Superstar Husband & Genius Wife - Chapter 45：Hacked

“Okay, wait a minute, Sir Ethan,” said Agung who put his cellphone on the table, pressed the speaker button so he could hear Ethan’s voice, and dialed the number through the intercom.

“Hello, Sir Agung, what’s wrong?” someone asked when Agung’s call had been answered.

“Hello sir, I want to ask something…” Before Agung could finish his sentence, suddenly the person cut him off.

“Sorry sir, can you just say it to the point? Right now our team is in an emergency,” said the person.

“Did Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang have any instructions regarding NamTech’s name appearing on a trending topic on social media?” Agung immediately said the question to the point.

“You stupid! I don’t want to hear an excuse! You must be able to find the traces!” Agung could hear that the person who answered the phone was angry.

“Ah, sorry sir, what did you ask earlier? Ah, Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang’s instructions, right? Nothing really, they didn’t instruct anything,” replied the person who was talking to Agung again.

“You can’t go home if you haven’t found it!” continued the person again who could still be heard by Agung

“Oh I see,” said Agung.

“What is wrong? Looks like something serious is going on,” Ethan who could hear their conversation because Agung turned on the speaker on his intercom as well

“Ah you…” the person was a little surprised when he heard a voice he had never heard before.

“I’m Ethan, the interim CEO of NamTech,” replied Ethan, introducing himself.

“So, what happened?” continued Ethan again.

“Ah, that…,” the person sounded a little hesitant when he wanted to say it. If only Agung himself heard it, it wouldn’t matter. He could beg Agung not to tell the boss.

But it turns out the boss has heard their words.

“I’m dead! Am I going to be fired? Ah, there is still a lot of house and car installments, not to mention my 3 children who are still in school. Wait a minute, this is not purely our fault, but the IT Security department’s fault” thought the person who is the manager of a special team to find out the secrets of companies that want to work with NamTech.

The current problem that occurred was not due to their negligence.

“Just say it!” said Ethan again, making the man a little scared.

“Looks like… NamTech servers were hacked,” said the person. He then explained that the cybersecurity manager suddenly contacted him asking for help in tracing the tracks of another unknown user who had suddenly entered their server. Their servers are being hacked!

While people from cybersecurity are trying to find know what data was stolen and improve their security, but because they are short of people, they ask a special team to help them.

“What?! We got hacked again?! You know this is a dire situation, right?!” suddenly Agung raised his voice. They were also hacked in the past, but thankfully no data was leaked or stolen by that person, it looks like that person just wanted to test his ability to hack NamTech.

Since that incident, security at NamTech has been further enhanced. They even hire new people with more skills who of course are paid more so that their systems are not hacked again.

The image of a company whose system is hacked or even whose data is leaked will of course be bad in the eyes of people, because the data contains their valuable personal information.

But now, NamTech has hacked again. This is even more serious than the name of the company and their CEO which is a trending topic on social media!

“Agung, calm down!” scolds Ethan because Agung suddenly became panicked. Even though he didn’t really understand, but Ethan could tell little by little that this was a serious problem.

“So? What has the person who hacked NamTech stolen?” asked Ethan, trying to be calm and show his authority.

“That’s… The latest information, the hacker only deleted the news on our website and social media about Sir Ethan who came to NamTech, the rest, the cybersecurity team is still looking for it,” said the person.

“Has your team still not managed to track down the person?” asked Ethan again.

“Ah … yes,” said the person in a low voice. “But we’re currently working hard to track that person down, so sir Ethan can calm down. We will definitely find the person who hacked NamTech!” continued the man. He vows to work overtime with his men until he discovers the identity of the person who hacked NamTech!

If they can’t afford it, what will their new CEO think? They might all lose their jobs later!

“Ah it’s okay, you don’t have to do it and can go home when it’s time to go home,” said Ethan again. Make Agung and the person stunned.

“Did the boss just fire them?” thought Agung

“Si-Sir Ethan, please think again! We will! Will definitely find that person, please don’t fire us!” like Agung, that person was also thinking the same thing. Their new boss just fired them.

“Hah? What are you talking about?” asked Ethan in surprise, he just told them not to look for the person who hacked NamTech and tell them to go home. Did he misspeak?

“Ehem, I didn’t fire you guys, really! Forget about looking for traces of the person who hacked the company and your team can go home when the shift has ended. Oh yes, Agung, tell the cybersecurity team not to need to find out further if any data has been lost and just improve the security of the company’s system, they can also go home when their shift work is over!” said Ethan, in an authoritative tone.

“Ah, if only noona understand what I’m saying! Surely she will praise me for sounding like a leader,” thought Ethan.

“Okay sir Ethan, thank you very much!” the person then immediately hung up the phone, afraid that their new boss might change his mind.

“But…” Agung wanted to argue. Doesn’t the boss know that this is a very serious matter?

“Just do it! Regarding the press release that you issued, there is no need to do it again and there is no need to issue another press release regarding my arrival at the NamTech office,” continued Ethan again.

“I’m sorry, Sir Ethan, but if we don’t do it again, the company’s situation will be as chaotic as this morning,” said Agung again, now expressing what he was thinking.

“It’s okay! Looks like the news about me coming to the NamTech office will disappear, maybe. If something happens, please let me know first. Oh yeah, if it’s an emergency, you can call my manager. I’ll give you the contact. Are there any other emergencies?” asked Ethan.

“No, Sir Ethan,” Agung finally answered, although he was still wondering why the boss was acting like that.

“Then, see you later,” Ethan then hung up.

After sending Mi Sun’s contact to Agung, Ethan opened his email app, once the app was open he pressed the email from FA.

When he heard the post about him and NamTech disappearing as if it was deleted, Ethan really didn’t know what was going on, but when he heard that someone hacked NamTech just to delete the news on the NamTech website about him and the latest information no data was stolen plus the people from the special team can’t track it down.

Ethan’s mind immediately remembered the woman.

Hackers.

Untraceable.

Ethan Nam: “Carolina.”

Ethan wrote again, he then went back to where he was and chatted with Mi Sun for a while, but there was no reply from the woman.

Ethan Nam: “It seems like it doesn’t matter if your attitude is given an 8.”

Ethan wrote again feeling that Carolina was deliberately not replying to his messages.

FA: “The range is 0-100, idiot! There is no 8 in option! What? I told you not to bother me while I was doing your task! I’m busy!”

Ethan Nam: “You did it, right?”

FA: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Ethan Nam: “Thank you! I owe you! Although I don’t know why you did it.”

Ethan wrote again, feeling that this incident was the work of that woman, although Ethan didn’t know why she did it, he was really grateful, because now the news about him coming to Indonesia will disappear and his agency will not know about it.

Meanwhile, in a boarding house…

Carolina who read the message from Ethan just snorted, “Huh, I didn’t do it because of you, you know! Shameless!”

“The posts are in order, time to find and delete the photos with my face on it! Or just the photo of the red apple, okay, so that this matter is buried deep and doesn’t go viral in the future,” thought Carolina then stretched her body which was starting to feel stiff before returning to her action.
