The atmosphere lightened considerably.
Chen Yu whispered an apology, "I'm sorry, Tian'er. We didn't mean to doubt you..."
Lin Bing interrupted her with a smile, "I know, you were just worried."
"Don't worry, I've already talked to the school's psychologist and I'm learning about Cybersecurity Standards."
As she spoke, she showed us a new Security Protection App she had developed herself.
"This is for you guys to use. It can monitor abnormal access in real-time and is better than anything on the market."
Seeing her sincere demeanor, our previous doubts and fears dissipated significantly.
The four of us chatted for a while in the video call, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
After last night's "prank incident" was peacefully resolved, the three of us were in good spirits.
Chen Yu even suggested, "Hey, it's still early. Should we invite Lin Bing to have breakfast together and form a study group?"
I was just about to agree when I noticed that Du Ran's expression was a bit off.
She was holding her phone, her brow furrowed, and her fingers were rapidly swiping across the screen as if she were looking at something important.
"Du Ran, what are you looking at..."
Before I could finish my question, the loudspeaker outside the dormitory suddenly blared to life!
It wasn't the usual music broadcast; it was an urgent announcement crackling with static—
"Emergency Safety Bulletin! A serious Data Breach Incident has occurred again! All students must immediately check their personal accounts..."
The voice on the broadcast continued, but the three of us had already frozen in place.
Another... another person is dead?
No, that's not right; another person has been subjected to Digital Erasure!
The emergency announcement echoed repeatedly across the campus.
This time, the victim was a Brother from the Finance Department.
It was said that all his Bank Accounts and Stock Funds were wiped clean overnight.
Even worse, his Identity Information was stolen, and he had taken out a Large Sum from several Online Lending Platforms.
He was still sleeping in his dormitory, yet his Credit Report had already turned to ash.
The news spread like wildfire through various groups.
The Network Security Office quickly released a preliminary report.
This attack was even more sophisticated than the case involving the Broadcasting Department student.
The attacker not only bypassed bank-level security defenses but also broke through the two-factor authentication, which requires both a password and a mobile verification code.
This operation was incredibly professional.
It was far beyond what an average student could pull off.
Returning to the dormitory, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
Du Ran kept staring at her phone screen, her fingers tapping and poking at it, seemingly engrossed in something.
Chen Yu's face turned pale as she whispered, "I... I know that guy from the Finance Department..."
Both Du Ran and I turned to look at her.
"His dad is the CEO of Xinghai Technology."
"Lin Bing applied for an internship at Xinghai Technology before and got rejected."
Damn!
This information is a bit overwhelming.
I instinctively reached for my phone.
"Then... should we ask Lin Bing...?"
It’s good to check in, whether to show concern or to clear our suspicions; we have to ask, right?
"Don't!" Du Ran suddenly pressed my hand down, his gaze sharp. "Don't contact her!"
"Why?"
Du Ran didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his laptop around, revealing a screen filled with dense lines of code analysis reports.
"Take a look at this."
"This is the result of my analysis on the 'Security Software' Lin Bing gave us yesterday."
I leaned in closer, and Chen Yu also peered over.
The conclusion of the report was straightforward: that so-called Security Software was nothing but a Trojan!
On the surface, it seemed harmless and even had some protective functions, but behind the scenes, it was frantically collecting all the data from our phones! Browsing history, keyboard inputs, file access... nothing was spared!
A chill surged from the soles of my feet straight to the crown of my head.
"She... she gave us... a virus?" Chen Yu's voice trembled.
Du Ran's face turned ashen.
"Do you remember what Lin Bing said about that dream?"
"She mentioned dreaming about... Reorganizing Memory Fragments."
"This time, the data from that guy in the Finance Department, the report from the Network Security Office said it didn't seem like it was deleted; rather, it was... completely scrambled and then reassembled in a strange way."
"It’s like... someone is playing with a puzzle, but the pieces are a person's digital identity."
Reorganizing Memory Fragments...
Data being restructured...
Lin Bing's smug little smile...
And that damned Security Software she gave us...
