Life at The Top novel Chapter 262

“What happened?” Jasper asked in a heavy tone, a frown forming on his face. He put down his book at once.

“Two hours ago, our users suddenly discovered that their connection was severed over a large area. The server was severely jammed, and the portal website completely collapsed. We have confirmed that it was an attack launched by hackers.”

While listening to Hudson’s account of the incident, Jasper walked into the study, turned on the computer, and logged into KK.

Like Hudson had described, he could not go online despite having logged in for more than 10 seconds. Not long after, a notification stating that there was a server connection failure appeared.

After that, Jasper clicked on Terizone’s portal website. Similarly, the original webpage, which was rich in content, had become blank and was now completely devoid of words or pictures.

“Users are scolding us on discussion forums everywhere. What should we do, Mr. Laine?” Hudson asked bitterly.

Netizens were still relatively simple-minded back in the year 2000. The battles between internet companies were also not as competitive as they would be in the future.

However, due to these exact reason, the opinions and comments published online reflected the most authentic user experiences.

Hudson and the others frequently compiled user reviews from discussion forums because of this.

Unfortunately, they were all scolding Terizone right now.

KK kept disconnecting when they wanted to use the software to chat online. They could not log in and the webpage was completely blank as well. Who were the users to blame if not the?

Jasper pondered upon it for a while. “What about Zaine and the others?” he asked.

“They’ve gone to the machinery room to carry out emergency maintenance,” Hudson said.

“Maintain the server first, then solve the problem of user disconnection as soon as possible. You guys are the top programming professionals in the country. You should be familiar with the groups of hackers within the country, right?” Jasper asked.

“Zaine was once the backbone of the Scarlet Union. However, he quit the group. Nevertheless, a lot of people within the hacking industry know him. Without him here, we might be in a worse situation right now,” Hudson replied.

“In that case, use your connections to get in touch with the relevant people and ask them to help you deal with the attack. We must at least try to resist the attack no matter what. Purchase all the firewalls you need for the machinery room. Don’t be afraid of spending money at times like this.

“Next, issue an announcement to notify users that the server has been hacked, and let them know that we promise to resolve it as soon as possible. We must first calm down the users, so write it with a sincere attitude.

“Should I tell everyone that Sena was the one who launched the attack?” Hudson asked, gritting his teeth in anger.
