Chapter 44: Shut Down the Server?
Translator: 549690339
Finn Lewis did not throw all of the evidence onto the forum, he kept some, which were, of course, heavyweight pieces. Among the over one hundred videos, he later found not only ones of female students, but also a surprising number of female teachers! Especially female PhDs who were about to stay at the school and even some other teachers…!
These materials were all arranged by Zero, and Finn initially didn’t look too closely. There was too much information, too much for him to go through. Who would have thought that Robert Thomp would be so brazen. Finn could well imagine that if this information were all made public, Robert Thomp would not only be utterly disgraced, but he’d probably face decades in prison.
However, currently, Robert Thomp is still safe for the time being. In fact, even if he is safe, Robert Thomp is already in a panic. From the moment the hacker began posting the first video on the forum to the end of the 103rd video, it took approximately half an hour, and Robert Thomp’s face had gone through several shades.
At the end, he was nearly ashen-faced till the Immortal Science Company’s security personnel couldn’t reclaim the server’s ultimate right. They had no choice but to shut down the server. If the server wasn’t shut down, the reputation of Immortal Science Company would also be damaged. At this point, it is still salvageable.
After all, like them, a server provider is not a professional in network security. It’s normal that they couldn’t withstand some hackers; the other customers would understand.
Vice Principal Joey saw the forum of F University cannot be accessed, and seemed to find a glimmer of hope. He disregarded his appearance, rolled out of the room and started making phone calls while running. Meanwhile, Vice
Principal Joey started reporting the event to the principal with a headache.
This is not a trivial matter any longer, the school must address it as soon as possible. Those videos hung on the forum for at least half an hour. Vice Principal Joey does not know if ordinary visitors could download them, but whether they could download or not, at least a third of the students at F University had seen these videos.
Even if they couldn’t download, these videos would find a way to be disseminated.
F University’s forum server and the school’s official website were shut down, and Finn touched his chin, thinking it should be enough. If such a big commotion does not attract the attention of the relevant authorities, he figured those network media should bash their heads in.
Once the online media gets involved, this would be a storm. However, Finn clearly underestimated some people’s capacity. In the beginning, Finn did not plan to proceed, but he has been following these events, constantly refreshing the webpages of major portals, wanting to see when the news would break.
What Finn did not expect was that the development of things did not go according to his plan. About an hour later, F University was the first to publish an announcement. The official website of F University could be accessed again, and an announcement was issued to the outside, informing that the school’s official website had been invaded.
Next, a company named Immortal Science and Technology also issued an announcement, stating that the company’s server had been hacked and some viruses had been spread. Then, some of the original websites that had reported this incident also updated another headline news.
They said that a new virus is spreading. The virus contained some pornographic films from Belmare Country. The faces of some of the lead characters in the films were crudely altered, then used to smear some decent and respectable educators at the school!
And like news, it was reproduced by several major portals. Although many students at F University knew the situation, they had no evidence, and more importantly, none of the female protagonists in the video jumped out to admit it. On the contrary, in the 103 videos released by Finn, the only one mentioned by name was a young female teacher at F University. This teacher flatly denied such things.
And because Finn pixelated the face of the female protagonist in the video, there was no way to verify the truth. The storm of this matter seemed to gradually fade, and Robert Thomp breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the school leaders and the people behind him severely reprimanded him and he might even have to leave his current post, he figured it’s a good thing as long as he doesn’t have to go to jail.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Robert Thomp began to ponder who had instigated this. The first people Robert Thomp thought of were the female students he had forced to sleep with him. However, Robert Thomp quickly ruled this out. Since these people did not plan to appeal at the time, and after such a long time, it’s even less likely that they would appeal or create such a situation.
Then it might only be other enemies, but Robert Thomp couldn’t think of any, even after pondering for a long time. However, when a name suddenly appeared in his mind, Robert Thomp was abruptly awakened.
Finn Lewis? Robert Thomp suddenly remembered that he had just got hold of a
discipline notice for Finn that very morning, and then this thing happened! How could it be such a coincidence! And besides, didn’t Finn come upon a sum of money? Once Robert Green proved the correct source of the money, it meant that the money definitely came from selling some technology.
Finn majors in computer science, so it must be some software. A good piece of software can sell for hundreds of thousands to even millions of dollars without exaggeration. If his computer skills are that good, it’s entirely possible for him to hack into the school forum! Thinking of this, Robert Thomp’s expression took on a menacing look! Damn it, once the matter is over and even if he is not in this position, he will get back at him!
What Robert Thomp did not expect was that he was very angry, but Finn was even more upset! Finn was almost furious! Although Finn didn’t know how things turned out this way, it was obvious that the forces behind Robert Thomp were at work. After flipping through Zero’s information again, after seeing that Robert Thomp had a good relationship with a big figure in the city, and it seemed there should be a huge amount of money exchanged between the two. Furthermore, this person behind him had a huge network of relationships. Finn then roughly understood what was going on.
But Finn didn’t care, he figured: “Okay, you guys are powerful and really want to cover up this scandal, right? Well, let’s see if your power is greater or my power is greater!”
“Zero, I ask you, if I use your access once, what is the scope? How should I understand that?” Finn quickly asked.
“The utilization of my access has a degree limit. It’s impossible to use my full power, of course, I will inform you when you have reached your level of use.” Zero replied very succinctly.
“Okay, so you’re saying I haven’t used up this right yet, right?” Finn asked very directly.
