Desperate Hacker

Chapter 94 Market Situation
On the dark web, Loulan is a website where hackers exchange techniques with each other.

At this time, only a few users were visiting this website, but at this moment, a post appeared on the BBS.

"We are the hacker group Peaker. We announce that we have successfully taken control of Colonial's oil management system. Our request is that Colonial must donate BTC worth $1 million within a week. Give it to cancer research institutions, otherwise, you will bear the consequences..."

"Look! Someone has issued an attack statement!"

"Where does this stupidity come from? I've never seen this ID on this forum before!"

"A foreign hacker organization?"

"Idiot, have you ever seen any foreign hacker organization come to the Chinese darknet website to publish information?"

"Look, they use traditional Chinese characters. Maybe they are from Daiwan?"

"What kind of company is Colonial? I've never heard of it at all. If it kills IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, SpaceX or the like, I think it's worth coming here to brag about it!"

"A few fools read a few hacker books and downloaded a few attack software? They really thought they were awesome..."

……

The atmosphere of domestic forums is like this, just like some novel forums.

Obviously, he doesn’t even know the opponent’s level, he just sprays wildly.

But the ones who complain the most in forums or comment circles are often the real ones.

In this way, Chen Qingfeng and Zhao Changan looked at the cynicism in the comments.I didn't know what to do for a while.

To be honest, such a statement should have been published on a foreign website.

But the English of the two of them has not yet reached the point where they can communicate with foreigners without any obstacles.

Chen Qingfeng's loose English is afraid that after he writes it, others may guess that he is a person whose native language is not English, or a person who is not proficient in English education.

This is tantamount to helping the opponent narrow the scope of the investigation.

Therefore, Chen Qingfeng could only find a Chinese website.

Anyway, he only needs to use traditional Chinese characters. If the opponent is smart enough, he should be suspected of being a Southeast Asian Chinese or a person from Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

In short, Chen Qingfeng feels that this can better confuse his opponents!
So he chose to publish his attack statement on the dark web, a relatively well-known hacker forum.

As for why the other party was asked to donate BTC worth $1500 million to cancer institutions.

The reason is also very simple, because since an exchange founded by a Chinese Canadian moved to Singapore, there have been several incidents of BTC being lost and embezzled.

Of course Chen Qingfeng knew what he had done. He did not trust those exchanges and would not help the FBI or CIA find his whereabouts.

Anyway, this time he relied on nothing else to make money, but the income from the futures market.Therefore, even if the money falls into his hands, he will not take it because he has no way to prove to the banking system that these are his legitimate income.

Instead of worrying about holding a sum of money that does not belong to you, it is better to make money in the futures market safely.

Chen Qingfeng estimated that if he succeeded this time, he would be considered a person with a small net worth.By then there should be no need to worry about the subsequent treatment costs!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingfeng and Zhao Changan worked together to make such a statement.However, they don't know when this statement will attract the attention of other masters in the hacker community.

……

At this time, Zhao Changan stared at the comments on the screen, all of which were sarcastic and sarcastic.

Chen Qingfeng looked at the price chart of Texas Intermediate Oil on the screen.

By now, Chen Qingfeng was sure that he had succeeded in the attack, but the price of the oil market did not fluctuate as he expected.

Several times he couldn't help but secretly sent messages to Tawang.

However, Tawang used code words every time to signal him to calm down.In fact, Tawang is also very nervous now.

The funds traded in the international oil market are like a vast ocean.The $200 million they had was not even a drop of money, let alone a 20-fold leverage.The price range that they can bear is only a fluctuation of more than ten cents. Once it falls below the closing line, all the money in their hands will be lost.And now the price in the oil market is still falling slowly, and is about to fall to its closing line.

Tawang would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous at this time.

His forehead was covered with sweat, and he held the mouse tightly with his hands.I saw that the funds in my account had dropped by more than 100 million, and now I only had a few hundred thousand dollars left of the 200 million US dollars.

"Bastard, bastard! Why is there no news yet? Bastard..."

Tawang was very anxious, and suddenly a message popped up on the screen.

Tawang glanced at it casually, and then quickly clicked on the message with the mouse.

“A Mobil Oil refinery near Boston announced that it may face a production shutdown due to supply issues!”

“Chevron’s Kentucky refinery announces it may reduce production due to supply issues!”

……

Suddenly more and more messages popped up on the screen.

Oil prices, which were still falling slowly, are slowly beginning to rise.

Tawang knew the opportunity had come.

There are always some funds that will get the news before all traders, and then enter the market in advance.

In just a moment, Tawang saw a fundamental reversal of buying and selling orders, and large orders began to enter the market to sweep up goods and raise prices!Tawang's originally frowning and extremely nervous expression suddenly turned into a smile.

He clenched his hands and looked at the rising prices. The original loss warning line slowly began to stabilize, and then finally crossed the profit and loss line and started to make profits!

"come on!"

However, at this time, other people's seats in the trading floor were in chaos.Some people quickly cut their losses and started to open long positions.

Tawang looked at the busy scene of people around him, his eyes constantly staring at the price range on the screen.

……

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad.

The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, who was listening to a report in the conference room, had just finished the meeting when he saw a group of subordinates walking towards him.

"Mr. Minister, I have a very urgent matter to report to you!"

"What's wrong? Is this the White House calling?"

“Has Colonial’s oil pipeline system been hacked?”

The minister frowned and took a few minutes to understand what the other party meant.

Then he asked with the last bit of luck in his heart:
"Is it an emergency?"

"We are already prepared and may need to release part of our strategic reserves of crude oil!"

"what?"
