I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 1158

[Chapter 1124 Cyber Attack]

Ventura.

At ten o’clock in the morning, “Iron Man” director Joss Whedon, heroine Brigitte Fonda, Jeff Bridges, Natasha Henstridge and other main creators entered Eric’s private room At the airport, looking at the huge Boeing 747 passenger plane parked on the runway, even though private jets were just a common thing for most people on the scene, everyone couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Mr. Whedon, Miss Fonda, and everyone, please come with me,” Mayer greeted them and said to everyone, “We can get on the plane directly and take off in half an hour. Mr. Williams is working with There’s a video conference over there in New York, so I can’t meet everyone, sorry.”

Naturally, everyone would not care about these details, so they agreed and boarded the plane.

Some staff also took the initiative to help everyone carry their luggage. The next journey will be a very long journey. The group will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo, then from Tokyo to London, and then return, basically a round-the-world trip.

If it was in the past, even if the film company arranged the top-level first-class cabin, or even a special charter flight, everyone would inevitably complain, and the days of trapeze were definitely not good.

But this time, everyone has strong expectations for this trip in their hearts.

The main creators of the movie, plus the entourage of the Firefly Group, the assistants of Brigitte Fonda and others, etc., a team of more than 30 people, after all the boarding arrangements, half an hour has passed, Mayer Er himself reconfirmed that everyone was present before notifying the crew that they could take off.

In the front section of the cabin, in Eric’s study.

Hearing the sound of the flight attendant, Eric and Chris said a few more words, then turned off the video call, and pulled out the seat belt beside the leather chair to fasten the card that was standing opposite Eric’s desk. Lorraine also sat on a single sofa next to her and fastened her seat belt.

After a while, the plane started to have the characteristic bumps when it took off. Eric looked at Caroline, who seemed a little nervous, and said with a smile, “Would you like to come and sit with me?”

Caroline blinked, her face was slightly red, and she said with a slight anger, “No.”

“Or should I sit down?”

“Eric, I will definitely tell my aunt when I am in London this time.”

Listening to Caroline starting this very ineffective threat again, Eric cooperated and pretended to be afraid: “Well, I was wrong.”

Chatting casually, before I knew the plane had stabilized, Eric unfastened his seat belt and said, “I’ll go say hello to everyone.”

Caroline also got up and followed.

Although he does not refuse other people to board this private plane, it seems that this incident cannot be avoided. However, Eric still habitually keeps his own private space. Erika teased Eric privately, saying that he has a very primitive sense of territory in his bones, like a lion.

Therefore, the front quarter of the entire Boeing cabin, except for the cockpit that is not attached to the uppermost floor, is considered Eric’s absolute personal space.

Except for Eric himself, everyone else can only enter with permission.

Leaving the front cabin and passing through the common living room connecting the door corridor, Eric and Caroline entered the middle section of the plane. Only the last section of the plane has a cockpit similar to that of an ordinary airliner, which is used to accommodate accompanying bodyguard assistants, etc. members, but the configuration is also more luxurious than the first-class cabin of an ordinary airliner. Other areas are basically not much different from a luxury apartment.

At this time, everyone gathered in the small bar in the middle to drink and chat, and when they saw Eric appear, they got up one after another.

Eric greeted everyone one by one, sat down at the spacious bar, asked the flight attendant for a cocktail, and then chatted with everyone about the next itinerary and the promotional details of “Iron Man”.

It was only after lunch with everyone that everyone expressed the need to rest and dispersed.

“New Line gave me a script. Although it is a heroine, it needs to be a femme fatale. In fact, it’s all your fault. Since “Instinct”, everyone has been keen to shoot thrillers with femme fatales over the years. film, the agent was worried that I would be labeled as such, so he refused.”

In the living room next to the restaurant, Natasha Henstridge’s sexy and exquisite body was leaning on the sofa, her eyes brightly looking at the man beside her, while telling her recent events, a small hand was still in Airi. The corners of K’s shoulder shirt were twisted and twisted, as if to help him check if there was a place to open the thread.

