The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

This was my first time coming to Zhou Yang's office. When I arrived on the second floor, I heard the "buzzing" sound of machines running as soon as I got out of the elevator.

Looking around, there is actually a huge computer room below!

Walking in this huge computer room, I felt an unprecedented shock.

There are rows of huge racks, each row is full of servers, with green and red lights flashing on them, like stars in the night sky, giving this underground space a sci-fi atmosphere.

These racks, like a group of silent giants, stand there coldly, running constantly and making a low buzzing sound.

The sound was like endless electricity flowing through it, which was awe-inspiring.

The air in the computer room is filled with the unique smell of computer operation, a mixed smell of metal and plastic, and a smell that I can't describe, but that feels oppressive.

Walking through rows of servers, the fear in my heart deepened with every step I took.

These machines are devouring countless people's lives and wealth every day.

This place is like the heart of the park, beating every second and driving the huge network of fraud every second.

Now I finally understand Zhou Yang’s true identity!

He is not from the technical department at all, but a maintenance staff member of the park's computer room.

I was thinking before, as a person from the technical department, why didn't he stay in the technical department building instead of in the main building?

Now I finally understand!

But it also illustrates one point. Even though he is just a technician, his actual status should be quite high.

At least on Hu Laosan's side, he is definitely an important figure.

Otherwise, the computer room would not be managed by him.

At the end, a small open office appeared in front of me.

This office is about [-] square meters, not luxurious, but full of modernity.

The space inside is divided just right by the careful layout, with both open work areas and independent private spaces.

The walls of the office are covered with light blue wallpaper, giving a refreshing and quiet feeling.

There are several abstract paintings with smooth lines hanging on the wall. I don’t know what they represent, but they seem to have an air of future technology.

In the center of the office is an oversized workbench, which is filled with various computers and electronic equipment. There is also a huge display screen next to it, which is displaying some complex data charts.

I saw Zhou Yang sitting there, his brows furrowed, the mouse on his hand moving quickly, and typing on the keyboard from time to time.

On the wall behind him, there was a huge blackboard filled with various codes and diagrams, which looked like a chaotic painting.

In the corner of the office, there is a simple seating area, a sofa, a coffee table, a small refrigerator, and an electric kettle.

It seems that Zhou Yang should often work overtime here, or that he lives here.

Sensing my arrival, Zhou Yang put down his work, stood up and pointed to the sofa in the rest area: "Sit."

I nodded, sat on the sofa, and looked around: "Are you alone here?"

He poured me a glass of water, then sat across from me, took out a cigarette and handed it to me: "That's enough for one person."

I smiled and took the cigarette, said "thank you", then lit it and started smoking.

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

I blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Gong Zhou, I want to learn programming from you."

"Learn programming?" He frowned in surprise, "What do you want to learn programming for?"

"I feel that the marketing department is not suitable for me. I would like to transfer to the technical department in the future."

He pursed his lips and said, "What do you want to do in the technical department?"

"Not ready yet……"

"Have you had any programming experience before?"

"No, I just worked as a network administrator for a while."

"What degree do you have?"

"the University."

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, "What major do you study?"

"finance."

Zhou Yang leaned on the sofa, slowly took a puff of cigarette and said: "I am basically in charge of the hardware in the park. The software is divided into many departments, but there are roughly two categories. One is programming, which is responsible for writing Code. The other type is data theft..."

At this point, he paused: "In which direction do you want to develop?"

I thought for a moment and asked: "What is data theft for? Hackers?"

Zhou Yang laughed sarcastically and said: "How can there be so many hackers? There are only two or three people in the park who can be called hackers. As for the others, they are all doing some basic crawlers and extracting some personal information and transaction data. To put it bluntly, that's it. A big data analyst.”

I frowned, "What's the use of analyzing these?"

Zhou Yang raised his hand and scratched his head, with a helpless expression on his face: "Think about it, if you don't have an accurate target, how can you improve the success rate of fraud? This requires big data analysis to help. They will scrape the data from the Internet The possible targets of fraud are analyzed and then compiled into information.”

After hearing this, I finally understood, that is to say, this is how the customer information of He Keliang came from!

"What about writing code?" I asked tentatively.

Zhou Yang smiled: "That's even simpler. People who write code are mainly responsible for the development and maintenance of the park's software. For example, the dial-up system and management system we use every day were all developed by them."

"Which one do you think I should do?" I asked.

Zhou Yang glanced at me and smiled slightly, "You have to decide this yourself. It depends on which one you are more interested in."

"Which area are you more proficient in, Zhou Gong?"

He smiled: "I'm proficient in everything."

I was slightly stunned and found that when he said this, his eyes were full of confidence.

"What do I need to learn if I want to be a hacker?" I asked.

“Then you’ll learn a lot.”

"Zhou Gong, are you willing to teach me?"

"Teach you?" He smiled, "What are the benefits?"

I was stunned by his question, thought about it and said, "What benefits do you want?"

"You can't give me what I want." He waved his hand and said, "Wanting to become a hacker is not a temporary thing. If you really want to learn, I will recommend a few books to you. You can do it yourself in your free time. Research and ask me if you encounter something you don’t understand, but..."

"But what?"

He said with a half-smile: "But my charges are not cheap. One thousand yuan per question. Remember to bring enough money before you come to me in the future."

"No problem!" I agreed directly.

What can money do in the park?

It's nothing more than eating and drinking, or using it to gamble, go to KTV, or go to the bathing center.

Rather than spending money on these places to learn things, I think it is more cost-effective!

And if I have a good relationship with Zhou Yang, there will definitely be only benefits and no disadvantages for me in the future.
