Chapter 748 Jack's Profile
The so-called "credential stuffing" is a hacker attack technique that attempts to log in to other websites by collecting usernames and passwords that have been leaked online.
No matter how good the system protection is, it is still used by people. When many people set their account passwords, they usually go back and forth with two or three combinations, or even just use one password.
What’s more, for example, Jack’s colleague at the LAPD, Old Salted Fish Midi, simply posted his account and password directly next to his computer screen.
This kind of hacking method is not clever, but it is very effective, and it is difficult to prevent. With the size of the NYPD police force, it is almost impossible to completely prevent it, because police officers are also human beings, and humans are inert.
But this did not prevent Frank Regan, the director, from calling the Ministry of Internal Affairs to scold him after listening to Jack's help in explaining those difficult terms.
In the end, it was Hotchner who made the concluding remarks and arranged the tasks, "The current evidence is enough to prove our conjecture. If our profile is accurate, the eight murders now are all to estimate the police's reaction time, that means there may be 8 bombs near the area where the attack occurred."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rhett, "If it is really the same as what we profiled, then there will be a total of 8 bombs. There are 16 bombs, because they are expected to launch a second attack, targeting emergency personnel who arrive later, and they may use human bombs.”
Red’s words shocked everyone. , some scenes don’t need to happen in reality, just imagination can make people shudder.
Hotchner maintained a poker face, although his face was as ugly as everyone else, "Emily followed Director Reagan to the mayor's office. Rossi and Ms. Moger will go to the NSA for intelligence communication. Dr. Red and Luke accompany us.
Dr. Reid is responsible for explaining the seriousness of the situation to the NSA. Luke brings the equipment and is responsible for their safety. Hannah and Jiejie go to the port authority to communicate and coordinate with them, and if necessary, immediately activate the emergency plan. "
Finally, Hotchner's eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Joyner, "Send the locations of all shooting incidents to DHS, and then you and I will go there to report the situation. We need DHS. Send people to investigate those areas.
The only advantage we have now is that the other party thinks they are still in control of everything and don't know that we have penetrated the truth, so we must seize the time and pay attention to safety. "
Finally he looked at the only person who was not assigned a task, "Jack stayed at the headquarters to deal with emergencies. "
Frank Regan came in uniform today. Hearing this, he put on his big-brimmed hat and straightened his clothes before going out. "I have notified all emergency units through the internal system. Once an unexpected situation occurs, No one is allowed to approach until the scene is secured, pending a bomb squad response. ”
At the same time, Dana Moger was also giving an order to Jubal, "Inform all field agents who come to support to be on call 24 hours a day. They work in groups of three to maintain communication. They report every 20 minutes. It is forbidden to use mobile phones to report. Once the worst happens, the mobile phone network will collapse immediately, just like it did before. "
As expected of a female boss with a delicate mind, Jack secretly learned another trick, since the other party is always in the dark. Paying attention to everything, then the FBI on the streets today may be part of their plan.
Nearly 300 field agents from nearby states came this time. If one of them is targeted and assassinated, then the whole city will be under martial law. The only people with unimpeded access on bridges and tunnels are those with the status of federal agents, such as the FBI.
Before everyone set off, Jack gave each group a signal jammer and reminded, "In case of an accident, after pressing the switch, this portable jammer can block a 200-yard range centered on it. wireless signal.
But this also means that you will lose your own radio communication and mobile phone signal and cannot contact the outside world, so be sure to use it with caution.”
Since the last bomb collar threat to the New York headquarters building, Dana Moger arranged for the back office to purchase a large number of these cheap and high-quality gadgets, and she wanted to equip all field agents with one.
This kind of signal jammer with three-proof functions is similar to a large brick. It has limited power but is more than enough to deal with ordinary civilian wireless signal transmitters.
At the same time, the operations center was already busy. Jubal was already directing technicians to test emergency lines and allocate radio communication channels to contact the field agents who came to support.
Not every agent's car is equipped with a radio like Jack's Dodge Hellcat. In most cases, the communication tools used by everyone are mobile phones uniformly issued by the bureau.
