Chapter 003
At nine o’clock in the morning, it is the time when the US stock market opens, as the world’s largest and most professional stock trading market.
In the US stock market, the myth of wealth plays out every day.
Every day a millionaire is born.
After the stock opens, the broader market rises rapidly, and countless traders are at their posts, staring at the screen in front of them, while ready to buy or sell at any time.
The United States is now the world’s largest economy, and many people’s wealth is stored in the stock market.
Therefore, the stock market is the life of many Americans.
Suddenly, a trader suddenly noticed that on his screen, a line of code flashed by, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but found nothing.
It seems that the abnormality just now is just an illusion he had just had.
“Is it because I slept too late last night?”
Traders are a little confused.
However, the next scene made the trader directly widen his eyes.
Because the stock he operated before began to fall off a cliff as if it had been cut off by someone.
“Five percent.”
“Fifteen percent.”
“Thirty percent.”
“Fifty percent!”
That stock, like a free fall, went all the way down.
The voices in the exchange gradually became noisy, and then directly began to boil over the sky.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is this stock falling?”
“, is there something wrong with the country?”
“The downward momentum can’t be stopped!”
“The stock I operate has fallen by 60 percent!”
…………
The exchange was filled with desperate cries from traders.
“Head of Krent!”
In an office on the NASDAQ in the United States, the office of the head of Krent was pushed away, and then an anxious face appeared.
“Head Krent, we’re in big trouble.”
The staff said with a look of despair.
“Now all stocks are falling, which has never been the case, not even during the Great Depression.”
“Our technicians are urgently troubleshooting the issue and find… Found…”
Speaking of which, the staff was a little hesitant.
“Found what?”
Krent felt that his heart attack was about to occur at this time, and hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from his desk and poured it into his final.
“We were attacked, it was the system, causing the stock to fall!”
The staff was heartbroken.
“Bang!”
Krent just stood up and sat directly on the ground.
“What are you?”
Krent asked incredulously.
The NASDAQ trading system is the most advanced trading system in the world, and it is also a trading system that spends a lot of money on protection.
All the data is stored on separate servers, and no one has ever said that anyone can break into the Nasdaq’s trading service system.
Krent immediately came to the server room, and at this time several network security experts controlled the computer with solemn faces.
These are all cybersecurity experts hired at great expense by Nasdaq who have fought back against intrusions no longer than once.
“What’s going on?”
Krent came up and said anxiously.
“Head, we don’t know.”
At this time, a person was frantically tapping on the keyboard in his hand, and then said with a desperate face.
I had never seen such an attack, and the other party used pure 0s and 1s.
Then, through binary decompilation, the attack code is formed.
This kind of code is close to the essence of machine code.
Their defensive tools and attack methods are simply vulnerable to this kind of code.
“!”
One person hit his keyboard fiercely, and the computers they had controlled had been completely controlled by the other party.
Countless codes shone on it, stimulating Krent’s heart.
For a moment, Krent felt a tingling pain in his chest.
“Head, now the price of all stocks has been cut by 50%, and our phone is about to burst.”
“People from the Superintendency Bureau, let you go.”
At this time, a staff member hurriedly ran in, and then said with a desperate face.
He also has money in the stock market, and today he was able to shrink his savings by 50 percent in one day.
“Quick, announce an emergency stop.”
“Notify the major banks and block all transfer channels.”
Krent roared with all his strength.
At this time, in the trading floor of Darsdaq, there was already mourning.
“My money!”
“Fuck, why are all stocks falling.”
“My million, now it’s less than half a million.”
“Can’t sell it!”
“I’m going crazy!”
…………
Some people even fainted directly in the trading floor because they couldn’t accept it, making the already chaotic hall even more chaotic.
“Chief, we have tried all the methods, but in no way can we stop the market.”
“At the same time, large amounts of shorted funds began to be transferred out in large quantities, and there was nothing the bank could do about it.”
Five minutes later, a staff member reported with a look of despair.
“What did you say?”
Krent felt that he was a little out of breath, he gasped hard, and then said in a hoarse voice.
“Chief, we have nothing to do now.”
Although it was very desperate to know this sentence, the staff said it anyway.
Krent opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and then passed out directly to the ground.
“Head, the change funds have disappeared!”
Those were the last words Krent heard.
