Battlefield Contractor

Two days later, Lin Rui met Mr. K in a hospital in South Africa.

This originally strong black man with a bald head is now almost thinner, and his medical suit covers his original large skeleton, looking a little empty.

"Mr. K, it seems that you are recovering well." Lin Rui nodded at him.

"It's ironic. My doctor advised me not to overeating, saying that losing weight is good for my health. Now I have lost nearly 30 catties because of my poor health." Mr. K smiled.

"At least you can tell jokes, it seems that the situation is okay. Although to be honest, I don't like you very much. But I don't like your death in the hands of the secret society even more.

I would rather see you overeating and then dying of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. "Lin Rui is serious and authentic.

Mr. K gave a wry smile, "I am a patient, you came to visit a patient, can't you say a few words of comfort?"

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter with me?" Lin Rui asked.

"The secret files of those secret agencies have been cracked? The list of secret agencies has been obtained, right?" Mr. K looked at him and asked him.

"Of course, the list is now in the hands of your chief, and he is trying to clear people from the CIA.

Of course he is not a good person, he is just for high-level service. There are various shady transactions between those high-level officials and secret agencies.

In order to cover up all this, someone must naturally come forward to deal with it. Therefore, the current director is specifically responsible for handling these matters. Lin Rui nodded. "Don't you just want to ask this." If you just ask about these things, you can get the answers you want.

There is no need for me to come and run. So let’s talk about it, what is it that you came to me? "

Mr. K looked at him silently, and finally nodded at him, "I already know what you said, and I have seen the list of secret agencies."

"You look like this, they can still give you access to those files? To be honest, you don't look like you can work now." Lin Rui looked at Mr. K with surprise.

"I have worked in the bureau for nearly 30 years, and I always have some privileges." Mr. K smiled.

"I don't believe that there is a certain kind of privilege in an organization like yours, and I believe it was your new director who approved you to read these materials.

And he let you see these must have his reasons. You, the new director, is still our company’s employer. I know he is not an ordinary role. "Lin Rui said slowly.

"Well, you are right. The reason why he rushed to find me not long after I woke up and let me read this information. There was a reason," Mr. K replied.

"Then what's the reason?" Lin Rui asked while looking at him.

"You should know that in addition to the list, there are several damaged file fragments in the data in that hard disk box. These fragments have just been restored.

Our technicians extracted some useful information from it, although it is not complete. But based on this fragmented information, we can still infer something from it. "Mr. K looked at Lin Rui seriously.

"About what?" Lin Rui asked.

"ElectronicWarfare Associates, a U.S. defense contractor," EWA for short." Mr. K looked at him and said.

"Electronic Warfare Association, I have heard of them." Lin Rui nodded, "So, there is information about them in the secret file organized by the secret society?

But it is not surprising that the secret society organization has connections with many organizations in the United States. "

"I know this is not surprising. But the strange thing is that, as a US defense contractor, ElectronicWarfare Associates (EWA) suddenly claimed that it was under a cyber attack in the past week.

The company disclosed data breaches that occurred after threat actors invaded their email systems, which contained documents containing sensitive information. "Mr. K replied.

"Is it a leak?" Lin Rui frowned.

Mr. K nodded, "It is reported that the Electronic Warfare Association provides electronic equipment to the US government. The customer list includes the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

According to the data incident notice sent to the Montana Attorney General's Office, the Electronic Site Association (EWA) realized that the recent phishing incident had limited impact on e-mail accounts and tried to downplay the impact of security breaches.

The company’s experts believe that the attacker was merely an attempt to commit wire fraud.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time the company has become a victim of a cyber attack. In January 2020, the Electronic Warfare Association (EWA) was attacked by ransomware, and its web server was infected with Ryuk ransomware.

This time we just cracked out all the useful information, and they suddenly announced that a leak had occurred. It can't be regarded as a pure coincidence in any way. "Mr. K sighed.

"The secret society organization is pervasive and infiltrating an American defense contractor is nothing to them." Lin Rui replied.

"But according to the information we have obtained, EWA is a supplier of high-tech defense hardware and software solutions for communications, access control, simulation, training, management, testing and monitoring systems (radar) in the United States.

The company's main customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force, DARPA, OSD), the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), many of which involve military confidential information and are highly sensitive.

And before that, there was no evidence that they were related to the secret agency organization. "Mr. K said solemnly.

"So what, what do you want to say?" Lin Rui frowned.

"What I want to say is that this leak is very serious, and according to our investigation, a group of Russian hackers have been targeted.

The investigation was directed to a Russian hacker organization, which is mainly responsible for the development and distribution of malware. According to the investigation, the computers of 300 institutions in more than 40 countries have been infected by malware developed by this organization. "Mr. K replied.

"This is a great character." Lin Rui nodded.

"Now we believe that this organization has a very deep relationship with the secret agency organization. This incident is not an accident, it is very likely that the two sides cooperated to cover up something."

Mr. K looked at Lin Rui, "The biggest reason the above is looking for me in such a hurry is that I was once in charge of the European intelligence organization.

Have enough knowledge about electronic information crimes in Europe. Moreover, this matter also has the background of the secret society. "

"Say the key point." Lin Rui made a gesture.

"The point is that this must involve the secret agency's major secrets, so they used the Russian hacker forces organized by the secret agency to plan an information leakage incident.

Its purpose is to conceal the connection between EWA and the secret agency organization.

We want to find out what this connection is? What are they planning? "Mr. K replied.
