Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 352 This is a kind-hearted wooden horse
"What nonsense are you spouting?" the equipment guarantor roared. "Who stole your account?"

"Still trying to play dumb with me?" The young man punched the equipment guarantor.

The equipment guarantor stumbled from the punch, and the internet cafe owner nearby jumped up and yelled, "What are you doing? Do you want a beating?"

"Yeah, I deserve a beating, come and hit me!" The young man stomped on the internet cafe owner with a smug look on his face, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "I play games every day, and I finally got a whole box of equipment, and this bastard stole it all from me!"

The young man pointed at the internet cafe owner, having lost his temper, and cursed angrily: "Go ahead and kill me if you dare. If you leave me alive, I'll burn down your damn internet cafe tonight. You fucking try it if you don't believe me."

The internet cafe owner fell silent as he watched the young man acting like a madman.

He realized that the guy had gone mad.

A while ago, a young man got his equipment destroyed by people at an internet cafe in a neighboring county. Enraged, he stabbed several people, causing quite a stir.

It's best to avoid messing with these game-addicted young men.

How can porcelain be allowed to collide with earthenware pots?

These young men are the type who only care about themselves and have no family to worry about. They tend to have extreme views, dislike communicating with others, and are immersed in the world of games every day.

It's fair to say that gaming is their whole life.

The internet cafe owner coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness and said, "Well, maybe you've misunderstood. Don't fight, calm down and let's talk."

"Calm down, you son of a bitch! This has nothing to do with you!" the guy yelled.

"Hey, this young man." The internet cafe owner, too lazy to bother with him, sat down and continued playing his game.

The young man, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed the equipment guarantor by the collar and roared, "I'm giving you ten minutes to return my equipment to me right now! Otherwise, I'll send you to your grave."

The internet cafe owner's lips twitched, and he shouted, "Hey bro, if you have a fight, go outside and settle it. Don't die in my internet cafe."

Seeing the guy go crazy, the equipment guarantor finally got scared. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Brother, I really didn't steal your account. I'm an employee of Shengda. I have no reason to steal your account, right?"

"Still pretending! Still pretending!" The young man punched the equipment guarantor twice more.

The equipment guarantor burst into tears of grievance.

He's really in a mess, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.

The internet cafe owner sighed and shouted, "Hey you, why don't you just call your Shengda company and check his account?"

No sooner had the internet cafe owner finished speaking than several more people rushed into the internet cafe.

As soon as these men saw the equipment guarantor, they rushed over.

Someone grabbed the equipment guarantor by the collar, intending to throw a couple of punches, but found there was nowhere to strike.

The equipment guarantor had bruises around his eyes and swollen cheeks; he looked miserable enough.

The man could only shove the equipment guarantor and angrily said, "Did you steal our account? All my equipment has been wiped out."

The equipment guarantor was completely dumbfounded.

If only one person's account is hacked, that can be explained. But if two people's accounts are hacked, and both of them are players who just traded equipment, then something is not right.

The equipment guarantor said in a trembling voice, "I absolutely did not steal your account. I will contact the company headquarters right now. Don't worry, Legend game is our game. Even if your account was really stolen, we can find a way to get it back for you."

The angry young man finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Then you'd better call quickly. If you don't get it back for me, I'll smash the internet cafe owner's car first."

"???" The internet cafe owner couldn't hold back any longer and cursed, "Damn it, what does this have to do with me?!"

The equipment guarantor quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the headquarters.

Busy!

He dialed again, but the line was still busy!

The equipment guarantor called four or five times in a row, saying, "Wait a minute, the headquarters line is always busy."

It is indeed busy.

The phone at Shengda's customer service department is now ringing off the hook, like boiling water.

Before one call was even finished, another phone rang.

Nearly 200 telephone customer service representatives were working around the clock.

They listened intently for over twenty minutes and eventually came to a conclusion about their similarities.

A large number of players' accounts were hacked.

These players whose accounts were hacked all have one thing in common: they are accounts used for buying and selling equipment.

Whether they are buying or selling equipment, once the transaction is completed, their accounts will be wiped out within two hours.

Based on current records, at least a thousand account theft incidents have occurred.

The legendary forum has also become a complete mess.

