Chapter 898: Chapter 354: Hacker Crime!
He tried using his phone...
but couldn’t log into the forum anymore.
"These people..."
He clenched his teeth, his expression extremely grim.
The other party really wasn’t joking with him.
They actually...
sent hackers to attack the forum.
"Report it to the police."
Looking at the nearly collapsing backend, Ma Ming sighed lightly.
Faced with this kind of situation...
he had no other options, he could only report it to the police.
Pure hard power...
He couldn’t even find the address of the hackers, he could only seek help from the police.
...
Meanwhile.
Jin City.
Mountain and Water Garden District.
After posting the video, Qin Mu also logged into the Study Law Alliance Forum.
Planning to check on his fans.
However...
he tried logging in for a long time but couldn’t get in.
"Is there a problem with my internet?"
He frowned, somewhat surprised.
After checking over his phone’s network connection.
He found that his network was fine.
Which meant...
there was a problem with the forum itself.
"That’s strange, why is the server so slow?"
Qin Mu muttered to himself, unable to hold back.
A while ago.
The forum’s user count surged, and Ma Ming had already fully upgraded the forum.
Logically speaking.
it shouldn’t be this laggy.
The forum, which was supposed to be bustling with activity, had turned quite quiet.
Very few new posts appeared.
Even those old posts...
showed server crashes and couldn’t be loaded.
"It should get better soon."
Qin Mu shook his head, not taking the issue seriously.
Website crashes like this...
used to happen all the time, for any reason.
The forum crashed once every few days recently.
He was almost used to it.
Afterward.
He clicked on Little Station, opened his latest updated video comment section.
Only to find the comment section...
full of people discussing the forum crash.
"Did you all fail to log in too? Looks like it’s been hijacked by someone."
"No way? Who would dare, don’t they know who’s backing this?"
"Speaking of which, what’s the crime of hacking a website?"
"That’s beyond my knowledge, out of my expertise."
...
Seeing rare normal comments in the comment section.
Qin Mu’s brows furrowed again.
These people...
are all from the forum, seemingly unable to post on the forum, like him.
Even logging in was an issue.
"Are hackers really attacking the forum?"
He raised his eyebrows, somewhat shocked.
Having been reborn.
He had encountered all sorts of things but rarely experienced such hacker attacks.
Generally speaking.
Cybercrime is the hardest to prevent and capture.
Hacker attacks are handled by specialized cybersecurity departments, who trace hacker addresses, to file and pursue a case.
This organization...
is always mysterious, rarely appearing.
The once famous Panda Burning Incense was one such representative case.
Rumor had it that it was created by an entire team of hackers.
It spread continuously online.
Causing significant economic loss.
The reason it was finally resolved...
was because the hacker group was found and controlled from the source.
But...
capturing these cunning hackers is extremely difficult.
As for the crimes related to hackers that the commenters are concerned about...
they mostly fall under computer information crimes.
Such as crimes of illegal intrusion into computer information systems, illegal acquisition of computer system data, illegal control of computer systems, providing intrusion, illegal control of computer system programs, tools, etc.
These crimes...
are action crimes, meaning as long as the action is performed, regardless of consequences, it constitutes a crime.
Those committing these crimes.
If no severe consequences are caused, they’re usually sentenced to less than three years in prison or detention.
If severe consequences and losses are caused, they will be sentenced to three to ten years in prison.
Being a hacker is actually a high-risk occupation.
In prison.
Many involved in computer information crimes were jailed due to illegal intrusion.
"It might not be hackers either?"
Going over the related computer information crimes in his mind, Qin Mu couldn’t help but think.
The forum might just be experiencing regular lag.
It might get better after a while.
He didn’t take the matter to heart.
...
The next day.
In the nursing home.
Qin Mu was up to the same old antics.
When he had nothing to do.
He took out his phone, planning to log into the forum to check the situation.
Only to find...
The forum has been constantly crashing and cannot be logged into.
Many netizens are homeless and have returned to the section under his video.
They started leaving comments.
"UP, our old base is gone, I heard it was attacked by hackers."
"The other side entirely doesn’t take you seriously, UP. It’s been a day, and the forum is still inaccessible!"
"I privately messaged the site admin, and they said hackers attacked the forum!"
"UP, it’s time to act."
