Chapter 429: Display of Officer Fan's Awesome Prowess!

Afternoon.

Past 2PM.

It was a time when people easily doze off. After having their fill and working for half a day, the colleagues at the Internet Surveillance Bureau were yawning. Then, they forcefully carried on working. Some made a cup of coffee or tea, while others slacked off and browse the internet to chat to refresh themselves.

”So tired.”

”Me too. I slept very late last night.”

”Sigh, to work overtime over the new year. I wonder which year I’ll be able to take a break.”

”Look at all the other public servants, they are all enjoying themselves.”

Some of them grumbled, but did whatever work had to be done.

Only Fan Yingyun was an exception. She too appeared tired. After a few yawns, she slowly clicked on the mouse a few times, seemingly closing her game. She then lifted her b.u.t.t and walked to a sofa in the corner of the office. She sat down, leaned to a side, and with that prepared for an afternoon nap. She ignored the odd gazes from her colleagues and even got a little blanket to cover her legs from the side. She then began to sleep soundly. From how prepared she did it, the blanket must have been prepared beforehand. This was definitely not the first time. She was clearly a maverick.

Fang Xiaoshui seethed.

Meng Yi also looked unhappily at Fan Yingyun.

”As always, Officer Fan is so free.” Meng Yi said in a sour tone.

”We cannot compare to her.” Fang Xiaoshui also envied Fan Yingyun. To be able to play games and sleep whenever she wanted. What sort of good life was she leading?

A youth said, ”The leader has favorites, so what can you do?”

”Keep it down. If you let her hear it, an argument will definitely happen again. Counting each and everyone of us in this office, together with those who didn't work overtime, who can beat her in a verbal match?” The old cyber-policeman said.

”I keep thinking that Officer Fan didn’t teach internet technology cla.s.ses in university in the past. Don't you see how she doesn't know a thing? I think she taught language cla.s.ses. That mouth of hers probably can be matched only by Teacher Zhang Ye. Ah, cough, cough. Teacher Zhang, I didn't mean anything by that. I wasn't talking bad about you.” Fang Xiaoshui said without thinking as she rattled on. Upon realizing that Zhang Ye was beside her, she hurriedly apologized.

Zhang Ye shook his hand with a smile, indicating that it was fine.

Suddenly, Meng Yi let out a cry. ”Central TV's official website has been hacked?”

”Ah? That can't be?” Fang Xiaoshui hurried over to the computer and hit a few keystrokes rapidly.

A few cyber-policemen beside them also began working diligently. ”In the corporate cooperation last month, didn't the fourth department secure seven loopholes in Central TV and other official websites? They even oversaw the change of new servers. There shouldn't be any problems. Typical hackers shouldn't be able to enter it!”

Fang Xiaoshui was momentarily stunned. ”It really has been hacked!”

At this moment, Central TV's official website could not be opened anymore. The moment they entered, there was a picture. There were many Chinese words pasted on it, but they were not fluent. One could tell at a glance that they were machine translated!

Pig!

Go to h.e.l.l!

Hahaha!

The screen were full of these!

Everyone's faces changed. ”Hackers!”

Fang Xiaoshui was in charge of internet security. ”How do we handle this?”

The old policeman said, ”This isn't the responsibility of our department. Let's watch and see first?”

Their department was in charge of serious crimes. This sort of internet surveillance was the responsibility of other departments, so without the leader's instructions, they could not handle it.

Zhang Ye also noticed it. He immediately opened Central TV's website and his face sunk. Without question, those that would target Central TV's website at this time had to be Korean. The news regarding Lee Anson had probably caused quite a stir in Korea, and now, from the looks of it, even hackers had made their move?

This was clearly revenge!

This revenge was targeted at China!

Fan Yingyun was still sleeping. Even while asleep, she appeared like she was in a terrible mood, so no one dared to wake her up, nor did anyone do so. This person couldn't even produce a table of values, so how could they expect her to do anything?

”Has it been restored?”

”Not yet.”