But the virtues of the private mobile network service providers in the Federation can only be said to be understood by everyone. Wherever they can make do with it, they will resolutely fool around. Everything is to reduce costs, just like those private freight forwarders. Railway is a virtue. Once an emergency such as an explosion occurs, if the number of users making calls in an area increases slightly, the mobile network will collapse in minutes, guaranteeing that you will not even be able to call 911. Of course, the 911 call center will definitely be busy by that time. But the call came.
Normally, agents will only wear wireless headsets when performing field missions. However, the communication distance of this wireless headset is limited and needs to be connected to the nearest vehicle radio.
When a unified mission is carried out, there will be a communication support vehicle that takes on the function of a vehicle-mounted radio. In this emergency situation, Jubal cannot produce so many communication support vehicles and distribute them evenly to Manhattan. Every corner.
Now we can only rely on the antenna installed on the roof of the Federal Building for emergency response. The signal strength may not be able to cover the entire New York City, but covering Manhattan Island is not a big problem.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Jack walked to Garcia. Unexpectedly, she had become the leader of the IT technical geeks in the combat center.
Under the leadership of Garcia, the otakus are reorganizing the NYPD's surveillance footage and gathering together the surveillance footage from the eight areas where shooting incidents mentioned by Hotchner for easy access at any time.
Although surveillance coverage is low and the effect is poor, it is better than nothing. Secondly, there are at least a hundred cameras around each area. If something goes wrong, you have to rely on the naked eye to find them one by one, which is a lot of work. Not small.
"So, the guy who invaded the system can't counter-track, even if he asks our old friends for help?" Jack knocked on her table, indicating something.
Of course Garcia knew that the old friend he was talking about was Justin. Hearing this, he shook his head, "The other party's methods are not clever, but they are very cautious. They erased all traces when leaving the system. Even she might There is nothing we can do.
But we have laid a trap, and we will be able to locate him as soon as he appears again.”
Jack walked around the big office again, always feeling a little uneasy, so he simply took out a Noveske N4 assault rifle, disassembling and maintaining it while thinking about the clues he had so far.
In the end, the image in his mind was fixed on the face of the gunman who was still staring blankly. He was a very young black man who had just come of age. He was the age when the most passionate people were most easily deceived. Then he The word Emily used to describe the other person came to mind - martyr.
"Martyr. Martyr." Jack recited several times silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked Jubal who was standing aside, "Do you still remember the terrorist organization that tricked underage girls into releasing tetrodotoxin in the city? ?”
(Note, Chapter 535)
Of course Jubal remembered that in his opinion, Jack had somewhat of a disaster star physique. Ever since he appeared in New York, he had Explosions and poisoning, major cases that an ordinary detective only encounters once in a lifetime, have almost become his daily routine.
"'DarkJihad', what happened? This organization has been silent for a long time since Khalid Burram was killed by you and Hannah.
After the NSA cooperated with the CIA to cut off their source of funds , some of their personnel abroad were absorbed by Ace, and there should be some remnants in the country, but without funds, it is impossible for them to organize an attack of this scale."
"Yes. Ah, the lack of funds." Jack's protracted tone seemed a little meaningful, "But didn't the NSA also say that a sum of funds from the Durange drug cartel is still missing?"
Jubal was slightly stunned. Following Jack's train of thought, "You mean there may be cooperation between the two parties? Anthony Vargas' men are indeed good at making bombs. The Durange drug cartel provides the money and technology, and 'Dark Jihad' provides the people.
But if that was the case, we should be receiving threatening messages calling for the release of Anthony Vargas by now.”
Jack shrugged, "It's all just speculation. Maybe 'Dark Jihad' got the money and bombs and didn't intend to abide by the agreement, and planned to directly launch a large-scale terrorist attack. Or maybe they planned to detonate a place first and then send out more substantial threats." A meaningful threat."
Jubal couldn't sit still, "I immediately contacted Dana and asked the NSA to verify this possibility immediately."
