Chapter 178: Episode 178: The Computer Killer is Incurable
After three days of trial work, Zhou Xueyin had roughly figured out why the employees of Cool Racing Group were reluctant to let Chen Yitian participate in their work.
On the first day, the plan was for Chen Yitian to familiarize himself with the forum’s organizational structure and the server configuration.
But somehow, he messed up the points system.
After exchanging points, the remaining balance did not decrease but actually increased. If it weren’t for a kind-hearted forum user alerting them and Kang Siyin’s timely response, within an hour, someone could have easily accumulated enough points to exchange for the latest Barbour handbag.
Because of the failure on the first day, on the second day, Kang Siyin let Chen Yitian study the forum on his own computer.
But even with the virtual host that Kang Siyin had set up and tested successfully, nobody knew what he was doing to require her to reset and install it every hour.
The worst part was that each time the error was different, leaving Kang Siyin herself dumbfounded.
She’d heard of the term "computer killer," but this was truly the first time she had witnessed one in action.
On the third day, Chen Yitian was too embarrassed to bother Kang Siyin anymore, so he studied the computer on his own...
The result was that he visited some questionable websites and got a worm virus. Not only was the network of 51buy down, but the entire group’s network was paralyzed as well.
The group’s technical and operational maintenance team had to mobilize collectively to determine that Chen Yitian’s computer was the source of the worm virus outbreak.