”How long has it been? Has Central TV not responded?”

”That's right. What happened to the technicians? Did they all go home for the new year?”

”It was a warning from the information department. The fourth department definitely knows about it. Why hasn't anything happening yet? Have we regained root access and restored the websites?”

The door opened!

Dong Zhiqiang pushed through the door forcefully. ”Everyone stop whatever you’re doing. Prepare to work since something has just happened!” He looked extremely tensed!

Fang Xiaoshui, ”About Central TV's website?”

Dong Zhiqiang hurriedly said, ”Yes, prepare the division of labor and prepare to go to battle!”

Meng Yi wondered out aloud, ”Isn't that under the jurisdiction of the state-owned website's security of the fourth department? Why are we being a.s.signed this task?”

Dong Zhiqiang took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth. ”In the past five minutes, Central TV, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Energy, the Education Bureau, and Civil Affairs, and even our Ministry of Public Security have all been hacked! The information department is now in a mess. There's no time to even send out warnings, and they are all in chaos! Everyone in the fourth department has been wiped out! All of their personal computers have been invaded by trojan horses! It was not planted ahead of time, but when they were vying for root access with them, their IPs were exposed. As such, all the machines in the fourth department are down! Thankfully, a few offices here have independent internet access, or we too would have been taken down!”

”What?”

”Our website has been hacked too?”

”That can't be! Who has that much skill?”

Everyone checked in disbelief, and indeed, even their Public Security website was filled with abusive curses. The other party was too insolent!

Dong Zhiqiang exclaimed, ”What are you lazing around for!? Begin working! The hackers we are facing this time is a team! And their skill is very high! It's different from the past! Make sure you are alert! The leaders above us are already raging! Whatever it takes, we must regain control of the major and sensitive websites!”

”Yes!”

”Yes!”

”Understood!”

Everyone in the First Department began working!

Dong Zhiqiang also noticed the sleeping Fan Yingyun, but ignored her. He then began to take command. Fang Xiaoshui was an expert in terms of security, so Dong Zhiqiang stood behind her. ”Are you confident?”

Fang Xiaoshui said, ”Just a bunch of dogs and cats.”

Dong Zhiqiang patted her shoulder. ”Alright, as long as you are confident.” He also felt confident. His subordinates were elites in internet surveillance.

Fang Xiaoshui began her attack and rapidly tapped on her keyboard. She charged straight into the Public Security's official informative website. ”There are two bugs.” After looking at the event logs and the present situation, Fang Xiaoshui had an idea. She had already begun facing off the enemy!

A girl, who was in charge of policing the internet, came forward to learn from her. Her domain expertise was in other aspects of network security, and not invasion and defense, so she couldn't help.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye also stood beside Dong Zhiqiang and watched Fang Xiaoshui's screen.

Keying in commands?

Were they trying to wrestle for control?

Retrieve the administrator's pa.s.sword?

In the past, Zhang Ye would clearly not understand any of this, but now, after he ate 11 Network Technology Experience Book, he could tell at a glance what Fang Xiaoshui was doing. He could also subconsciously understand Fang Xiaoshui's intentions. The reason was simple. Previously, Zhang Ye had drawn 200 books of Computer Programming Skills Experience Book. He did not know how high his standard was, as he had not had any hands-on practice, but based on feelings, he believed that his skills were much higher than Fang Xiaoshui’s. As for how much so, he had no idea.

No good!

The other side was very formidable!

Oh, there was no chance of winning a fight two against one!

The next moment, Fang Xiaoshui shouted with a tightened expression, ”Zhang Er! Help me!”

A junior cyber-policeman was stunned as he quickly disconnected from this targeted website and went over to help. He said nervously, ”Sister Fang, is the other party that formidable?”

Fang Xiaoshui said with a black face, ”They are all experts! Both of them! It's a trap! They are deliberately luring us over! The two of them set an ambush for us!”

Meng Yi shouted from his side, ”I just took down a website and am restoring it!” But just as he spoke, he said in shock, ”Oh no! I lost admin rights again!”

