Chapter 45：Hacked (1/2)

”Okay, wait a minute, Sir Ethan,” said Agung who put his cellphone on the table, pressed the speaker button so he could hear Ethan's voice, and dialed the number through the intercom.

”Hello, Sir Agung, what's wrong?” someone asked when Agung's call had been answered.

”Hello sir, I want to ask something...” Before Agung could finish his sentence, suddenly the person cut him off.

”Sorry sir, can you just say it to the point? Right now our team is in an emergency,” said the person.

”Did Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang have any instructions regarding NamTech's name appearing on a trending topic on social media?” Agung immediately said the question to the point.

”You stupid! I don't want to hear an excuse! You must be able to find the traces!” Agung could hear that the person who answered the phone was angry.

”Ah, sorry sir, what did you ask earlier? Ah, Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang's instructions, right? Nothing really, they didn't instruct anything,” replied the person who was talking to Agung again.

”You can't go home if you haven't found it!” continued the person again who could still be heard by Agung

”Oh I see,” said Agung.

”What is wrong? Looks like something serious is going on,” Ethan who could hear their conversation because Agung turned on the speaker on his intercom as well

”Ah you…” the person was a little surprised when he heard a voice he had never heard before.

”I'm Ethan, the interim CEO of NamTech,” replied Ethan, introducing himself.

”So, what happened?” continued Ethan again.

”Ah, that…,” the person sounded a little hesitant when he wanted to say it. If only Agung himself heard it, it wouldn't matter. He could beg Agung not to tell the boss.

But it turns out the boss has heard their words.

”I'm dead! Am I going to be fired? Ah, there is still a lot of house and car installments, not to mention my 3 children who are still in school. Wait a minute, this is not purely our fault, but the IT Security department's fault” thought the person who is the manager of a special team to find out the secrets of companies that want to work with NamTech.

The current problem that occurred was not due to their negligence.

”Just say it!” said Ethan again, making the man a little scared.

”Looks like… NamTech servers were hacked,” said the person. He then explained that the cybersecurity manager suddenly contacted him asking for help in tracing the tracks of another unknown user who had suddenly entered their server. Their servers are being hacked!

While people from cybersecurity are trying to find know what data was stolen and improve their security, but because they are short of people, they ask a special team to help them.

”What?! We got hacked again?! You know this is a dire situation, right?!” suddenly Agung raised his voice. They were also hacked in the past, but thankfully no data was leaked or stolen by that person, it looks like that person just wanted to test his ability to hack NamTech.

Since that incident, security at NamTech has been further enhanced. They even hire new people with more skills who of course are paid more so that their systems are not hacked again.

The image of a company whose system is hacked or even whose data is leaked will of course be bad in the eyes of people, because the data contains their valuable personal information.

But now, NamTech has hacked again. This is even more serious than the name of the company and their CEO which is a trending topic on social media!

”Agung, calm down!” scolds Ethan because Agung suddenly became panicked. Even though he didn't really understand, but Ethan could tell little by little that this was a serious problem.

”So? What has the person who hacked NamTech stolen?” asked Ethan, trying to be calm and show his authority.

”That's... The latest information, the hacker only deleted the news on our website and social media about Sir Ethan who came to NamTech, the rest, the cybersecurity team is still looking for it,” said the person.

”Has your team still not managed to track down the person?” asked Ethan again.

”Ah ... yes,” said the person in a low voice. ”But we're currently working hard to track that person down, so sir Ethan can calm down. We will definitely find the person who hacked NamTech!” continued the man. He vows to work overtime with his men until he discovers the identity of the person who hacked NamTech!

If they can't afford it, what will their new CEO think? They might all lose their jobs later!
