Chapter 1114: Disk

John. Reid arrived in San Jose on the earliest flight. The first time he saw Tan Zhenhua, he beat his head and asked, "Eric, how did you do it?"
"Don't worry, John, let me introduce to you. This is S. McGregor, the deputy dean of the Computer Algorithm Research Institute of our "Matrix" Lab. You can call him Mike, and he is also from the "iDoor" company. CEO, that trick yesterday is his masterpiece."
"Mike, I know you." John. Reid shook hands with McGregor and said, "I want to know what your "Matrix" did? Why can you easily hack into our network and host?"
"Mr. John, all I can say is that Citibank is not paying enough attention to network security. There are too many loopholes and backdoors in your system. A master who is proficient in network and computer systems can easily invade your system. Do whatever he wants." McGregor said solemnly.
In front of outsiders, Mr. Mike, a two-material otaku can still fully demonstrate the role of CEO.
"Including stealing our assets?"
"I'm afraid it's not limited to this." Tan Zhenhua answered: "Mr. Reid, you came just right today. In fact, the account I wanted to monitor that I called you yesterday is related to this."
John. Reid spread out his hands and made a serious expression of listening.
"Yesterday, an unpleasant thing happened in our "Matrix" laboratory." Tan Zhenhua began to briefly introduce the process: "A computer hacker invaded our server host and downloaded some information, although Mr. Mike was in time. He was discovered and blocked, but some information was still stolen. This hacker tried to use the information to make a transaction with us, and the account number he provided happened to belong to your Citibank, which made us realize an important The problem-this hacker must have a way to transfer the money away from your Citibank without worrying about being tracked, so we thought of doing a test on Citibank’s system."
John. Reid nodded, expressing that he accepted Tan Zhenhua's euphemistic apology and hints, and recognized that yesterday's mischievous bet was a test performed by the "Matrix" laboratory after the problem was discovered, and he signaled Tan Zhenhua to continue.
"We understand that Citibank has always been pursuing the most convenient and high-quality services for customers. Therefore, last year, in 1985, you took the lead in launching the DirectAccess® "direct connection" service in Quanmi, allowing users to connect to Citibank through personal computers. And self-service business, I have to say, this is an important financial innovation, but it also brings a risk to your bank that goes beyond other banks that still use the traditional model-you opened your bank’s computer to customers The system interface also exposes your network to the public network, and this means a huge opportunity for some highly skilled computer experts. You see, our Mr. Mike easily bypassed you yesterday. The firewall entered your system and took away what you wanted, and you couldn’t stop or even intercept the path information he used to operate all of this.

Recalling the embarrassed expression of the company’s IT director who checked the entire system and reported nothing to him after the incident happened yesterday, John. Reid's face became more and more gloomy, but he did not intend to express his own opinion for the time being, but intended to listen to Tan Zhenhua's continued.
"After discovering a problem with the Citibank system, we speculated that the hacker asked to remit the money to Citibank for this reason. He must be able to transfer the money in a similar way. Going to a safe place without leaving any traceable information is very passive for Citi. And I must remind you, Mr. Reid, that if the hacker can do this, he must You can do more, such as tampering with user information stored in Citi’s servers. What impact will that have? I don’t think I need to say more?"
"Wall Street, oh, I am afraid that the entire country of the United States will be affected by this earthquake." John Reed could not help but turn pale when he thought of the terrible consequences.
For the bank, user information is probably its core data, let alone being tampered with, even if it is only leaked, it is an unbearable loss.
"I guess the hacker already has Citibank's core data in his hands, but he hasn't figured out how to use them. Well, maybe he is still too young to use them. Of course, maybe he just doesn't want to use them. Now I will expose the fact that I have these data. If I change it to me, I might ask you a large sum of money to redeem them, Mr. Reid."
"Stop talking, Eric, God, fortunately you won't do those terrible things."
"That's not necessarily." Tan Zhenhua shrugged and said, "Maybe it's just because Mr. Mike and I don't lack money now... Okay, Mr. Reed, no kidding, I think it's for you and me to let this hacker continue to get away with it. These are very unfavorable things, so I ask you to help me monitor this account. We have to find a way to catch him."
"So, Eric, do you already know who this hacker is?"
"We have clues, but we are not entirely certain that this person, Mr. Reed, I have some information here, you can look at it first." Tan Zhenhua said while compiling some of the information collected from Kevin Mitnick. The summary was handed to John. Reid, of course, this thing has been processed, some sensitive parts have been deleted, so that it looks like a piece of information gathered from public information, and has nothing to do with the FBI.
John. Reid flipped through the information in his hand blankly, closed, closed his eyes slightly, and opened it again after thinking for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Eric, I promise your request, but this matter must be kept secret. Except for the people in this house, I don’t want anyone to know about it, now or in the future."
"Of course, Mr. Reed, you value the reputation of Citibank, and I have to maintain the "Matrix". After all, being successfully hacked by a hacker is not honorable for our "Matrix"-well, Mr. Reed , It seems we can move on to the next step, right?"
"What do you need me to do?"
It was McGregor who answered him.
He took out a standard 3.5-inch disk from his pocket and handed it to him,
It’s very simple, Mr. Reed, your computer should be connected to the central server on a network, right? I have a disk here, After you go back, just run it on your computer terminal, and leave the rest to us."