Another cyber-policeman shouted, ”F**k! What sort of people are they!? They are so ruthless! My computer has BSOD-ed*! It won’t even move” He hurriedly switched to a computer beside him and turned it on.

Dong Zhiqiang's face was turning ugly!

Their First Department had been exchanging fire for about twenty minutes, but they only managed to regain control of three websites. They did not manage to trace the hackers. Whenever the other party saw the situation turn bad, they would escape, leaving no traces behind. As for the other seven websites that were under their control, they were surprised that they could not wrestle them back. They were clearly elites in the Internet Surveillance Bureau, and this was their homeground, yet they were only handed poor results!

Complete defeat!

It was undoubtedly a terrible defeat!

Dong Zhiqiang burst into a fit of rage, ”What are you doing!? You can't even settle this?”

Fang Xiaoshui said with a grievance, ”Director Dong, they have too many people on their side. For us, we have to face two or three per person, and at times five. Sometimes, we can win back admin rights, but they will occasionally wheel around and hit back. Furthermore, they are very skilled!”

Meng Yi also explained, ”They have dozens on their side! The battle lines are constantly changing. Attacking is simpler than defense. If they change the battleground, we aren’t able to react in time. We can only chase after their tails. We have too few people too, so we definitely are on the pa.s.sive side. This bunch of people have many experts too!”

Dong Zhiqiang shouted, ”Don't give me excuses. The higher-ups do not want to hear this! What I want are results!” Saying that, he began making phone calls. He summoned everyone from the First Department back, halting all their holidays!

At this moment, Zhang Ye spoke, ”Everyone, why don't I...”

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Yingyun woke up from the sofa. ”What's the matter, why is it so noisy?” After a yawn, she loosened her neck and sat up from the sofa.

Fang Xiaoshui said grudgingly, ”You sure slept soundly! More than ten official state-owned websites are now controlled by a bunch of Korean IPs! So many people are working hard for so long, yet we haven't been able to wrestle control back! Forget it, it's useless telling you so much. You can't even prepare a job report!”

The others ignored Fan Yingyun.

They could only wait for the rest of their colleagues from the First Department, or gather the remaining technical colleagues from other departments in the Internet Surveillance Bureau, so as to attempt at chasing the hackers away.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yingyun surprisingly did not scold Fang Xiaoshui. Instead, she briskly walked over to her computer and sat down. After a few glances at her screen, the side of her eyes twitched. Without a word, she opened her purse and took out a USB drive and inserted it into her computer. With a few clicks of her mouse, she seemed to open up some software or program. She then said, ”Don't mess things up for me. All accounts on the website, get away from me!”

Meng Yi said, ”We mess things up?”

A female cyber-policewoman said, ”You are the one who shouldn't be messing things up for us!”

”What are you doing?” Fang Xiaoshui said, ”If we were to disconnect, who will catch them? If they escape, then there will be other websites that will suffer!” With her being distracted, she could no longer defend her side. Fang Xiaoshui hurriedly went back to being engaged with three hackers.

Dong Zhiqiang also looked towards Fan Yingyun. ”You finally want to join in?” The moment he said those words, Old Dong found it humorous. Having joined his unit for a few months, they had never seen Officer Fan work once. She could not do a thing, nor did she know her thing. What was the situation now? This was a large scale IP attack from overseas never seen in years. You wouldn't be able to handle it. ”At this time, don't mess things for us!”

Fan Yingyun did not even look at them. As she operated the keyboard, she said, ”Let me repeat myself. All those IPs, who have entered the intruded websites, stay away from me! I won't care if you’re friendly or not!”

Then everyone was stunned, including Zhang Ye!

It was not because of Officer Fan's words, but because of her actions. The speed at which she typed on the keyboard was faster than anyone present! And it was not just a bit faster! They could see Fan Yingyun's hands 'flying' over the keyboard. As for what she was inputting, no one could tell!

Fang Xiaoshui said, ”This...”

Zhang Ye also narrowed his eyes.
