  Chapter 52 Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

   Money laundering, some things related to computers must be handled by someone.

  When Ye Dongqing first met Paul Kutcher, this guy found some information about him from the FBI's file library, and hurriedly destroyed the evidence in advance, thus avoiding a prison disaster.

   Compared with squatting in a small black house, the cost of two million dollars is nothing, and then Paul Kutcher started to help him work, the kind that earns millions of dollars a year.

It's ridiculous to say that they have known each other for nearly three years, and then they met for the first time in the real world. Because they could talk well, and Ye Dongqing deliberately wooed them, they have a very good relationship with each other. Otherwise, why would they come to attend his father's funeral? .

This time, I started to go ashore in vain and started a more formal business. The reason why I went all the way to Mount Vernon today was to get to know an old friend again and ask him to do something for me. Let's prevent Paul from repeating his old ways and living a life of hiding everywhere.

  As a social animal, human beings naturally like to socialize with others. Ye Dongqing doesn't have many friends. Out of nostalgic thinking, after solving the problem of eating and drinking, she immediately found the door by herself.

  Miss Laura took a few deep breaths, got out of the car and walked across the yard to the door, raised her arm and rang the doorbell.

  The camera at the door turned, and a voice suddenly sounded: "Who are you, and what are you doing at my house?"

   "Paul Kutcher? Someone let me tell you something."

Laura heard the abnormal noise, saw the camera following the sound, and was still moving with her movements, her expression became tense, thinking that she had been tricked by Ye Dongqing, and she saw the big Mercedes-Benz G still parked in the distance. Then, this is a little relieved.

"…What's up?"

   "My boss said that he knew about Microsoft's zero-day vulnerability last year. If you don't want to go to jail, come out and talk to us. I need your help."

  Just paraphrasing Ye Dongqing's words, Laura doesn't even know what a "zero-day vulnerability" is, let alone the relationship between Ye Dongqing and Paul.

Zero-day vulnerability (zero-day), also known as zero-day attack, refers to a security hole that is exploited maliciously immediately after being discovered. Paul discovered a security hole in the Windows-XP operating system, and then contacted Microsoft anonymously, threatening that if he did not Attack the users of the Microsoft XP operating system for money, and paralyze thousands of computers to prove that you really have strength.

At that time, the Windows-XP system had just been launched, and Microsoft was worried about causing panic among users, so it transferred US$1.6 million into an account according to his request. This was a cyber crime and involved extortion. Months, or maybe a few years, depends on whether Microsoft will kill him.

  In the room on the second floor, a young man named Paul Kutcher instantly became nervous, and immediately planned to run away, but his name and home address were known by the other party. Even if he ran, where could he go? For hackers, the leakage of real information means bad luck.

  Opening the curtains and looking out, there was only a **** Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road, and he could still see a man in a suit waving at him.

  Paul's heart was a little chilled. For the time being, he couldn't guess whether he was being targeted by the police or his whereabouts were found by his colleagues. Either way, it meant tragedy.

  Heart rate exploded.

  Ye Dongqing became younger, and Paul was only 20 years old. He was good at computers. He dropped out of school early and went home to make money online. He lied to his parents that he would help others maintain the security of the firewall.

  In case his parents found out that he had committed a crime, Paul no longer dared to think about it. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he finally decided to talk about it first...

  Going downstairs and opening the door, only a crack was exposed. He stared at Laura warily and asked, "Who is your boss, from Microsoft, right?"

  Laura didn't know how to answer, she shook her head and looked to the side of the road, only to see Ye Dongqing walking over with her hands in her pockets.

   It's a wonderful and weird feeling to be younger and your friends to be younger.

  The scruffy man with a beard in the impression disappeared, and the Paul in front of him looked immature no matter how he looked. Ye Dongqing stretched out her hand to push the door and walked in. She was not polite at all, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth:

   "Easy man, I didn't report you to the police, that wouldn't do me any good, over a million dollars, right?

   Enough to take you for a long time, it is a good idea to keep your money in the Cayman Islands, and maybe I can give you some good advice, transfer the money to the United States, otherwise you will not be able to access it. "

  Paul Kutcher completely gave up after hearing this. He couldn't even think of it. This is the story he told Ye Dongqing as a joke more than ten years later.

   Didn't ask how to find out, he was more concerned about another thing: "What do you want me to do for you? Maybe we can reach an agreement, an agreement that is beneficial to both of us! There is no need to call the police, buddy."

   "I only found you for your help."

   Carelessly came to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Ye Dongqing raised his legs. He felt that it was very good to tease his old friend. Judging from Paul's face, he should be scared to death.

   "Say, what do you want me to do for you."

   "No trouble, I found my long-lost sister, but she is now sent to the Children's Relief Society.

   If I don't do something, she will be adopted soon, and I just want her back with me. Please hack into their system and help modify some files, so that we can even out a deal that is very beneficial to you. "

  Paul didn't really believe it, but since he was sent to the Children's Relief Society, it meant that most of them were orphans and children waiting for adoption, which was much easier than he imagined.

Now I just want to get rid of the trouble, so I agreed decisively: "I can try, it shouldn't be too troublesome to break through the firewall of the Children's Relief Society. You must first confirm that they use electronic files to record information. If you use paper files to save information, we Can't be of much help."

   "It's the 21st century, so it won't be so old, try it now, I'll go with you." Ye Dongqing got up and said.

Next to   , Laura didn't know why, she only knew that Ye Dongqing's parents had passed away. As for whether Ye Dongqing really had a younger sister, she didn't hear him talk about it.

  Paul was caught by the little tail, and he resisted from the bottom of his heart to let them enter his room. However, he couldn't refuse in this situation, so he had to frown and lead the way.

  Thinking about how to fight back in his mind, he suddenly remembered that the other party could even find out his own home and name, and began to worry that he would be retaliated after revenge.

   Hackers on the Internet are scary, they seem to be able to wreak havoc and wreak havoc.

  The scene is changed to reality. Paul is just a coward who hates sports and dare not even strike up a conversation. The room is a mess, and there is a "Playboy" on the bed.

  The bunny **** the cover is quite sexy, but Ye Dongqing doesn't want to pick it up, who knows what Paul's hands touched first when he flipped through the magazine...