"..."
Seeing the private messages in the backend of Little Station.
Qin Mu also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Turns out...
The forum was indeed attacked, and it had been hijacked for so long.
It hasn’t recovered yet.
His fans...
Again became homeless.
"What do these hackers want from attacking the forum?"
Qin Mu frowned, somewhat puzzled.
This forum has never been for profit; it’s always been about promoting the law and sharing legal knowledge.
A purely academic forum.
Although there are some jokers, it remains very pure.
There’s no entanglement in any interest dispute.
The hackers...
Are they attacking the forum out of pure boredom?
At this moment.
A voice automatically sounded in Qin Mu’s mind.
"Ding! Illegal network intrusion detected around the host, triggering a new task now!"
"Ding! Please choose one of the following three tasks for the host:
1. Make the illegal intruder give up the attack on the forum voluntarily;
2. Punish the hacker for illegal intrusion and let them face legal sanctions;
3. Punish the mastermind appropriately and uproot the criminals."
"Ding! Task difficulty varies, and random rewards will be given based on the completion level after the task is done."
Right after that.
Three lines of text options appeared in front of Qin Mu.
Each choice...
Represents a task direction.
"Even a mission has been triggered..."
Qin Mu stared at these three different tasks, feeling a sinking sensation in his heart.
It seems...
This incident is not small, and there is a "mastermind" hidden behind it.
Right now, he doesn’t understand why this mastermind is troubling an academic forum.
"I choose three."
After a brief hesitation.
This time, he still chose the most challenging task, three.
This task...
Requires him to expose the mastermind and let them face legal sanctions.
Compared to the first two tasks.
This task is undoubtedly the most difficult.
"To complete this task, I must first figure out... who the other party is."
Qin Mu took a deep breath and began to think seriously.
If he doesn’t know the specific situation, he can’t determine which law the other party has violated.
Although hacking belongs to computer information crimes.
Not all hacking intrusions fall under computer information crimes.
Some hacking intrusions steal and leak confidential company information, constituting a crime of infringing trade secrets.
If the circumstances are severe, it’s punishable by imprisonment of up to three years and/or a fine; if particularly severe, imprisonment of three to ten years and a fine.
Some are intended to harm competitors, resulting in unfair business competition, constituting a crime of damaging commercial credibility.
In general, it leads to administrative fines; if severe, it incurs criminal liability.
Some hacking intrusions are for money, which constitutes the crime of extortion.
Using improper means, coercion, or threats to illegally obtain and extort property, constitutes typical extortion.
The penalty varies based on the amount extorted...
Some hackers act solely for personal desire, causing malicious destruction...
This constitutes the crime of provocation, punishable by imprisonment of up to five years, control, or detention.
In conclusion.
Each crime is different, and he must at least figure out the other party’s identity to take further action.
"System, activate the [Void Spy] function."
After a short thought.
Qin Mu directly activated the previously acquired function and logged into the forum.
Intending to see who exactly...
Has been attacking the forum.
His [Void Spy] skill can trace the IP address on the network accurately along the internet line.
However...
When the system function was activated, the IP he saw was actually from abroad!
Not domestic.
"These hackers... are a bit cunning."
Qin Mu squinted his eyes and sincerely sighed.
His [Void Spy] skill can track the real IP of the other party.
No matter how much camouflage the other party does, the real IP address cannot be hidden.
No wonder the other party dares to act so recklessly.
It turns out...
They directly slipped to a foreign country.
In this way, ordinary people really can’t do anything about them.
This kind of cross-border crime...
Is often the most troublesome, involving international relations and extradition laws, territoriality, and personality.
Even if he reports it to the police now and provides the foreign IP, the domestic side is out of reach.
"Let’s solve the forum problem first."
Looking at the forum that was constantly crashing, Qin Mu looked at the misfortune value he recently acquired.
After the last campus incident.
He received a reward of 1000 misfortune points.
Just in time to give these hackers behind the scenes...
A package of bad luck.
"System, use the misfortune value, targeting these hackers, duration three days!"
Without any hesitation.
Qin Mu directly used 500 misfortune points, applying them all to these hackers.
The horror of the misfortune value...
He had witnessed it before.
It can bring a series of unfortunate and tragic incidents to a person in a short time.
Even life-threatening!
