Chapter 62: Chapter 62: A Good Start

Forbidden Summit Internet Cafe.

Inside the small office.

Zhang Ren looked at the young man sitting opposite him, with black short hair and dressed in a white T-shirt and casual trousers, his face not bearing the typical marks of societal hardships.

Instead, he seemed somewhat immature.

“Lin,” Zhang Ren said gravely while setting down his teacup, “It’s not that I don’t trust your computer skills, but Jintang is a major network security company. Their technology and equipment are the finest in Anling City, and even the police are willing to collaborate with them.”

He wasn’t looking down on Lin Chuan or trying to discourage the youth.

Just recently.

His older brother, Zhang De, had reached out to him, mentioning that Zhang Xinxin and Lin Chuan had started a cybersecurity workshop and were hoping he could help them oversee it.

That’s why Zhang Ren had agreed to meet with Studio 720.

As for the abilities of Studio 720.

Zhang Ren chuckled to himself; the capabilities of an individual are limited and truly incomparable to a large network security company.

It was tough for independent cybersecurity workshops to compete against big companies.

Zhang Ren couldn’t put the cybersecurity protection of Forbidden Summit Esports Internet Cafe in the hands of Studio 720 without reservations.

However, he would consider them for minor, general computer maintenance.

After all, Xinxin was his own niece.

Lin Chuan nodded slightly, his fingers interlaced on the table, body leaning forward, “Director Zhang, Jintang indeed has strength, but before we met today, I performed a vulnerability check on the internet cafe’s firewall.”

Obviously.

Lin Chuan was thoroughly prepared for this first major client.

Workshops like Lin Chuan’s actually survive in the gaps between major network security companies.

But as large companies continue to expand, the survival space for small dealers and workshops is squeezed, a predicament Lin Chuan had foreseen from the start.

Embarking on a side venture for the first time, Lin Chuan still hoped to make a good start.

Zhang Ren gazed at Lin Chuan and smiled, “What do you think of this firewall, Lin?”

“The firewall is completely sufficient against ordinary technical attacks,” Lin Chuan smiled, but then he shifted gears, “However, recently, many companies and internet cafes have been facing large-scale network attacks by hackers from abroad. I think, this firewall is not enough for complete protection.”

“Not enough for complete protection?” Zhang Ren’s expression changed slightly as his brow furrowed.

Currently.

Anling’s internet cafes indeed faced the predicament of cyberattacks by hackers from abroad.

The servers of these internet cafes contained a massive amount of personal information.

Such as game accounts, bank card numbers, address details, phone numbers, communication records, and so on.

These were one of the sources of profit for hackers.

Of course, some shady internet cafes willingly sold personal information, which was terribly illicit.

Besides, some technically advanced hackers would infiltrate an internet cafe, using it as a pivot to carry out cyber invasions and attacks on other targets.

“Yes,”

Lin Chuan nodded gently, smiling, “If Director Zhang is interested, I can simulate a foreign hacker’s cyberattack, and within half an hour, take control of all the devices in this internet cafe.”

“Uncle, let me show you the capability of Studio 720,” said Zhang Xinxin, pursing her lips and nodding in agreement.

Zhang Ren looked at the two, skeptical but after pondering briefly, he said, “Then let’s give it a try.”

Lin Chuan, Zhang Xinxin, and Li Qing exchanged smiles.

Li Qing quickly pulled out a pink laptop from his black backpack, an ultrabook adorned with SpongeBob stickers.

The laptop was equipment provided for Studio 720 by Zhang Xinxin.

Lin Chuan took the laptop and opened it.

On the laptop.

Lin Chuan launched a program called ‘***’ and then typed in a series of IP addresses.

Zhang Ren’s brow furrowed slightly.

He wasn’t an expert, but he recognized the string of IP addresses; they were those of ‘Forbidden Summit Esports Internet Cafe’.
