How was it exposed?
“Lin Xian?”@@@@
Suddenly.
A call from Chu Shanhe across from him snapped Lin Xian back to reality.
Chu Shanhe looked at Lin Xian:
“What’s wrong, Lin Xian?
You look preoccupied.
Did meeting Dean Gao Yan shake you up?”
“No, no.”
Lin Xian smiled:
“I was thinking about something else, about personal privacy...
...
It feels like nowadays, with all the high-tech and big data, everyone doesn’t seem to have any privacy or secrets.
It’s like we’re transparent, with no sense of security.”
“I see.”
Chu Shanhe gave a slight smile:
“You’re worried about the ‘World Hacker Competition,’ aren’t you?”
Lin Xian was taken aback:
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about.
But...”
Suddenly, he became interested:
“But what’s this ‘World Hacker Competition’ you’re talking about?
Does it have any relation to what I was just mentioning about personal privacy and secrets?”
Is there anything special this year?”
Chu Shanhe pointed at the screen:
“Swipe your finger down, check the next news item.”
Lin Xian lowered his head and, following Chu Shanhe’s gesture, slid to the next news item—
“World Hacker Competition Tense as Mi Country Prodigy Targets Dragon Nation’s Skynet!”
?
Lin Xian, intrigued by the sensational news headline, couldn’t help but continue reading.
Skynet, as the name implies, definitely refers to China’s well-known ‘Skynet System.’
As the saying goes, a heaven-reaching net catches everything.
With the existence of the Dragon Nation Skynet System, criminals have nowhere to hide.
In its early days, Skynet was merely about surveillance over public areas through cameras and sensors.
With the maturity of computer and big data technologies in recent years, the Skynet System has been constantly innovating and upgrading.
The current Skynet System is now powerful enough.
Features such as facial recognition, gait recognition, fuzzy identification, and movement tracking have become very basic; the most powerful function of Skynet lies in resource gathering and information analysis.
Within the whole of China, at least billions of various devices are connected to the Skynet System, not just the most basic cameras but also recording systems, sensors, and home appliances, among others.
The Skynet System of today has formed a complete and complex data ecosystem, encapsulating the whereabouts, information, preferences, history, and daily lives of over a billion Chinese people.
If this system were to be breached by hackers...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Confidential information for all countries and citizens would be exposed, not just the past, but even every minute and second of the future.
The Skynet System could change from China’s guardian god into a deadly weapon in the hands of enemies, monitoring the actions of over a billion people.
It was then that Lin Xian understood why the previously scarcely noticed World Hacker Competition was being discussed so extensively this year.
The news continued, stating that in Mi Country an ingenious young hacker named Kevin Walker had emerged.
He was only sixteen years old, yet he was already “distinguished in service” within the hacker domain, having not only hacked into the Pentagon’s network security system but also infiltrated many countries’ defense systems.
