security aspects to the President, but directly said: "Mr. President, this proposal is very good, and we will consider it. But now our question is,
We were hacked by the Chinese Empire and suffered heavy losses. "
"...You haven't said why you lost so much hardware because of the network intrusion." The President of the United States is a very shrewd businessman, so it's not easy to fool around.
Major General Hilent explained again: "Because it is a backup base, the facilities are very strict. From electricity to fire protection, it is all for hundreds of years of uninterrupted storage time. Therefore, when the Chinese Empire's network attack suddenly hit, Our people had no choice but to use physical destruction to destroy the computers infected by the Trojan horse virus."
Because of the particularity of the backup base, they cannot shut down all the equipment, and only physically destroy the infected equipment.
Of course, the biggest reason is that the person in charge of the secret laboratory never expected that the "Pink Pig" who had disappeared for half a year would suddenly appear and join the hacker organization of the Chinese Empire to launch an attack on their American network!
The most cunning thing is that Pink Pig used a Trojan horse virus to disguise itself as a system file, and was packaged and brought back by them...
Just thinking about it makes me vomit blood.
The person in charge, Mr. X, kept yelling that "Pink Piggy" was too cunning, and he wanted to "find him out" and fight him once!
Major General Hilent believes that if Pink Pig can't be used by them, the only option is to let him disappear physically, that is, let him die.
The President of the United States finally understood the meaning of Major General Hilent, pondered for a while, and said, "What do you need me to do?"
Finally hit the road...
Major General Hilent almost burst into tears.
He hurriedly said: "Mr. President, if our efforts don't work, then we hope that you can directly put pressure on the Chinese Imperial Government to let them hand over the 'Pink Piggy'!"
The President of the United States raised his hand and agreed without hesitation, "It's no problem. This is what I, as the President of the United States, should do for the cyber security of the United States. If you can't find out who 'Pink Pig' is, I will Will put pressure on the Chinese Empire government to let them hand over this person."
Major General Hilent was surprised again, and blushed a little.
Unexpectedly, the president, who was extremely unreliable in his heart, suddenly understood what he meant.
He just thought that if he couldn't find out the real identity of this "Pink Piggy", he would come directly and ask the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs to put pressure on the Chinese Empire to hand them over.
But doing so means that their CIA is incompetent, they can't even find a hacker, and the government has to come forward to use diplomatic pressure to force the other party to surrender, which is a bit embarrassing.
The meaning of the twists and turns here is that most people can't hear it.
But their Mr. President understood it all at once.
It should be said that this seemingly unreliable President of the United States is also a dark horse in the general election. Except for the voters who voted for him, probably even he himself does not believe that he has really been elected president!
However, since he has become the president and seeks to govern in his position, he will still conscientiously complete his presidential work and work hard for the great rejuvenation of the United States!
After discussing the action steps with the President, Major General Hilent thanked the President very much for his support for his work, and for the first time, he saluted the President with a sincere and inexhaustible military salute.
The President of the United States noticed the change in the attitude of the CIA director, and he was also very happy. He couldn't control his mouth for a while, and said: "Don't worry, if they don't hand over people, I will kill them on Twitter! Make them ashamed in front of the whole world!"
Major General Hilent really wanted to take back the goodwill he had just had...
He closed his eyes and told the president: "Mr. President, this matter must be kept absolutely secret before diplomatic pressure is exerted. So I hope you will not send any tweets within 24 hours."
Because the only way to keep the president from leaking information is to keep him from tweeting at all.
Major General Hilent would very much like to confiscate the president's cell phone if he could.
Of course, it's just a thought.
How could he confiscate the president's mobile phone? !
"I have a measure." The President of the United States waved his hand, "Don't worry."
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon, US time, is also two o'clock in the morning in the Chinese Empire.
In the central control room of the Chinese Empire's imperial capital, everyone experienced a tense cyber battle, and finally relaxed.
Except that some people are still scanning the network to remove the traces left by the US cyber attack, most people are resting.
Gu Nianzhi sat beside Huo Shaoheng, chatting with him from time to time, analyzing the source code restored by the four-line intelligent program.
"It seems that these four lines of instructions were implanted into this monitoring software half a year ago." Gu Nianzhi pointed to the monitoring software dedicated to the Secret Service on the display screen.
"Well, it should be implanted for the prime minister's general election." Huo Shaoheng looked higher and further.
He will never forget that time, someone seemed to have stretched an invisible net.
First transfer him out of the country, then lure Gu Nianzhi out, and finally requisition the central control room to "monitor" the general election.
Coincidentally, the general election at that time was supervised by the Secret Service and the Central Control Room of the Special Operations Division.

PS: It was broadcast on the TV news in the United States. The United States really has such a base, which continuously stores global Internet data since the birth of the Internet... Maybe our chat records and emails sent a long time ago can all be there find backup...
mwah!
