Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Godly Hacker, Overwhelming
Translator: 549690339
Finn Lewis initially thought that, if his power ran out, he would just borrow points from ZERO. But now, his power hadn’t run out yet. Great!
You guys are helping covering up, huh? Let’s just see how you do it! Seeing that the forum and official website of the university had returned to normal, Finn Lewis gave orders without hesitation, after all, he’s not afraid of the turmoil
now.
In fact, even though it had been a couple of hours since the incident, and clearly, some force was behind Robert Thomp, most of the students were still browsing the forum. The registration channel of the forum had not been opened yet, but the functions of browsing posts and replying were already available.
Even though countless students were cursing on the forum, this didn’t affect the overall situation. The university and Immortal Science Company were relieved, seeing no problems in the short term. Especially Immortal Science, which had called over all its security personnel who not only closely monitored all the company’s firewalls, they were also keeping an eye on the university forum.
However, just as the supervisor of Immortal Science Company relieved, one of the security staff blurted out, “Damn it!”
“What happened?”
“I got kicked out again!” With this security staff’s words, all of the security personnel quickly found out that they had been kicked out from the server, as were administrators and regular students from the university.
“Damn it! How is that possible?” The security staff of Immortal Science Company were nearly bugging their eyes out. They had been monitoring the company’s firewall but now… everybody was looking at each other before turning their eyes back to their computer screens. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the firewall!
How did the other side get in? They all found it unbelievable! However, what happened next was even more unbelievable!
“Damn! Have a look at the university forum!” Following the shout from a security staff, everybody quickly brought up the university forum. It was back to how it had been before, with an announcement posted at the top.
“Hah, that’s quite some fig leaf, covering so many people. Is this a Belmare Country porn film? Are you insulting the porn films from Belmare? Why did you find such a sleazy and fat actor? Also, when have Belmare porn films ever been in Flame Nation dialects? Alright, whatever you say. And that female teacher, you’re not the actress, right? Okay, I’ll just put this video up without any mosaic!”
“Also, you, the websites and servers that helped cover this up. Is this a virus? A virus my ass! Don’t you, the security staff, know the difference between a virus and a hacking attack? If you don’t, let me teach you! Bro, this is not a virus, it’s a hacker attack!”
Following the announcement, the hundred plus videos that had just popped up were visible, and the number had actually increased with twenty more new ones. Moreover, some bank account transaction records and secret recordings were also updated.
Not to mention how shocking these evidences were, the announcement itself made everyone burst into laughter. It wasn’t that these companies didn’t know what a virus or hacking was, they were simply trying to distract the public’s attention.
The ordinary students were shocked by the newly released material, especially the teacher who denied she was the one in the video. With the original video posted without mosaic, one could clearly see the faces. If you weren’t familiar with the people maybe you wouldn’t recognize them, but those who were familiar would surely know, right? The most tragic part was, the female teacher was already married.
However, the people in Immortal Science Company didn’t have time to think about all this, as all of them had been kicked out and couldn’t access the firewall page.
“Direct… Director! Our… all of our host servers have been hijacked! All of the company’s webpages have reprinted that announcement from the university forum, along with the videos and related links.” A security staff stuttered.
With successive reports from staff, the head of security at Immortal Science almost dropped his jaw. This was impossible! Although all the servers were hosted on the same platform, they were actually divided, and there were safety measures between them.
And now, all of them had been hacked into so quickly?
But soon, he didn’t have time to be shocked, as the clever security staff quickly opened some news websites that had helped Robert Thomp clear up the situation, which were also hacked! That includes several major domestic portal sites, all of which were completely infiltrated! At this point, the security director was not just shocked, he was covered in cold sweat! What kind of person was behind this! This was a completely unorthodox move.
And this power was too terrifying, wasn’t it? Like those famous portal websites which were on their own servers and not hosted by other companies. Those companies were powerful and certainly no weaker than them, but what was the elapsed time?
It must have been less than half an hour since those websites published the clarification notice and then got taken down. That person took down those websites all by himself. This power…
However, these portal websites were quick to react, instantly rebooting all the servers. Similarly, Immortal Science also had to reboot all their servers, as all the companies they hosted had called them up! And the boss of Immortal Science yelled at him for a full three minutes on the phone!
The phrase “the fig leaf is a little big, covering so many people at once,” quickly went viral online. No surprise, considering how significant this event was! If the university forum only targeted the students of the university, the traffic on those portal websites came from netizens all across the country!
This matter quickly became well-known across the country, with other websites that didn’t catch the first wave promptly reprinting this second wave of the event. The news spread like wildfire across the country. The subsequent events that worried various website operators didn’t happen, because ZERO informed Finn Lewis that his usage permission was over for now.
But they did not dare to speak for the protagonist in the video anymore. To these Internet companies, it was better to offend government officials than a top hacker. And judging by the ability shown, the guy could easily make mincemeat out of a website like theirs!
For example, for websites like NetEase, a website was not their main business, but gaming was. Pissing off a professional of this caliber and having them target your gaming servers – can you imagine the losses for a single day? Continuous attacks for a month and they would be either completely crippled or severely compromised.
Robert Thomp had already completely collapsed. Given the magnitude of the situation, which had set the entire city abuzz, Robert Green had already ordered Robert Thomp to be under house arrest..
