When Kostan Industry's computer server is hacked, Logan is requested to find the culprit, but when things prove too much for him he enlists an extreme hacker from his past.
Josef got the call at 4 am from his IT Management.
"Mr. Kostan, everything is frozen! And when I say everything I mean everything! Security, payroll the whole thing" He said in a scared voice. "I've never seen anything like this before and anything we try will unleash a virus that will wipe out everything connected to the servers"
"I thought we had installed firewalls to protect everything?" Josef yelled.
"We did sir. State of the art everything. Whoever this was, they manged to hack into all of our firewall protection!" He said. He could tell that Josef was going to fire him, even though none of this was his fault. Hackers will always find a way if they're very motivated to do so and this hacker wanted to cripple Kostan Industries.
Brian was at the office a half hour after the call to Josef. Brian met with the IT Department and saw that this was not a matter of fault on their part. They were up against someone with phenomenal computer programming and hacking skills. There had been no response for what had been done so it was either an accident or the person responsible wanted something in particular and if that was the case, all they could do was wait.
Bridgett was trying to calm Josef down, but having no such luck.
"Can't you see who's doing this?" He asked. She concentrated hard, closing her eyes trying hard to see anything.
"I see hands on a keyboard typing really fast, but no face or location.......the hands are small and dainty, so you're most likely going to find a woman is responsible" Bridgett said opening her eyes. "I think you should pay Darrian a call" She said finally.
"I'm going to have to close every Kostan office!" Josef said picking up his phone to make the call.
News reports were going out about catastrophic results to the Dow and NSDAQ with Kostan Industries being shut down and repercussions were felt all over the world.
Ted and Sam worked non stop trying to find any evidence left behind by the hacker but could find none.
"This guy is amazing!" Sam said as she continued to type. "I mean if all hacks were like this, we'd be out of job for real!" She said leaning back in her chair and rubbing her eyes.
"I know! The only person good enough to pull something like this off would be Logan and I know he's not responsible for it!" Ted said.
Logan was as always in his basement playing Call of Duty and laughing at how lame the other players were. "It's like shooting ducks in a barrel" Logan said under his breath when he heard his buzzer ring and saw it was Josef Kostan and Brian. "Hey! Did you swing by to watch me destroy 3 separate teams simultaneously?" He said with a smile.
"He hasn't heard" Brian said again finding Logan's way of not knowing anything about what was going on in the world surprising. Logan looked up from his game.
"Heard what?" He asked.
"Kostan Industries was hacked. All the offices are closed. Everything is frozen and all the attempts that IT tried almost put us at risk of a virus" Josef said.
"What did Ted and Sam say?" Logan asked.
"Sam said to tell you that it was cleanest she had ever seen and their were no tracers" Brian said. "I'm hoping you know what she's talking about"
"Look, hacking is like fingerprints and all hackers leave one. A tell sign that leads you right back to them. Now sometimes a really smart hacker will intentionally leave a whole mess of tells and have you running all over town trying to find who was behind it, but even leading people on a wild goose chase will leave tracers to your location, so Sam saying she didn't find any, tells me that whoever did this is a top shelf professional. And people that good are from 3 locations. Russia, China and America"
"Great!" Josef said sarcastically throwing up his hands.
"It's not as hopeless as it sounds. If you know where the hackers commune (which I do) it's easy to break the information down. So give me an hour, then I can get started on breaking that information down to lead me where this guy is" Logan said with a smile loving a challenge.
"Bridgett said it looked to be a woman" Josef said remembering what Bridgett had seen.
"That's even better! All female hackers will leave a definite trail even when they're trying hard not to" Logan said getting to work. He stopped and looked at Josef. Josef rolled his eyes and reached in his pocket for his wallet. He handed Logan $500.00.
"Thanks! I'll call you in an hour" Logan said going back to his computer.
"So what do people do when they're not working?" Josef asked.
"You're not asking me are you?" Brian said in surprise.
"I guess not." Josef joked looking around. "Well, I'm guessing I should give a press conference" Josef said finally.
"I'll help you with that" Brian said glad to have something to do.
Logan started by trying the obvious procedures. He knew right off the bat they would fail, but in how they failed is where you start picking up the trail. And his first trick was through the back door, which he had set up for Josef and when he saw that that had been compromised as well, he knew what he try next. And after the first hour, this hacker had him running in circles. Logan was stumped. For first time ever!! He called Josef immediately.
"Josef, this girl is beyond good. So far all I got was general location and that's Presidio Parkland, which is the upper peninsula of San Francisco, but any move I try make to will cause a white out virus which can strip everything from your system. She kind of has me in chokehold." Logan said with frustration.
"Why would a person even do this? Why hasn't she made a demand or something?"
"Josef, you gotta understand that most hackers aren't in this for money. They're just trying their skills to see how good they can become. Your company means nothing to them" Logan explained.
"Logan, I'm giving you the green light to find this woman and take her down!" Josef said.
Logan knew before he hit the brick wall that he would call her, but he didn't like calling her. And she would be expensive.......but Josef said he was giving him the green light...."Crap!" Logan said typing the email and pressing send before he could change his mind. Within 10 minutes he received a response.
"What do you want" The message from librarian_7 read.
"I need your help. It's serious" Logan typed.
"It must be or you wouldn't have contacted me. Are you at the same place?" The message read.
"Yeah" Logan typed.
"Be there in 20 minutes"
Logan sighed. He really did not like working with her.
