...Actually, it''s not that we''re not trying to fix the firewall, it''s that we can''t even get into it," Kyle said with a wry smile.
From the moment they discovered thework was under attack, leading to catastrophic failures, they had tried countless times to prate the firewall, only to be bounced out every single time.
They knew it was a virus, but they were helpless!
Mirabe pressed the confirm button, barely uttering two words: "Alright then."
Kyle felt an overwhelming sense of inferiority, wishing a hole would open up in the ground for him to disappear into.
He had been standing behind Mirabe the whole time, watching her navigate, especially when she effortlessly essed the firewall. At that moment, he almost thought they weren''t trying to ess the same firewall.
Kyle''sputer skills weren''t top-notch, but they were definitely solid, and the same could be said for his colleagues in the security department.
They were all ranked within the top five nationally and within the top twenty globally.
With such skills, they couldn''t even breach a firewall, which was embarrassing, to say the least.
Mirabe didn''t bother with what Kyle was thinking. After fixing the firewall, she remembered something James had mentioned about ''having funds'' and suddenly looked up at Kyle, "How about I build you a more advanced firewall?"
Honestly, she had never seen such a weak firewall, no wonder it was breached so easily.
Even though she sensed disdain from an expert, Kyle waspletely convinced, nodding repeatedly, "Thank you, genius!"
Mirabe raised an eyebrow and then resumed her work on theputer.
Ten minutester, a brand new firewall instantaneously enveloped the entire national security building''swork, with dozens ofyers intricately connected, creating a series of protective protocols. Not to mention breaching, even cracking it would be a headache.
It would be impossible to solve in less than ten days to a fortnight.
Mirabe stood up from the chair, giving her spot to Kyle for him to see for himself.
Kyle eagerly took the mouse and opened the program''s source code. After a long while, his facial expression went from initial shock to numb astonishment.
All he could think internally was, "Holy cow."
This wasn''t just a firewall; it was clearly a brainteaser!
And one that could easily stump a bunch of experts in ten minutes!
Considering the level of difficulty, not just them, but possibly even the world''s number one hacker might not be able to break through it.
Kyle wiped his face, feeling like his years as a programmer were for naught.
Not just him, at this moment, the other colleagues in the control room also felt incredibly disheartened.
They had never seen such a youngputer wizard.
And with the firewall recement, thework security issue was easily resolved, without needing Mirabe to lift a finger for the simple repairs, something the security team could handle on their own.
At this time, Curtis, who had just parked the car and returned, walked into the control room, sensing the odd atmosphere. He nced at the technicians still fixing thework, feeling a sudden sense of dread.
Could even Ms. Mirabe not fix it?
He quickly walked over to Kyle''s side.
Upon closer inspection, Curtis saw that Kyle wasn''t repairing thework issue, but was looking at programmands. He asked, "Why did you stop?"
Kyle, still engrossed in the fascinating program code, took a moment to respond before looking up, somewhat confused, "Stop what?"
After a brief silence, Curtis asked, "Is thework fixed already?"
