Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: First Send the Lu Family an Appetizer
Nowadays, people are practically online every single moment.
This news appeared out of thin air and quickly attracted attention across the internet.
It spread rapidly, from one person to ten, then to hundreds. Within ten minutes, whether on Weibo, Moments, or on major social platforms, everyone was reposting this news, as it concerned everyone’s personal interests.
[The Doors Eighth Generation System has twelve critical vulnerabilities, while the second generation AI system developed by LOOK Company has fifty-six critical vulnerabilities.]
Below was an image, a pixelated list of vulnerabilities.
Once this list was decoded, users with the Doors System would face enormous security risks.
The Doors System is one of the mainstream systems; nearly one-third of people using computers would have it installed. Despite a gradual decrease in the user base, the absolute number remains considerable.
Regardless of whether this news is real or fake, everyone immediately descended into unprecedented panic and worry.
Fearful that their computers would be hacked, worried that their money would be stolen, anxious about the leakage of various confidential data.
Right now, ignoring all consequences, many people shut down their computers, cut off the power; no one dared to boot up their systems in such circumstances.
Soon, some programmers who were very curious about the matter verified the truth of this information.
A senior programmer: [I said it before, if the Doors Eighth Generation System doesn’t upgrade, something big is bound to happen eventually. And now, it has happened!]
Mediterranean Programmer: [Speaking of which, I knew this system had critical vulnerabilities, so I never used this system. Alas…I sympathize with those users.]
Grid-Shirt Programmer: [I only found three critical vulnerabilities, what are the other nine? Oh master, please enlighten us! This pixelation is maddening!]
Internet: [So, who exactly broke this news? This person is truly incredible!]
At this moment, the mastermind behind the massive panic, Lu Mian, had her hands clasped behind her head, leaning lightly against the chair back, leisurely watching one network comment after another.
Compared to the panic online, she, the manipulator behind the chaos, seemed particularly carefree and at ease.
She is a top hacker, and unearthing all vulnerabilities of the Eighth Generation System was effortless for her.
Of course, adhering to moral standards and professional ethics, she did not disclose the vulnerabilities.
Once disclosed, although the Lu Family would be severely hit and collapse instantly, the direct impact would be on the users. They are the innocent group and should not bear the brunt of her feud with the Lu Family.
So, to prevent unscrupulous hackers from causing chaos, she directly hid the vulnerability list.
Luckily, the pixelation she applied is unbreakable, ensuring no worry of leakage.
Lu Mian’s standpoint: the fact that the Doors System has critical vulnerabilities is true, it’s simply that she revealed it.
Even if she didn’t expose them today, eventually, there would be another hacker to do it one day. By then, users would face real losses.
So, just consider this a little appetizer for the Lu Family.
Hope they enjoy it.
Smile.
——
With Lu Mian’s exposure, many people flocked to the LOOK Company’s website and Weibo, leaving comments demanding an explanation.
Some even brought up the first generation system.
[To be honest, although the first generation system is old, it was genuinely safe back then. I remember when it first launched, many top hackers conducted tests and didn’t find a single vulnerability. It’s because of this famous test that the Doors System quickly gained prominence and became the most reliable mainstream system.]
[The person above is clearly an old-timer, I also used the first generation. Honestly, the system back then was truly stable. At that time, the internet wasn’t so developed, and many companies’ products were inadequate, but the Doors System managed to stand out, guaranteeing stability and safety. May I ask LOOK Company, have you changed the R&D team?]
[They surely changed a long time ago! The current team can’t compare with the old one! They can’t even upgrade to the ninth generation; they’re absolutely useless!]
[Trash system, it’s blacklisted for life!]
[I swear, I’ll never use this system again! My six-figure password is protecting a three-digit balance, but I’m easily frightened and can’t handle scares!]
At this time, Lu Yutian, lying in the hospital, jumped straight out of bed after seeing the posts online.
Her head did not ache anymore, nor did she feel hungry, and she lost herself in a stupor.
In just a few days, she seemed to have lived through a century, so arduous and long.
Ever since the moment she took an IQ test, she seemed to have reached the pinnacle of life, afterward, all paths led downhill.
Her dad was taken away by investigators.
The Lu Family’s company was reported, and their stocks kept falling.
Now, the cornerstone industry of the Lu Family, the Doors System, is being exposed for having critical vulnerabilities and is being condemned by the whole internet.
Lu Yutian staggered, feeling as if the sky was collapsing.
Who?
Who is trying to harm her?
Who is struggling against the Lu Family?
Lu Yutian’s brain was about to shut down, and after a long stagnation, she imagined certain scenarios, making a significant decision.
She took out her phone, frantically opened Weibo, and issued an official statement.
[The information on the internet is complex and muddled, truth and falsehood interwoven, please discern carefully and refrain from spreading rumors. The Doors System team is upgrading the system with all their might and will officially meet everyone in ten days. Thank you for your continued support!]
Lu Yutian hardened her heart, gritting her teeth as she posted the message.
It was posted, and there was no turning back.
No matter what, she must upgrade the Eighth Generation System to the Ninth Generation within ten days, as an account to the public.
“Who really…”
Lu Yutian gripped her phone fiercely, and in her mind flashed a cold and arrogant face, suddenly realizing.
Lu Mian!
Lu Mian is the number one ranked hacker; it must be her doing this!
She definitely has the capability to pull this off!
Lu Yutian took a deep breath, gritting her teeth with cold venomous light flashing in her eyes.
Alright, really alright.
Lu Mian wants to completely stand against her, doesn’t she?
Then let them wait and see!
A mere commoner relying on a little skill, dares to fight against their elites?!
Then she shall act for society, and teach Lu Mian a good lesson!
At this moment, Lu Yutian’s phone rang.
The call was from the family retainer, Yang Tao of the Lu Family, “Miss!”
“Uncle Yang.”
“Miss, have you seen the news online? Company shareholders couldn’t reach the chairman, so they’re calling me, demanding to withdraw their shares. Miss, what should we do!”
“Uncle Yang, stabilize the shareholders first. I’ve already issued a statement, and we can upgrade the new system in ten days. As long as we hold them off for ten more days, the Lu Family will definitely survive this.”
“But, what if there’s no upgrade in ten days?”
“…” Lu Yutian paused, “I’ll find a way. Uncle and Aunt wouldn’t let the Lu Family collapse like this, even if not for my sake, at least for my grandfather’s dignity!”
