The fierce assault had alarmed the highest-ranking official at the Huo Research Institute.
He rushed to the security department, and with a grave expression, grabbed a technician and asked urgently, "What exactly happened? Why would we be attacked out of the blue? And are you all useless? The enemy has breached our entire defense in less than ten minutes. At this rate, all the data in our database will be destroyed!"
Even the slightest destruction of the information in the database would be a fatal blow to the Huo Research Institute.
The technician, in sheer panic, replied, "We are fighting back with all our might, but the virus from the attacker is too formidable. I've never seen such an aggressive virus; with our current technology, we simply can't fend off their attack."
"What?" The responsible officer couldn't believe it. There were plenty of experts under Huo's command, some internationally renowned hackers; and they couldn't withstand the attack?
