Chapter 223 He Was Fired
"Good day to you ladies and gentlemen, I\'m your host today, Zachary, and I would like to welcome you BNL, BREAKING NEWS LIVE. To get straight to the point, I would like to talk about something that has never happened before happening, the first in history of our country."
"For the first time ever, there has been a hacking of all the servers of the media platforms. It doesn\'t matter if it is a social media platform or a news platform. All of them have been hacked by someone we have no information about."
"The hacker managed to bypass all those that were working as cyber security for all the companies that were hacked. The most surprising thing is that, even after several experts joined hands to look into the situation, there were no results at all although several hours have already gone by."
"They have been trying to get the servers back. But surprisingly, all the servers were back in their control. This was definitely not due to their efforts but because the hacker was already done with whatever he or she wanted the servers for."
"But, the most surprising thing was the fact that the hacker didn\'t need the servers for something big, it was simply to pass information about a certain small canned food company."
"Don\'t misunderstand folks, the information that has been passed was nothing but good or an advertisement. Whatever information that was passed was concerning how the company wasn\'t following several protocols that needed to be followed when running a canned foods company."
"To be precise, this food company is called Tin Preservationists. A weird name indeed. But still, this small company has been working for over a decade now. And according to the information that was left on the servers of various platforms that were hacked, this company has been doing things the wrong way."
"It was a company that dealt with beef canning. But now, instead of beef, they have been mixing beef together with meet from other animals. There was enough evidence that pointed towards the fact that the meat that was added to beef was from donkeys, dogs and surprisingly, even cats weren\'t spared from the menu."
"There had been several complaints raised by the consumers about how different the meat tasted from the normal beef or how the structure of the bones didn\'t match that of cows."
"But, once all these reports reached those that were in charge of regulating the food industry, they somehow disappeared in a thin air. The complaints kept on coming in but no action was taken against the company as it continued operating normally."
"But now, there have been several pieces of evidence that have been presented to us through the hacker. Perhaps even this hacker ate that meat and as a result, he or she wanted the company to take responsibility of feeding him the meat that didn\'t belong to a herbivore.
All the same, the police have already began doing their investigation about this. The company\'s operations have been halted till the investigation is completed.
As for the hacker, the experts have already contacted the cyber police to help them in getting who was behind the hacking. And although the hacker didn\'t do anything negative to the servers other than simply posting the information, none of the top management of the companies hacked would want a repetition of what happened here in the future to happen again.
Oh, right, I\'m sure that some of you didn\'t like my long stories. So, you can go ahead and look for the information in all social media platforms. Somehow, the hacker managed to stick all the information that I have informed you about on the front page.
As long as you open the apps on the phones or your browsers on your PCs, you should be able to see all of that, unless you are blind of course.
That\'s it for today\'s breaking news, I was your host today, Zachary. Let\'s meet again when another interesting story arises. Goodbye then!"
That was how it was. From all the news channels all over Azima. They were all talking about the same incident. They were all talking about the Tin Preservationists. And what\'s more was that, they repeated the breaking news every single hour.
Jack who was seated in his villa watched the news calmly. Beside him, Celine was watching the TV with her mouth agape. She couldn\'t believe what she was seeing at that moment. This was what she defined as the world going crazy.
With the remote in her hand, she tried changing the channels but no matter what she did, she found the very same piece of news. Even if there was no broadcasting by the presenters, there were several lines that were running just below the screen, giving the same news as the one that she was watching.
"Jack, are you the one behind all of this?" Celine turned her gaze towards Jack as she questioned. Although she really didn\'t want to, she had no choice but to doubt Jack. That was because she knew that this Tin Preservationists was the company that belonged to Collins family.
She didn\'t need to relate anything else for her to know that was the work in the hands of Jack. After all, it was only Jack that whom Collins had messed with through her, and had the ability to make all those news channels continue presenting the same piece of news over and over again for a whole week.
Yes, it had already been a week since Jack decide to take action against Collins\' family. He had hacked several platforms and posted all the information that he had gotten from the research that he had done. Then, he had made sure to hold the servers in his control for about two hours before returning the control back to them.
Though the servers were under his control at that time, he had made sure not to affect anything that was related to the performance of the platforms other than the news that he had wanted them to know.
The reason as to why he had held onto the servers for long as well as allowed them to notice was to simply inform them that his skills were far beyond that of their experts. In this way, the message that he had left them would be carried out to the latter.
He had informed them that they would have to make sure that the information he had left was spread. And, this was to be repeated over and over again until he thought that it was enough. If they failed to do that, he would make them lose profits for every day that they didn\'t do as he said.
Although it might seem a little over the top to ruin the reputation of a small company by spreading all the negative information all over the country, he himself had plans for the future. He didn\'t do things blindly. Since he was intent on abusing the system, he had to make sure that he did it well.
Jack gazed at Celine who was looking at him. Currently, she was wearing a loose t-shirt. Her hair was damp as she had just come back from taking a shower. During this past week, the training schedule that he had arranged for her had already began taking effect.
He had been training her for the past seven days. Katelyn had somehow allowed Celine to be free from the company as long as it was related to her training under him. And he had to agree that Celine had a knack for fighting.
Even though she had only trained for a week, her improvement was quite big. It could easily match the soldiers who had been training the combat techniques for a whole month. But still, this wasn\'t enough. Although she was now able to easily control her strength, in that she could deal with up to five low level crooks at once, if she met with someone who knew how to fight before and had taken the body strengthening solution, she would be beaten up.
"You look beautiful." Jack stated with a smile on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Celine asked in a displeased tone. Though, the faint blush on her face stated that she was definitely happy with the compliment.
"I was saying that you look beautiful. Especially when…" Jack who wanted to explain further was cut off by Celine who threw the remote at his face. Of course Jack simply grabbed the remote before it got damaged from hitting him.
"Jack, I asked, are you the one who\'s behind all the madness that has been going on throughout the week?" Celine questioned again.
"Who else do you think can do such a thing?" Jack didn\'t try denying this as he asked with a smile on his face. He was definitely proud about what he had done.
"I understand that you are trying to get back at Collins and his family for what they did. But, don\'t you think that you are going a little overboard?" Celine wasn\'t surprised when Jack confirmed that he was the one behind this as she had already made such a guess before.
"Overboard? Not at all. In fact, this is just the beginning for them. There\'s still a lot more waiting for them." Jack shook his head as he responded.
Celine knew that he had just misunderstood her. So, she corrected herself. "I didn\'t mean overboard to them. I meant overboard on the ones that are running the tv channels as well as the other media platforms."
Hearing her words, Jack shook his head as he replied, "There\'s noting overboard here at all my dear. These platforms have all been selfish at some point. So, even if I become selfish and use them for my own purpose, I don\'t feel guilty at all. Furthermore, I\'m not affecting them that much to give the news that only needs a minute or two to pass."
"But, they have been doing this every day." Celine stated.
"A few minutes a day, which equals to a few minutes a day if you add all the intervals that are involved. But, there is no difference between this and the advertisements that they show to us during their commercial breaks." Jack disagreed.
"But, the news anchors that are reporting the same thing over and over again, don\'t you think that you are making things hard for them?" Celine questioned.
"That is false because the ones that you have been watching were recorded and not live at all." Jack shook his head.
"How do you even know that when you are here?" Celine asked doubtfully.
"You see, the news anchor just a moment ago, he was fired seven days ago. But, he\'s still broadcasting live." Jack stated with a smile.
