The Blacklist

Chapter 283: Reverse Trojan
"It's no big deal!" Kerry waved his hand and said, "The Thrush Party sent this Mikael Lord to approach you deliberately. It must have been premeditated. You just didn't investigate it at the moment! Now that he has been arrested, the initiative is on our side. You will attend the case meeting later to discuss how to fight back."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, boss!" Iris said gratefully.

In the interrogation room, after knowing that his identity was exposed, Michael Lord gave up resistance and admitted that he was an undercover sent by the Thrushcross Party, whose purpose was to get close to the important SLR agent Iris and wait for an opportunity to get information from the SLR. However, he was only a peripheral member of the Thrushcross Party and could not say much more.

In the interrogation room, Gina frowned, not believing what Mikael said. Just as she was about to continue questioning him, she saw the evidence bag on the table vibrate. Inside was Mikael's cell phone. She picked it up and saw that the caller ID was hidden!

She thought for a moment and said, "Answer the phone and tell them everything is fine." Then she asked the guard to put the phone to Mikael's ear.

On the phone: "How's it going?"

Mikael tried to remain calm and said, "It's going well. Iris already trusts me. I'm looking for an opportunity to access her computer."

On the phone: "Hurry up, the boss is waiting anxiously."

Mikael said: "Understood, I will hurry up."

The content of the call was simple, but the message was not.

After hanging up the phone, Gina looked at the other party coldly and asked, "Why do you want to touch Iris's computer?"

Mikael could no longer hide it this time, and could only say: "I have a Trojan program in my hand. If it can be transferred to Iris's laptop, then when she goes to work at SLR and uses the internal network, the Trojan can be transferred in. Then our hackers outside can remotely monitor her..."

"Where is the Trojan program?" Gina asked.

"I have an invalid bank card in my wallet..." said Mikael.

In the observation room, Iris was so angry that her face turned blue. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to go in and beat up Mikael, but she knew it was not a good thing for her to intervene in the matter now, so she could only endure it.

Seeing this, Kerry said, "Let's go and discuss how to deal with this thrush gang!"
-
In the command hall, agents from SLR and SER gathered together. After Gina introduced the interrogation situation, technical director Abby went on to introduce the investigation of the "Thrush Gang".

"The Thrush Gang is an extremely powerful hacker organization that specializes in taking on high-paying and challenging intrusion 'businesses'..." Abby said, "The hackers in the Thrush Gang are very strong and are good at using technical means to invade the network without leaving any traces. As long as the reward is high enough, they will ignore any laws and dare to take any business!
"Now there is evidence that the most recent case in which the Thrush Gang was involved was last year, when a motor controlled by the system suddenly overloaded and exploded at a nuclear power plant in India, killing dozens of people and exposing thousands to nuclear radiation...but the investigation into the incident was characterized as an accident!"

At this point, Abby projected the investigation materials of the Indian nuclear power plant explosion onto the big screen and continued, "I have checked the victims one by one in this case. Guess what I found?"

Jiwa was sharp-eyed and immediately pointed at a photo on the screen and said, "Isn't that Mikael?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked over and sure enough, in the information of the victims, there was a person who was none other than Michael Lord who was currently locked up in the interrogation room, but the name on it was Braun Det!

Gina said angrily: "This guy said he was an outside member, that's nonsense! No, I'll go and interrogate him again..." Iris also asked them to go together, she was ready to take revenge herself.

"Wait a minute." Kerry stopped them, "Don't waste your energy. If he admits to participating in the attack on the Indian nuclear power plant last year, he will die. Of course, he won't say it.

“We now know this Mikael… let’s call him that for now. Since he is an important member of the Thrushcross Gang and was sent out to carry out an undercover mission, it means that this mission is extremely important!

"Think about it, why did the Thrush Gang go to such great lengths to hack into the SLR's internal network?"

Everyone started thinking, and Gina and Iris also calmed down and thought together.

Jeffrey spoke first: "Boss, I think Kirk is behind this, and the target is still Elizabeth."

Everyone understood what he meant. Kirk must not have given up after escaping from the hospital. His condition was serious and he believed that only Elizabeth could save him, so he wanted to obtain his whereabouts from the post office's internal network. This was a reasonable inference.

"And Reddington," Elizabeth said at this time, "Whether it's Kirk or an organization like the Secret Society, they all have reasons to deal with Reddington, and now they should all know that Reddington is cooperating with us."

"Yes!" Nawabi and others nodded in agreement.

Donald said unhappily, "This Thrush Gang actually dared to attack us, how audacious! Lee, think of a way to deal with this hacker organization!"

Yes! Of course, Carrie nodded. This was the right thing to do. Since the Thrush Party was looking for death, they should be sent on their way! —
Under Carrie's instructions, Abby from SLR and Alam from SER teamed up to crack the Trojan program on Mikael's bank card, added a reverse tracking function, and then input it into a separate physical server, completing the first step of the counterattack plan.

Next, what they have to do is to make the Thrush Party think that the plan is successful and they can enter the internal network of SLR and even the post office, so that they can get some irrelevant information... This is the second step.

The third step is to use Trojan programs to spread false information and track the whereabouts of the Thrush Gang.

In this link, a valuable bait is needed to lure the Thrush Gang, Kirk or other organizations into the trap, so Carrie found Reddington.

This guy Reddington knows a lot. After knowing this plan, he immediately thought of a suitable blacklist person - Rene LeBlanc.

After receiving the information prepared by Reddington, Carrie asked Gina to introduce the situation to everyone: "Rene LeBlanc is a special lender in the underground world. His main operation is to provide mortgage loans to businessmen sanctioned by the US government. The collateral is the businessmen's assets frozen in the United States. Then, various methods are used to unfreeze or liquidate these assets to obtain huge profits!
"Kirk is a sanctioned person, and his assets in the United States have been frozen. Reddington is sure that Kirk is also connected to this Rene. As long as Rene is arrested, a large number of criminals will be exposed!"
