Chapter 3108 Cloud Album Leak

"No way?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't believe this.

When it comes to the cloud computing industry, he knows this very well.

There are many cloud photo album products now, and they vary from good to bad. The cloud photo albums used by Hollywood actresses should not be some fake stuff, they will be well-known photo album products, and they may even be the cloud photo albums that come with mobile phones.

This kind of cloud photo album is backed by a very powerful cloud computing platform.

This ensures the security of album information.

Hackers want to break into large cloud computing platforms... This is almost impossible. Today's cloud computing platforms have super powerful protection systems. Just like Ziwei Cloud and Microsoft Cloud, even the world's top hackers are unlikely to break into them.

Even if it is broken, there are top-notch hackers of this level who are standing at the pinnacle of technology and have no shortage of money at all. They have long been recruited. Either serve the country, serve the military, or serve a large technology company.

Taking the nude photos of a female star to extort money, even if the blackmail is successful, how much money will it cost?

The top hackers simply don't bother to do such a lowly thing.

Those who use nude photos to extort money must be third-rate hackers.

And it is impossible for third-rate hackers to break into large cloud computing platforms.

Zhao Li Muge said quickly: "It's true, it's true that the cloud photo album has been hacked. There seem to be thousands or tens of thousands of all the pornographic photos, all from one cloud photo album. But the specific situation , you can ask about the situation, it seems that this matter is quite serious now, and everyone in Hollywood is panicked.”

Zhou Buqi made a call directly to Jason Kilar, CEO of Ziweixing Global.

Then it was confirmed.

"That's true. There is a group of hackers who broke into a cloud photo album."

"How come? Which photo album product?"

"There is no accurate evidence yet. However, we can make a general inference." Jason Kilar also has a technical background, and there is no obstacle when talking about cloud photo albums.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Which product is it?"

Kilar said: "There is a high probability that it is Apple's photo library, and it is Apple Cloud that was breached."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was surprised, "Has Apple Cloud been breached?"

Jason Kilar said: "It's probably Apple Cloud. Those female celebrities mainly use iPhones. Judging from the texture and style of the photos, it also fits the iPhone's camera set. If it's a Samsung or Ai Star, it might be a different photo style.”

Zhou Buqi agreed with this judgment, "Well, that's Apple."

The U.S. smartphone market is still dominated by the iPhone.

Especially women.

Globally, iPhone is almost always the first choice for female users if they have sufficient budget.

Kilar said: "This matter is quite serious and has affected the entire Hollywood. Many film companies have received such invitations. Such large-scale extortion is simply the first time in the history of Hollywood."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What kind of countermeasures are we taking now?"

Kilar said: "The actors' union and women's rights protection organizations are discussing..."

"What does it have to do with them?"

Zhou Buqi is disgusted with various non-governmental organizations in the United States, which seriously interfere with the exploitation of employees by capitalists.

Kilar explained: "This is a typical case of eating from both ends. The company is extorting a sum, and the actors are extorting a sum. I have communicated with Warner and Fox, and everyone's intention...is that they don't want to participate. "

"Well, I think so!" Zhou Buqi really didn't want to bow to those blackmail hackers, "It's not something too serious, it's just nude photos of women. Who hasn't taken pictures of those female stars, female models, etc. Something big? Women’s rights are so fierce now, aren’t they all advocating for women’s liberation? There are also strikes in many places, saying that they want women to have the same right to go shirtless as men.”

Kilar laughed and said, "That's right."

Zhou Buqi said: "The company does not accept blackmail! We won't give you a penny. Whoever wants to be exposed will be exposed... So what if photos like Scarlett Johansson's are made public? I don't think it's the case. It will affect the box office of the Marvel series, but because of this kind of hype, it will make her more popular in the market and bring more attention to the movie. "

Kilar said: "She may not be able to agree."

"Um?"

"I have just contacted Marvel, and the news they gave me is that Scarlett may accept reconciliation."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Kilar said: "She may pay a sum of money to keep her series of photos from being published. The few photos I sent you were sent by hackers. They are only a small part and the scale is very small. It is said that there are hundreds of them in total. They are all selfies of hers, and there seem to be many more...more exaggerated photos, which are very, very large and unsightly, surpassing many adult movies."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi now knew what was going on.

If it were just ordinary pornographic photos, this would be nothing at all. Isn't it just a woman's body? As if no one has seen it before, everyone will think you are a victim and sympathize with you.

However, if it is some extreme ways of destroying women's bodies in the bathroom or bedroom, it may be challenging the ethical bottom line of society. If such a selfie is circulated, it will seriously affect your own image. At this time, you will no longer be sympathetic, and you will be considered shameless.

Kilar sighed, "Many people are too ignorant of technology and think that cloud photo albums are really impeccable. If photos of that size are taken, they must be stored separately in a device isolated from the Internet. , cannot be stored in computers and mobile phones, let alone the cloud!”

Zhou Buqi could tell that he was reminding himself of this with good intentions, so he smiled and said: "They may not even know what a cloud photo album is. There is indeed a certain cognitive threshold."

"This incident has affected a wide range of people. I guess..." Kilar is not very optimistic about this. "I guess except for a few brave female stars, their selfies may not be so extreme, and they would dare to follow these The bad guys are not afraid of being exposed. Most people may choose to compromise and accept the blackmail. I predict that Bitcoin will see another surge in value in the next few months.”

If you pay the ransom through traditional financial channels, there will be traces.

It will be a sure thing.

The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it can bypass the existing financial system and provide convenience for some illegal and criminal groups. The continuous surge in Bitcoin is all related to some shady big money.

Zhou Buqi attached great importance to this matter.

It's not that he cares about the innocence of those female celebrities and models.

What he was thinking of was the crisis Zhou Shaoning encountered during the day.

iPhone6 ​​is so powerful.

So much so that our own Aster6 couldn't compete at all, and it didn't even give it a chance to drink soup. This is not possible, we have to find a way to fight against Apple! At least the public must question the iPhone, a wave of public opinion crisis will occur, and consumers will be guided to the path of purchasing Aster6.

This time the nude photos of Hollywood actresses are a good event!

Is there any news that is more hyped and more eye-catching than this?

Taking selfies is risky, so be careful when using your iPhone!

Girls all like to use iPhones, and young girls love beauty. In an increasingly open era, they also like to record the appearance of their youthful and beautiful bodies when they were young. This is also human nature.

However, iPhone selfies are not safe!

Apple Cloud is so bad!

There is a risk of leaking secrets!

Um!

This is a great point!

Zhou Buqi said: "This matter needs to be publicized!"

"publicity?"

Kilar was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what the big boss meant.

Zhou Buqi said: "We must fight against those illegal hackers to the end, we must fight openly, and we must publicly stand up with female celebrities! The company will not pay or accept blackmail, but we must put pressure on the bad guys in public opinion. The bigger the public opinion, the better! Let’s hype it up! At the same time, we call on girls to be careful when taking selfies and protect their privacy.”

"Okay, we're going to take the moral high ground."

Kilar also thought that Boss Zhou wanted to use this incident to establish a good external image of Ziweixing Global and cater to the trend of women's rights.
