Chapter 276 The World is Focusing Here
1992 10 Month 31 Day.
Santa Clara County, California.
In an amphitheater-like building, countless journalists and companies from all over the world are gathering to launch the so-called "first Global Internet Conference."
The reason why it is called the 1st Internet Conference.
This is because the organizer of this conference is very mysterious, and the invitation method is very unique and sophisticated, without any paper invitation letters.
But the night before, all major Internet companies in the world, such as Intel and Apple in the United States, Toshiba and Sony in Japan, etc.
The main system of the official website was suddenly hacked, and a hacker virus hijacked the hosts of many technology companies.
They were asked to come to this building today to attend this meeting, and were given 24 hours to save themselves.
If they don't unlock the virus after 24 hours and don't come to the conference.
All data on the company's official website will be automatically deleted and can never be recovered.
This explosive news instantly made headlines around the world, even on the global Internet, which was beginning to take shape.
All major forums are filled with discussions about this matter, with countless elite hackers and elite corporate technical executives participating.
Everyone tried to crack the virus in the past 24 hours, but all failed.
At the same time, all major media around the world also came to witness this unique conference.
The atmosphere at the scene was already very heated. Many elite hackers who had been hiding in the Internet for many years appeared in the public eye for the first time.
Executives of the companies being held hostage have all arrived at the scene, and FBI officers are also in place.
In front of the camera, executives from major Internet companies around the world denounced this despicable behavior, while at the same time speaking some high-sounding clichés about network security.
In comparison, some hackers' words are much more interesting.
"We don't care whether the data of those big companies will be deleted, I only care about the means they use to do it."
"The techniques they used were incredibly simple, yet they were able to thwart all cyberattacks launched against them."
"To put it in the simplest terms, if this cyber attack is likened to the Normandy Landing, we are more like ordinary American soldiers holding M1 Garand rifles."
"They were German soldiers hiding in bunkers with heavy machine guns. Our tactics were the same, we all raised our guns and shot at them."
"But we can only fire eight bullets at a time, but they can fire thousands of bullets at us in a second."
"No CPU in the world can achieve this level. This is the only point that makes us curious."
A spokesperson for DarkSide, a world-renowned hacker group, said that all of these hackers were wearing black robes.
Wearing an exaggerated ghost mask on his face, he sat there, clearly distinguished from the group of corporate executives wearing high-end suits and with an elitist attitude.
As time passed, the press conference was getting closer.
Reporters set up their cameras and the noise at the scene reached a climax; Internet celebrities even said something about it in their blogs.
"F*ck you man, do you know how valuable these bastards sitting in this little room are?"
"This must be a conspiracy by the Soviet Union's Red Hacker Organization. They are gathering the elites of global capitalism here in this way."
"They will then use cyber attacks to hijack a Minuteman III ICBM at an Air Force base in Texas."
"Using missiles to turn the world's future network hopes directly into ashes, all of this is a Soviet conspiracy."
Conspiracy theories, emergency public relations, technology worship, countless voices mixed together, making this amphitheater-like unfinished building the focus of the world at this moment.
Behind the makeshift stage, they were surrounded by numerous federal investigators.
Carl and the other two, who were hiding using the invisibility spell, were spying on the situation at the scene.
Carl was smoking without a care in the world, and Cedric was fanning himself with his hands to avoid the secondhand smoke while looking at the crowd outside with some anxiety.
Kevin Lestrange was still making calls non-stop, and of course he used soundproofing spells to avoid being exposed while talking on the phone.
"With so many people involved, this is a big problem. I saw a report this morning saying that our cyber attack caused at least tens of billions of dollars in losses."
"I can't even imagine how much it would be if converted into gold Galleons. Even if we gave the entire British wizarding world to them, it probably wouldn't be enough."
Cedric was the first to lose control.
"Calm down. What are you afraid of? I'm here. Even if something goes wrong, I'll pay for it. No one will care about your little money."
"And I can bet you right now that after the press conference is over, they will not ask me for compensation."
"They would even try their best to ask me to sell them shares, and desperately send their money to me."
Carl said nonchalantly while puffing out smoke.
"That's right. We have been preparing for so long, is it just for a small fight? Besides, when we launched the cyber attack yesterday."
"You are quite arrogant, aren't you? I rarely see that domineering look in you, Mr. Diggory."
“It was such an eye-opener for me.”
Kevin Lestrange hung up the phone and looked at Cedric, who was a little frightened, with a mocking expression.
"Didn't I lose my temper yesterday? And it's all your fault. You were the one who instigated me and provoked me with your words."
"I was just deceived by you two. How could I know that the consequences would be so serious?"
Cedric screamed out of control like a deceived little rabbit.
"What about the federal government and Europe?"
But no one paid attention to his anger. Carl simply ignored it and turned to look at Kevin Lestrange.
The other party replied calmly.
"It's basically all done. Your method is indeed very unique and effective. Now the world's attention is focused here."
"We only have two possibilities now. Either we become billionaires or we go back to jail. Are you sure it's time to do our best?"
Hearing this, Karl threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and showed his signature smirk on his face.
He stared at his two companions, one panicked and the other calm, and said with a firm look in his eyes.
“In my life, I have always tried my best.”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, and all the FBI agents hiding in the background fell into a baby-like sleep.
As he walked towards the stage, he opened the restrictions of the dog system in his mind and spoke in a kind voice.
"Are you ready? I'm about to fulfill my last wish."
[Always be prepared, dear host, let the whole world welcome the arrival of the true demon king! ! Jiejiejie! ! ]