Eric can clearly see that Natasha’s bulging chest has a small thread at the neckline, and he also wants to check it for the girl, but Caroline always avoids him habitually. Getting along with other women, but after breaking through that relationship, Mayer would often do it.

Worried that the female assistant would break in at any time, Eric could only suppress this charming thought and said, “It’s okay to try other themes occasionally. However, your main energy should still be on “Underworld”. The heroine of a low-cost action movie and the heroine of a big-budget movie. In fact, as long as “Underworld” is done well, you will not be short of work for more than ten years. There is no problem in making five or six consecutive films in this series. .”

“I know,” Natasha noticed the man’s eyes swaying over her chest, and gave him a charming glance, but she obviously didn’t understand how Eric could be a gentleman today, so she took the initiative: “Eric Ke, can I go to the front and take a look?”

Eric shook his head with a smile: “It’s not very good now, it’s still daytime.”

With that said, there was a knock on the door of the living room.

Eric turned his head to look over, and felt some regret in his heart. He shouldn’t have thought of the female assistant, so the female assistant appeared.

“Mary, what’s the matter?”

“Eric, Mitnick is online. He said that the encryption software you need has been sent, but it seems that there are other things.”

Eric nodded: “I’ll go right now.”

Mayer agreed, glancing coldly at Natasha Henstridge before turning away.

“Eric, your assistant really has a personality.”

“Yeah,” Eric reached out and touched Natasha’s delicate face, and said, “The vase can’t do this job.”

“Are you saying I’m a vase?”

“The top one.”

Natasha turned her head to hide from Eric’s hand, and said in a dissatisfied tone, “It doesn’t look like a compliment at all.”

Eric stood up with a smile and said, “Hey, we’ll talk later.”

As he walked out of the living room, he found Mayer still standing in the corridor outside, looking down and pretending to read the document in his hand.

Eric stretched out his hand and patted the female assistant’s buttocks wrapped in a rose-red professional suit, and then walked to the front cabin as if nothing had happened.

Mayer was startled by the sudden attack. There were people in the surrounding rooms. She could only stare at the figure of the man in front of her before she followed with a blushing face.

When I came to the study room in the front cabin, Yahoo’s chief technology officer, Steve Mitnick, had appeared on the video call screen. He was just looking down and busy doing something. Caroline was still sitting on the single sofa next to her, and she saw Airi Ke appeared, stood up and planned to go out, Eric waved his hand, and signaled that Mayer, who followed up, would also sit down, before saying to Steve Mitnick in the video: “Steve, how’s it going? ?”

Hearing Eric’s voice, Steve Mitnick raised his head and said, “Eric, I have sent the encryption software you want to your mailbox. The operation method is very simple. Moreover, you can Set up a pseudo-target file, after the encryption is completed, the encryption software, the target file and the pseudo-target file will be integrated into one, unless the correct password is entered, it cannot be stripped, and the difficulty of cracking is also greatly increased. Moreover, I also set up a cracking trap, Even if a technical expert at my level participates in the cracking, it is easy to be led astray, and in the end, only the pseudo target file will be obtained, and the real file will be automatically deleted.”

Eric sat behind his desk, checked his e-mail with satisfaction, and asked with a smile, “What about yourself?”

“I, of course I can,” Steve Mitnick said without shyness: “But don’t worry, Eric, I won’t do this, I’m a very principled person.”

Eric despised: “I remember you sneaked into my laptop back then.”

“Only that time, I promise,” Steve Mitnick said. “And I didn’t snoop on your boss at the time. Besides, as long as you physically isolate encrypted files, I can’t crack them out of thin air. what.”

“Okay,” Eric shrugged and said, “Mary just said you have other things?”

“Yes,” Steve Mitnick said, looking down at the laptop in front of him again, and then looking up: “Eric, I need to test the network system on your plane, probably five minutes.”

