"I remember that Dangkang already had a security operation and maintenance team, so why did it need to carry out a major upgrade?"

"..."

One of the insiders revealed:

"It is said that the response to this hacker attack was very adequate. The DDOS traffic attack did not achieve significant results. The first breakthrough was that some ordinary players' computers were captured by hackers, resulting in a large-scale collapse;

I guess the government wants to address both the symptoms and the root cause, so on the one hand it spends money to upgrade security issues at the server level, and on the other hand it spends money to cooperate in launching personal security plug-ins for players.

After all, there are rumors that in these 24 hours, the loss exceeded 300 million yuan, which is equal to the entire profit of the third quarter, and may be more;

So we discussed it and thought we all understood it.

in addition……

There are rumors in the security department that the coverage of personal security plug-ins for platform users will not be too large. It can also be seen from the statement that there is no intention to seize the market.

The characteristics of the rumored plug-in are that it is widely used, powerful, free, and can effectively solve personal game security problems. It is bundled on the platform and does not require installation.

However, it will take a certain amount of time to debug and then launch it after testing.”

"..."

This was the first round of small counterattacks launched by Fang Nian after discussing with Guan Qiuhe.

Dangkang can completely avoid hacking methods and directly fight back with an upright method - entering the field of network security.

Because of the deliberate publicity, it quickly made headlines on major portal websites.

Both players and netizens have doubts about this operation of Dangkang Games.

It just comes from the revelations from insiders and the summary of information from all aspects.

Dangkang Games is just trying to make up for it.

In this hacking incident, a lot of users suffered losses, and they also paid a lot of attention to computer security issues.

Especially since most gamers are male.

Natural pays more attention to the safety of electronic products.

So from this perspective, the comments on game forums express support and expectations for Dangkang Games’ actions.

Among them, some sensible people pointed out very pointedly:

“Although security guards like Red Factory Security Guard are free, they come bundled with too many things. If you think about it carefully, your computer speed will actually become much slower, and it’s difficult to uninstall them cleanly.

So if Dangkang Game Platform really launches security software in the form of plug-ins, I think it’s pretty good.”

"..."

After paying attention to the latest developments, Fang Nian closed the computer and muttered in a low voice: "I vaguely remember that a big conflict broke out in 3Q around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is it adding fuel to the fire now?"

"I didn't see any movement."

Then, Fang Nian looked at the calendar and saw that next Wednesday, the 22nd, would be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

It only lasted a few days.

It's really possible that it will be ahead of the original development of time and space.

After all, this hacking incident is indeed very troublesome.

Goose Factory also took the opportunity to express a statement that it would update the security suite that protects QQ.

The Hongyi Factory is even more open and fair in diverting traffic.

In short, Fang Nian is not in a hurry, he is just looking forward to the follow-up progress.

Although the crisis has basically passed, the huge impact on Dangkang Games cannot be directly reversed.

Earlier, Wen Ye briefly reported to Fang Nian over the phone the direct losses caused by hacker attacks on Dangkang Games over the past day or so.

"Mr. Fang, after statistical calculation, Dangkang invested more than 60 million in additional server operating expenses in response to the first round of hacker attacks;

The total direct economic losses were 90 million.

Indirect losses exceeded 200 million.

The budget for the follow-up compensation plan, including the ‘Dangkang Cup’ and subsequent investment in safety upgrades, will exceed 250 million.

The comprehensive loss is close to 550 million."

This number far exceeds the 300 million expected by the outside world.

Even though it was expected, Fang Nian was still heartbroken.

Wen Ye also reported on the aftermath of the hacking incident.

Basically consistent with Fang Nian's guess, there were strong human traces at the beginning, but then it got out of control.

after all……

Cyberspace is public.

The world is so big, there are always some people who just have nothing to do and want to make a big event.

Although most of the people who caused the big incident this time are wanted or recruited all over the world.

But the losses caused to Dangkang will not be reversed!

Fang Nian sighed: "The market is so big, alas..."

…………

At 8 a.m. China time on the 14th, Dangkang Games officially announced the news again.

"Our company has initially reached a memorandum of cooperation with Blizzard Entertainment and will distribute "StarCraft II" as an agent in China.

At that time, our company will also announce other game-related matters, so stay tuned.

Dangkang Games will always provide better game content and services to game players!"

Fang Nian learned the news two hours earlier than netizens.

He always gets up early.

Guan Qiuhe is really talented in business negotiation. This is something that cannot be learned or envied.

Fang Nian knew before that Guan Qiuhe went to Irvine, California, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Even though he knew that Blizzard's headquarters was in Irvine.

But after all, Blizzard has a long-term partner in the country, namely NetEase.

But in just two days, Guan Qiuhe won the cooperation from NetEase.

Apart from being awesome, Fang Nian can't find any other word to describe Mr. Guan.

Almost as soon as the news was made public, public opinion exploded.

"Damn it! Dang Kang is so awesome, he directly stole the work from Ding Sanshi! This wave, this wave directly took away the domestic distribution rights of StarCraft!"

"What I'm more curious about is, will the next version of World of Warcraft also be represented by Dangkang?"

"If I were Ding Sanshi, I might have already picked up the knife and gone to the World Financial Center at this time!"

"Am I the only one curious about what conditions Mr. Guan used to convince Blizzard?"

"Not much to say, Dang Kang is awesome, I thought it would take a long time for StarCraft 2 to be launched on the Chinese server!"

"..."

If nothing else, the players are still very excited.

You must know that in the past, foreign games often had to be launched in North America for a long time before they would have a Chinese version, which left many players disappointed.

And now...

"It seems that since Dangkang Games started to launch the platform, the Chinese versions of popular foreign games have been launched much faster."

"It can only be said that Dangkang really wants to provide our players with more content."

"I'm somewhat looking forward to other game matters in the announcement."

"..."

Therefore, the popularity of the Dangkang gaming platform, which has just experienced a severe hacker crisis, has exploded.

In major game forums, the proportion of discussions containing the word "Dangkang" has increased significantly.

It is foreseeable that Dangkang Game Platform should once again usher in a wave of user growth, and it may be possible to make up for its losses within this month.

After all, a large part of it is the capital that should have been invested in the first place.

Game security is a core issue for a platform.

In contrast, the remaining major game platforms are bleak and no one cares about them.

As for Goose Factory Games' TGP, it has always ranked first in the domestic market share and is unshakable.

but……

No matter how you say it.