Is this a guarantor platform or a hacking platform?

[Any account you buy or sell equipment with will be stolen; these are unscrupulous guarantors.]

The guarantor's behavior was extremely disgraceful.

Everyone, please be very careful! Don't go to the equipment guarantor; they're double-dipping...

The legendary forum was filled with posts about account theft, and some busybodies took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.

"How could this happen?" In the office of the vice president of Shengda Group, Luo Shengyi also looked distressed.

This is too strange. Why would the accounts of both sellers and buyers be stolen as soon as equipment is traded?
If it were true that equipment guarantors were stealing from their posts, it would be impossible for so many equipment guarantors to do such a thing, right?

Even if they have planned to do something big together, there will always be people who will betray them and seek personal gain. In this world, no organization has ever been able to guarantee 100% loyalty from its members.

Luo Shengyi was completely baffled, so he could only send his secretary to invite Qi Yonghuai, the director of the technology department of Shengda Group, over.

Qi Yonghuai was once the vice chairman of the Red Hacker Alliance and led the intrusion into the Pentagon. He is well-known in the industry and is also the chief security officer of Shengda Data Center.

Qi Yonghuai walked into Luo Shengyi's office and said, "President Luo, you wanted to see me?"

Luo Shengyi quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Yes, we're facing a big problem right now, and we can only ask you, a big shot, to come out of retirement."

"Go on," Qi Yonghuai said, still holding Luo Shengyi, a veteran of Shengda, in high esteem.

Luo Shengyi immediately recounted the account theft incident that had occurred that day to Qi Yonghuai.

After listening to Luo Shengyi's description, Qi Yonghuai said with certainty, "Someone installed a Trojan horse on the computer responsible for equipment guarantees."

"A Trojan horse was installed?" Luo Shengyi said in disbelief, "That's impossible, isn't it? Our equipment guarantee computers are all operated by equipment guarantee personnel."

Qi Yonghuai said, "Is it possible that they logged into some website and triggered a Trojan horse?" Luo Shenyi shook his head and said, "Even if they logged into some website, it's impossible for internet cafes all over the country to have the same problem, right? Did they log into a website on their own?"

Qi Yonghuai said, "In the world of programming, anything is possible. I have to see for myself to know."

Luo Shengyi said, "There's an account theft incident at an internet cafe in Zhonghai City. I'll take you there now."

"Hmm." Qi Yonghuai nodded slowly.

He was also very curious about what methods the hackers used to infect escrow computers across the country with Trojans at the same time.

As a seasoned hacker, Qi Yonghuai considered several possibilities, but none of them could achieve the desired effect when put into practice.

It's as if the Trojan was triggered simultaneously on computers in various districts and counties across the country. Moreover, this Trojan only targets this particular computer and did not spread to other computers in the internet cafe via the local area network.

This account theft incident, with such a clear target, was obviously deliberately aimed at game equipment trading websites.

Luo Shengyi didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly led Qi Yonghuai to the parking lot, and while starting the car, he called the operations and maintenance department, saying, "Have you come up with a solution for the account theft incident?"

“Mr. Luo, there are too many. I’m worried that restoring them one by one will cause database errors.” The head of the operations and maintenance department said immediately, “Restoring ten or twenty would be fine, but there are over a thousand now.”

Luo Shengyi said in a deep voice, "I just want a solution! Don't talk to me about the difficulties!"

The head of the operations and maintenance department quickly said, "Our solution is to roll back the data. As long as we roll back to the moment before the first account was stolen, we can completely solve this problem."

"Are you kidding me?" Luo Shengyi was amused by the words of the head of the operations and maintenance department.

How dare you say it.

Rewind to the moment before the first account was hacked?
Doesn't that mean it will take six or seven hours to revert to the previous state?
If the rollback were to occur six or seven hours later, wouldn't players across the country be in an uproar?

The head of the operations and maintenance department said with a wry smile, "This is the best solution we can come up with. Of course, we can restore them one by one, but the database can really have problems. Once it has problems, we can only delete the files and start over."

The phrase "delete the file and start over" startled Luo Shengyi.

He'd rather revert to a six-hour save than delete and start over.