Eric was a little confused: “What?”

“You’re a security check,” Steve Mitnick said, tapping casually on his laptop.

Eric was still a little puzzled, but after a while, both the video call screen and the computer in front of him began to restart automatically. After repeating this for a while, Eric was a little worried about whether Steve’s messing around would affect the plane’s navigation. When things return to business as usual, Steve Mitnick reappears on the video call screen, only to look back at his laptop screen.

Finding that nothing happened, Eric didn’t say anything. After waiting patiently for a while, Steve Mitnick raised his head and said, “No problem, at least the network on your plane is secure and not monitored. However, Eric, I still recommend that you conduct a thorough wiretap inspection of the entire aircraft.”

Eric smiled and said, “If Boeing is found to have eavesdropped on its customers, will they still do business if it is rumored?”

Steve Mitnick shook his head and said, “Eric, the capitals of many countries in the world don’t have Air Force One, do you know why?”

“Um?”

“Because whether they ordered the head of state aircraft from Boeing or Airbus, after delivery, they often found that it was simply an extra-large bug that was completely unusable. Therefore, the heads of state of these countries can only travel randomly from their domestic civil aviation. Companies call commercial airliners.”

“I’m not a head of state, I’m just a businessman.”

“Your current level of attention is much higher than that of the heads of state of many countries, and it is totally worth a lot of people to get all the news about you at all costs.”

“I didn’t expect you to compliment people?”

“A little sympathy.”

Eric shrugged helplessly: “Okay, so, what’s going on?”

Steve Mitnick lowered his head again, tapped on his laptop for a moment, then turned the screen over to the camera.

Eric looked at the dense page of data on the simple black screen that was completely different from the windows operating system, and said, “What is this?”

“The log file records all kinds of data and information about trying to ‘visit’ the Firefly system’s e-mail system during this period of time, look at this,” Steve Mitnick said, pulling down the file a bit, even with a tone in his voice. With some admiration, he said: “The ddos traffic attack exceeds 60g per second at all costs. If we hadn’t adopted a multi-layer firewall system and our network bandwidth was sufficient, Yahoo’s entire e-mail system might have collapsed. And here, this is definitely a genius, I told the staff in the Seattle data center to shut down the server at the last minute, and the other party failed. Last Wednesday, the internal mailbox system of the Firefly system was suspended for an hour, you should know it ?”

“Mayer told me, I thought it was just an ordinary technical failure,” Eric nodded, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and said, “So, you mean that someone launches a cyber attack on Yahoo again. ?”

“No, it’s someone who is actually launching a cyber attack on your personal communications system,” Steve Mitnick said. “Actually, it’s always been there. It’s just, you know, with me, Those guys have never succeeded. However, the situation seems to be getting more and more serious recently. In the last week, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com has launched 37 attacks on the Firefly system’s e-mail system, which is more than the previous few. Months add up. So, I think I still have to remind you that I can’t promise you any more right now.”

Eric couldn’t help laughing and said: “You are such a proud guy, there are times when you admit defeat?”

“There has never been an unbreakable firewall in this world, and I never said that I must be the smartest person in the world. At least, Xia Xia will grow up a little bit, and he will definitely be better than me.”

“Okay, so, what now?”

“First of all, as I just said, you need to conduct a thorough eavesdropping and counterintelligence inspection of everything around you, including your staff. Oh, Mary, Carly, I’m not talking about you.”

Eric interrupted: “Speak the business.”

“Well, also, while I can keep an eye on the Firefly system and keep the email system as safe as possible, Firefly’s employees are also easy targets, especially your personal communication targets. You can get your e-mail information indirectly. So, the most important thing is that you should avoid sending sensitive information through e-mail as much as possible, if possible, the whole firefly system, it is best to do a device and network update and Cyber security training for employees, of course, it costs a lot of money. Finally, cell phones and telephones, which I am not very good at, but also very dangerous, you have to ask technical experts to help.”
