Chapter 83 Surviving the Crisis
Chapter 83: Surviving the Crisis
After Lin Feng and everyone else recovered from the wonderful breakfast, they coughed lightly and announced their decision.
"I decided not to go back. "Legend" will remain in its current state and will be re-opened in three days. For the remaining gold coins and equipment intercepted, I plan to vote on the official website and let the players decide how to handle their ownership." Lin Feng
explain.
"It's not impossible to do this. It's a wise choice for players to decide to intercept the remaining equipment and gold coins. However, the comprehensive compensation for "Millennium" and "Paradise" may cause emotional resistance among players." Wu Zhaopu told Lin Feng
I highly appreciate this proposal, but I am also very worried about the comprehensive compensation measures announced by "Millennium" and "Paradise".
Originally, if these two companies hadn't caused trouble, players would have happily accepted Lin Feng's decision. However, with the comprehensive compensation offered by these two companies, I'm afraid many players who have lost high-end equipment will be reluctant to accept this.
Lin Feng sighed helplessly. These two companies were indeed hateful. They tried to trick him like this at the critical moment, but they left him helpless.
"A strong man has his arm broken, so we can only choose this way. After all, compared to our registered members, the number of players who suffered losses due to account theft this time is in the minority, and it was because they used illegal plug-ins. Since they have done something wrong, they must
Bear the consequences." Lin Feng said decisively.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded firmly.
"What about the more than 4.3 million stolen money from Dingdang.com?" Liu Yingying frowned and said, this problem is more troublesome. If handled carelessly, the image and popularity that Dingdang.com has worked so hard to build will be destroyed in one day.
"Call the police! Let the police handle it!" Lin Feng said firmly.
"Call the police!!!" Everyone was stunned, but then they applauded.
Everyone had always thought that this incident was an internal matter of the "Second World" and "Dingdang Network", and had never thought of calling the police. At this time, Lin Feng proposed to call the police and let the police handle it.
Handing this hot potato to the police will not only get rid of the suspicion of reneging on Dingdang.com, but it can also use this incident to establish Dingdang.com's image of fairness and strictness.
After continuing to discuss some details, Lin Feng brought Dingdang CEO Liu Yingying, Second World CEO Wu Zhaopu, Chief Technology Officer Cui Mingze, and Shanghai Pudong District Criminal Police Brigade Captain Liu Chengfeng to attend
held this impromptu press conference.
This time the "Account Stealing" incident occurred in the early morning hours of February 14, although only one day and one night has passed, it has already caused a sensation across the country. In this emerging online game market, such a large-scale account theft incident has involved an amount of
It was a huge record for online games. All the reporters, like cats smelling something fishy, crowded into the press conference venue early, waiting for the arrival of Lin Feng and others.
This is definitely news worth reporting!
On February 15, at 9:30 in the morning, the press conference was held on time.
This was not the first time that Lin Feng attended this press conference. Looking at the bustling reporters in the audience, he was not nervous at all. After taking a deep breath, he gently tapped the microphone to signal everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, this 'Account Stealing' incident has been identified by our company as a trap set by some criminals more than a month in advance for personal gain. The players who suffered losses were just looking for a temporary advantage.
, I used a software called "Legendary Perfect Plug-in" and was exploited by criminals, which ultimately led to the loss of equipment and gold coins in the game account. For this, I would like to express my deep regret on behalf of all the staff of 'Second World'
." Lin Feng said word for word.
"We appeal to players not to use any plug-ins, otherwise we will not be responsible for the losses suffered. This time the criminals stole accounts and made transactions on Dingdang.com, reaching a huge amount of more than 4.3 million yuan. We have handed over this stolen money to the public security agency
We have also reported this incident, and everything will be resolved by the public security organs." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Liu Yingying and others, who were in charge of reporters' questions.
Lin Feng's speech was like a bomb thrown into a fish pond. The reporters were shocked and asked questions one after another. This incident actually involved the police. This is the first time in the domestic online game market. I am afraid that it will affect the handling of similar incidents by online game companies in the future.
At that time, there will be evidence.
News, definitely big news!
After the press conference, Lin Feng also announced the results of the matter on the official website. He also set up a voting option on the official website regarding the handling of intercepted equipment and gold coins, giving players three days to vote. Three days later, "Legend"
The server will be launched on time at 12 noon, and the intercepted equipment and gold coins will be compensated according to the one with the largest number of voters. At the same time, a small program that can detect whether there are similar viruses and Trojans in the computer is provided for players to download.
The announcement of the processing results immediately aroused strong resistance from players who had hacked their accounts. More than 300,000 players launched strong criticism and accusations against the "Second World" in all forums. They took "Millennium" and "Paradise" as examples and demanded that the "Second World" be released.
"Second World" made full compensation. Suddenly, the Internet was full of abuse, and many excited players even claimed that they would never play any online game of "Legend" or "Second World" again.
However, as Lin Feng expected, although the number of more than 300,000 players is horrifying, it is insignificant compared to the more than 50 million registered players of "Legend". Many sensible and sensible players are a little bit concerned about these players who steal their accounts.
The hysterical behavior rebutted, believing that this was all a disgrace to themselves. If they had not used plug-ins, they would not have suffered such losses, and believed that such a decision as "Second World" can protect the interests of all players to the greatest extent.
The two factions once again stood on opposite sides and cursed each other, but it was obvious that the "loyalist" faction had a large number of people, and Lin Feng was the driving force behind the scenes, which made the hacking players breathless. In the end, although there were occasional voices of resistance, in the end
Disappear into the invisible.
The small program launched by Lin Feng to detect whether there are Trojans and Trojans on the computer has been downloaded tens of millions of times in just three days. Many people have detected that the computer also contains similar viruses and Trojans. If it were not Valentine's Day,
, these players did not turn on their mobile phones in order to go on a date, and I am afraid that the number of players who will suffer from the "Account Stealing Gate" incident will increase several times.
Therefore, many players called on "Second World" to introduce measures to protect player accounts and prevent player accounts from suffering losses. This appeal was exactly what Lin Feng wanted, and Lin Feng immediately announced that he would launch a solution that can perfectly protect player accounts within a week.
Please rest assured about the measures taken. During this period, we hope that players will not open any unknown websites and software to prevent poisoning.
Within a week, in order to protect his account, the number of views on some illegal websites dropped significantly. Invisibly, Lin Feng did something good for society.
As for the handling of more than 4.3 million stolen money from Dingdang.com, after it was handed over to the police, the buyers and sellers of Dingdang.com who were in turmoil due to this incident were temporarily relieved. Although some people objected that buying and selling is free and Dingdang.com has no right to seize.
The seller deserves payment, but most buyers still strongly agree with this approach, thinking that this way their buyers will feel more confident when shopping on Dingdang.com.
In the end, except for a few sellers with ulterior motives who protested strongly, most sellers also recognized Lin Feng's handling method. They believed that this would stabilize the online shopping market of Dingdang.com, give buyers confidence, and naturally bring business to sellers.
As for the buyers who purchased this piece of cheap and top-quality equipment, Lin Feng reassured them on the pretext that those who did not know were not guilty. After all, if it is dealt with, I am afraid that a large number of players will not choose to trade on Dingdang.com in the future, which is not good for Dingdang.com.
.After all, if you are going to cause trouble to the buyer, it is better to go to the source and directly hold the seller responsible.
Chapter completed!