If something as egregious as deleting and restarting a game were to happen, even if it only occurred in one server, it would cause earthquake-like damage to the entire Legend game.

Luo Shenyi said in a deep voice, "Then let's revert to the previous save file."

The head of the operations and maintenance department added, "If we roll back the data, all the equipment that has already been traded and guaranteed today will be cancelled, and the money will be returned to the buyers."

Luo Shengyi replied, "Yes, I will arrange it."

Upon hearing Luo Shengyi's words, Qi Yonghuai, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "We can't rewind now."

"Why?" Luo Shengyi looked at Qi Yonghuai.

Qi Yonghuai said calmly, "Now that you've rolled back, what if another account theft occurs?"

Luo Shengyi laughed and said, "Since you went there in person, you must be able to find out the reason, right?"

Qi Yonghuai shook his head and said, "There's always someone better, and I wouldn't dare say I can find the problem."

Luo Shengyi was slightly surprised and said, "There are security problems you can't solve?"

Qi Yonghuai said, "Of course there are, such as Hongye, who is currently very popular in the hacker circle."

"Red Leaf..." Upon hearing this name, Luo Shengyi's heart tightened suddenly.

This guy, Hongye, is indeed infamous. He actually used them, these internet companies, as practice subjects. What's most infuriating is that he also likes to play the hero and does the kind of things that internet companies hate. This makes many internet companies both angry and happy.

What's infuriating is that if they are even slightly rude to users, Hongye will definitely step in to teach them a lesson.

The good news is that their opponents are being tormented even more severely by the red leaves.

This guy is basically using them as training material, completely disregarding whether they can handle it or not.

Luo Shengyi said, "The person who installed this Trojan horse shouldn't be Hongye, right? Hongye's methods are very upright; when he attacks a website, he will even issue a challenge."

Qi Yonghuai said, "I'm just giving an example. The internet is global, and there are countless skilled hackers worldwide."

At this moment, the head of the operations and maintenance department on the other end of the phone asked in a low voice, "Mr. Luo, should we still roll back the data?"

Luo Shengyi said, "Wait a minute, I'll let you know in a bit."

Luo Shengyi hung up the phone and asked while driving, "Director Qi, could you help us find out the cause?"

"Okay." Qi Yonghuai nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

Before long, they arrived at an internet cafe in the eastern part of Zhonghai City.

Upon seeing Luo Shengyi walk in, the internet cafe owner immediately greeted him with a broad smile, saying, "Oh, Mr. Luo."

Luo Shengyi nodded slightly to the internet cafe owner, which was his way of greeting him.

He is now the vice president of Shengda Group and is respected wherever he goes.

Thinking back, when he was doing sales, not only did nobody pay him any attention, he was even beaten up by an internet cafe owner named Zhou Rongjun.

It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years. I wonder if Zhou Rongjun would still dare to be as arrogant as before if he saw him now.

Luo Shengyi indulged in a brief moment of fantasy before walking over to the equipment guarantor.

Although the equipment guarantor wasn't beaten up, he wasn't in a good mood. He looked like a wilted eggplant, completely lacking energy, clearly having received some friendly greetings from some players.

Luo Shengyi said to Qi Yonghuai, "Director Qi, it's this computer."

Qi Yonghuai sat down at the computer and immediately began searching for it.

He carefully examined key locations such as the registry and quickly found the malicious Trojan program.

He frowned and said, "Strange, who wrote this Trojan? How could it directly infect system files without affecting the computer?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Shengyi didn't understand.

Qi Yonghuai said, "Generally speaking, Trojan programs copy themselves on the computer and affect the computer's running speed, but this Trojan is different. It has been lurking in a very deep place and can also help clean up some malicious plugins."

Qi Yonghuai opened Internet Explorer and randomly opened a junk website.

Surprisingly, all the pop-up ads from those spam websites disappeared.

"That's amazing?" Luo Shengyi exclaimed in surprise, "It can even block pop-ups?"

Qi Yonghuai stared at the Trojan program, then laughed in exasperation, saying, "I know who wrote this Trojan."

"Who?" Luo Shengyi asked.

Qi Yonghuai slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "Zhou Hongyi, the boss of 3721! It must be that bastard, damn it, that bastard is good at writing this kind of crap!"
