Chapter 97: The Worth of a Billion Big Boss, My Scalp Is Numb (Ch 97)

“The opening effect is good, so I’ll continue to scare them.” Su Yang thought to himself.

Continue to “play” a mysterious and powerful hacker, a hacker who defies authority.

Let these big guys taste the feeling of being ignored.

No matter whether it is Wang Yun or Ma Xiaoteng, they are always the center of attention wherever they go. They have never encountered anything like today, where someone spoke to them so rudely.

“I’ve already said that if you make a hacker unhappy, the consequences will be serious. You must watch carefully and don’t blink.” Su Yang said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and pressed the enter key.

“This is going to cause trouble!”

“What are you going to do now?”

“Are you trying to control some big shot’s phone again?”

…

The guests at the scene all widened their eyes.

Su Yang pressed the Enter key.

The next second——

“Beep!”

“Beep, beep, beep!”

“Beep, beep, beep!”

In the conference hall, everyone’s cell phones rang at the same time!

Not only that, everyone’s phone wallpaper was changed to the same photo at the same time: a red mask, a red hood, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

“Fuck!”

“Oh my god!”

“Is your phone like this, too?”

“Mine too!”

“Fuck everyone’s cell phones, they are all controlled!”

…

Exclamations rang out one after another.

This made many guests feel numb on their scalps.

Su Yang suppressed his smile and turned his gaze towards the big man in the front row.

The big guys just looked at each other.

Some of them turned off their phones in panic.

Their reactions are no different from those of ordinary people.

“Pa pa pa!” Su Yang clapped his hands.

The applause attracted everyone’s attention.

“Everyone, I just want some applause. This request should not be too much, right?” Su Yang’s voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

“Clap, clap, clap!” This time, there was finally applause.

At first there was sparse applause, then the applause gradually grew louder and louder, and finally gathered into thunderous applause that echoed throughout the entire venue.

That’s right.

“Thank you all for your applause. With the applause, I feel much better. Haha…” Su Yang’s laughter, after being processed by the voice changer, sounded particularly strange.

In the eyes of the guests on the scene, he is just a weirdo, full of mystery.

This is also consistent with the public’s perception of hackers. In the eyes of most people, hackers are a group of mysterious people who pursue the pinnacle of technology.

Su Yang laughed a few times and said, “OK, don’t panic, I’m just doing a little interaction with you at the beginning. You must be curious about how I control your phones, right?”

The big guys in the front row fell silent. They naturally wanted to know the answer.

Su Yang’s move shocked these knowledgeable bosses, who had never experienced such a thing.

“Actually, it’s very simple. When entering the venue, you all scanned the QR code at the entrance to sign in, and I implanted a Trojan virus in the sign-in program one day in advance.” Su Yang explained.

So that’s how it is.

No wonder everyone’s cell phones are controlled.

Who would have thought that the check-in procedure for an Internet conference would be implanted with a Trojan virus?

…

“I guess, having said that, the organizer must be regretting inviting me to attend this conference, right?” Su Yang laughed.

The atmosphere at the scene became subtle.

Indeed, the theme of this conference was network security, but as a result, such a huge mistake occurred – the sign-in process was implanted with a Trojan virus by a hacker, and the organizer was completely unaware!

The organizer received a heavy slap in the face.

“However, this is also a good warning for everyone. If you experience it yourself, the impression will be more profound.” Su Yang continued, “Okay, don’t worry. While I’m talking, the Trojan virus has been automatically deleted. Don’t worry about your information being leaked.”

“Pah, pah, pah!”

There was warm applause at the scene.

This time, the applause was spontaneous.

As Su Yang said, letting everyone here experience a cybersecurity incident personally is much more effective than any preaching.

Every year, the Internet Conference calls on the whole society to pay attention to network security, but not many people really care. Only by experiencing it personally can you understand that network security concerns everyone.

The applause gradually died down.

There was an extra piece of paper in Su Yang’s hand.

“Okay, the interactive session is over. Next, I will talk about the real topic of my speech.” Su Yang said, “Please look at the big screen.”

On the big screen, the theme of Su Yang’s speech appeared: “Security and Challenges in the Era of Artificial Intelligence — Speaker LittleBoy”

“Today, all the people present are representatives of Internet giants. It can be said that half of our country’s Internet industry is gathered here. In recent years, artificial intelligence has developed rapidly, especially the birth of ChatGPT, which has made generative artificial intelligence the hottest technology of this era. All Internet giants are betting on the generative artificial intelligence track. However, while technology brings convenience, it is also accompanied by crises…”

Su Yang started his speech, then paused and looked at the guests in the audience. “I believe you have heard a lot of speeches like this. I prefer live demonstrations.”

“At present, especially in the past two years, there are more and more cases of fraud using artificial intelligence.”

Su Yang’s gaze fell on a man with a flat head, about forty years old, sitting on the right side of the front row. He was Xie Dong, the boss of Jingdong Group.

“Hello, Mr. Xie from Jingdong Group.” Su Yang called out his name and continued, “I want to use your video and voice to synthesize a voice, then call your assistant and demonstrate on the spot how to use artificial intelligence technology to complete a fraud. Do you think it’s okay?”

The guests at the scene shifted their attention to Xie Dong.

Xie Dong hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to show his agreement.

“Thank you, Mr. Xie.” Su Yang said, “Please look at the big screen. I will now demonstrate how to use artificial intelligence to create a virtual ‘Xie Dong’.”

A software interface appeared on the big screen, and the software name was blurred out.

“This is an open source artificial intelligence synthesis software I use.” Su Yang explained, “The first step is to synthesize Mr. Xie’s voice. Let’s first find a video of Mr. Xie on the Internet.”

Su Yang opened the browser, typed “Xie Dong” into the search engine, and clicked search.

Soon, many videos about Xie Dong were found.

Su Yang clicked on a video at random.

“Since I was a child, I have lacked a sense of security…” In the video, Xie Dong is being interviewed by CCTV.

This video is more than a minute long.
