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 well the system is protected, people still use it. 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 in the LAPD, the old salted fish Smiddy, 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 response time, which means "There may be eight bombs near the area where the attack occurred."
He was interrupted by Rhett before he finished speaking, "If it is true as we profiled, there will be a total of 16 bombs, because they are expected to launch a second attack, targeting emergency personnel who will arrive later, and It's possible that a suicide bomb was used."
Rhett's words shocked everyone. Some scenes don't need to happen in reality, just imagining them 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. Reid and Luke accompanying.
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 everyone 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 to send people to investigate those areas.
The only advantage we have now is that the other party thinks they are still in control and don't know that we have seen the truth, so hurry up and stay safe. "
Finally, he looked at the only person who was not assigned a task, "Jack stays at the headquarters to deal with emergencies."
Frank Regan came in uniform today. After hearing this, he put on his big-brimmed hat and straightened his clothes to prepare to go out. "I have notified all emergency units through the internal system. Once an unexpected situation occurs, no emergency response is allowed until the safety of the scene is ensured." Anyone approaching is awaiting 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 secretly watching everything, the FBI on the street today might be part of their plan.
Nearly 300 field agents from nearby states came here this time. If one of them is targeted and assassinated, then the entire city will be under martial law. The only way to pass unimpeded is through the blocked bridges and tunnels. The only ones who have the status of federal agents are the FBI.
Before everyone set off, Jack gave each group a signal jammer and reminded them, "In the event of an accident, this portable jammer can block wireless signals within a 200-yard range centered on it after pressing the switch.
But this also means that you will lose your own radio communications and mobile phone signals and will be unable to contact the outside world, so be sure to use them 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 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 ethics of the private mobile network service providers in the Federation can only be said to be understood by everyone. Wherever they can make do, they will resolutely fool around. Everything is to reduce costs, just like those private freight railways.
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 would only wear wireless headsets when performing field missions. However, the communication distance of such wireless headsets is limited and they need 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 all corners of Manhattan.
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.
After everyone left, 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 the 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 your naked eyes to find them one by one. The workload is not small.
"So, the guy who invaded the system can't counter-track it, even if he asks our old friends for help?" Jack knocked on her table, indicating something.
Garcia naturally knew that the old friend he was talking about was Justin. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "The other party's methods are not clever, but they are very cautious. They erased all traces when leaving the system. Even she may not be able to do anything.
But we have laid a trap, and as long as the opponent appears again, we can lock his position. "
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 picture 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 at the age when he was the most passionate and most easily deceived. Then he thought about Emily's death. One word used to describe the other party - martyr.
"Martyr. Martyr." Jack recited several times silently. 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 was somewhat of a disaster star. Ever since he appeared in New York, he had exploded and poisoned people. Major cases that an ordinary detective would only encounter once in a lifetime had almost always become a big case. His daily routine.
"Dark Jihad, 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. There should still be some remnants in the country, but without funds, it is impossible for them to organize an attack of this scale. Come. "
"Yes, there is a lack of funds." Jack's protracted tone seemed a bit meaningful, "But didn't the NSA also say that a sum of funds from the Durange drug cartel is still missing?"
Jubal was stunned for a moment and followed Jack's train of thought, "You mean there might be cooperation between the two parties? Anthony Vargas's men are indeed good at making bombs. The Durange drug cartel provided the money and technology, and was led by 'Dark Jihad' 'Extraordinary people.
But if that were 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 the '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." Sexual threats.”
Jubal couldn't sit still, "I immediately contacted Dana and asked the NSA to verify this possibility immediately."
