Chapter 1356
"We tried to trace back, but the other side had designed a virus in the program. Once we track it down, the virus will invade our system again, and it may cause secondary data loss for the company. It could even lead to the collapse of the entire database," the manager answered truthfully while carefully observing Harper's expression.
When he saw the anger on Harper's face intensify, he quickly explained, "Mr. Quinn, it's not that we don't want to track it down; it's just that the person behind this attack is very skilled. I suspect that they're a top-ranked hacker in the industry. They're at least in the top fifty."
Hearing that, Harper was stunned. A top-ranked hacker who is ranked in the top fifty in the industry? Why is this person suddenly attacking my company? The cost of employing such a person is substantial. Who would spend that much money to target me?
Instantaneously, Timothy's face appeared in his mind. Could it be him?
He suspected it might be Timothy, but he couldn't be sure. After thinking momentarily, he ordered, "You guys go ahead and fix the company's internal systems. I don't want to see this happen again!"
The technical department head nodded and immediately left with his subordinates. After they left, Harper turned to his assistant and instructed, "Have someone investigate how much the company lost in this incident."
"Yes." The assistant nodded and left.
Later, he returned with someone from the finance department. "Mr. Quinn, the company's loss is 20 million," the finance department's representative reported truthfully.
Suddenly, Harper had an immediate thought. He looked at the assistant and ordered, "Investigate how much the Gulliver Group lost in their project in Hestonville."
Although the assistant felt it was strange, he agreed. Moments later, he returned with the information. "Mr. Quinn, the Gulliver Group lost 20 million." As he finished speaking, he realized that something was not right. The loss was exactly the same as what they had experienced today.
