Chapter 726: Chapter 323: Cybersecurity
"Boss, did you need us for something?" Soon, the engineer Priyan and White Wolf rushed over in a hurry.
"Big trouble."
Allen Zhang, with a somber expression, tossed the surveillance device, still flashing a red light, onto the table and accusingly said, "What is this? Why is it here on the island? And secretly placed behind the bookshelf and mural of the villa, did none of you notice it? How are you doing your security work?"
White Wolf and the engineer, seeing the surveillance device, knew this was no small matter. They felt a sudden buzz in their heads, inhaled a cold breath, and were sweating profusely.
White Wolf quickly explained, "I’m sorry, boss, we indeed didn’t notice any surveillance devices here, it is our negligence."
"When you find one cockroach, there’s already too many hidden away to count!!"
Allen Zhang irritably continued, "No wonder others know everything about the island’s movements, and that such chaos broke out the moment something happened! Others’ spies have infiltrated the island like a sieve! And here you are still doing skin-deep work! Taking money and dawdling!"
"Whether it’s me or the previous Priyan who hired you, the purpose was to ensure good security work, to avoid being harassed by others. But now, there are even surveillance devices where I rest, do you think I can still trust your security?"
Allen Zhang interrogated them, "If it was the CIA and Homeland Security Bureau monitoring illegal activities on the island, I wouldn’t argue with you. But now I’ve just taken over the island, haven’t done anything, and am engaged in legal business. Yet they are still monitoring me, indicating they are not CIA, but some other malicious forces. You didn’t even detect their movements, how are you doing your job?"
"Boss, we mainly deal with physical security, and a different group of mercenaries is responsible for surveillance and cyber security."
White Wolf, gritting his teeth, explained, "Priyan has entrusted the daily work to them and was very confident in them. We could only cooperate in many respects, but we didn’t think they had ulterior motives. At the time of the incident, those people had already taken the money and run, now being fugitives wanted by the authorities."
"Do I need to give you an award for this?" Allen Zhang said, without any good mood.
"Of course not..." White Wolf was at a loss for words.
But as the head of the security, with an hourly wage of 55 US dollars, making four to five hundred dollars a day, that’s what he’s paid for, and he didn’t dare to back-talk his boss.
After all, if you won’t do it, there are plenty of others who will!
The General Sect Leader has so many talented individuals beneath him, with Battle ships and Destroyers, and today he even recruited so many retired navy personnel to work here. Their mercenaries, in many respects, can’t compare with regular military, except for the courage to face gunfire; other advantages are non-existent.
Even on the battlefield, the advantage of being fearless and willing to fight to the death has been replaced by drones.
Without this job, other than going to the front lines to fight, they couldn’t find a job paying over 40 US dollars per hour. Plus meals and accommodations provided, double wartime wages, and a million-dollar condolence payment.
"Boss, we will inspect immediately! We can definitely find all the remaining electronic devices!" White Wolf immediately pledged.
"Go check! If you can’t find the surveillance devices, you don’t need to work here anymore. Pack up and roll up your bedding and leave early!" Allen Zhang sternly warned them.
"Understood!" White Wolf turned and hurried out of the door immediately.
Allen Zhang then turned to the pensive engineer and said irritably, "What are you still doing here? Go with him! If not for exposure of the base architectural plans, how could those surveillance devices be hidden in such secret places? If there isn’t an explanation today, I’ll sort you all out!"
"Boss, I will immediately go and inspect." Stanley felt his scalp tingle and hurriedly ran out.
Allen Zhang watched him leave and, looking at the surveillance device on the table, took out his phone and sent a message to Blitz, preparing to ask for a computer software program version of Terminator 2.0.
Allen Zhang: There’s been a cybersecurity vulnerability at my island, surveillance devices everywhere. Even if they’re discovered and removed, it’s certain they will reappear, and there might even be people using submarines and spy balloons to monitor every move on my island. What do you think is the solution?
Blitz: You can install a signal jammer in the signal towers or server rooms, set up automated shooting systems at key locations that trigger on human presence. My Terminator 2.0 software can also activate a feature that automatically scans for foreign signal sources, no need to worry about being monitored. You can have everyone on the island connect to an exclusive local area network, and if signals from phones or electronic devices that don’t belong on the island appear, they can be promptly detected!
Blitz: If you’re worried about someone using submarines to monitor the island, you could also purchase a batch of electronic Water Mines and deploy them near the shallow waters of the bay. If any boats or submarines approach without permission, they will be obliterated the moment they touch the mines.
Allen Zhang: Good idea. What about spy balloons?
Blitz: For spy balloons, there’s currently no really good method to deal with them, after all, even the United States’ Ministry of Defense hasn’t had much luck with those, having to deploy several F22 fighters using air-to-air missiles to destroy them. If they’re at a lower altitude, you can use signal jammers or dispatch planes to destroy them. If they’re too high, we can also choose to use balloons, with explosives attached to destroy the enemy’s balloons.
