I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 366 - 228: Phishing Website

"Don’t fool me, aren’t you police officers supposed to catch bad guys? Why do you need to analyze data? I’ve never seen you use a computer before, can you operate it?"

Lin Feifei was skeptical. She still didn’t quite believe it, but she also felt Li Xiang didn’t need to lie to her.

"The bad guys these days are keeping up with the times and learning new technologies. If we police officers don’t strive to improve, how can we catch the bad guys? Don’t worry, I’m not being fooled; this is serious work."

After pacifying Lin Feifei, Li Xiang continued building his workstation. It wasn’t until midnight that he had completed the main framework, though the system was not yet installed.

He didn’t plan on installing those commercial systems; instead, he opted for the fully open-source Linux system. Later, he would modify the Linux system based on his own needs, removing some impractical features and adding some useful ones.

With his current skills, he definitely had the capability to fully develop an entirely new system, but there was no need. Developing a system isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight, so it’s better to use an existing system and improve it, saving time that way.

Once he’s developed Artificial Intelligence, the AI will help him write simple but large-scale programs, making developing a system alone possible.

Over the next few days, Li Xiang’s life was very fulfilling. However, every night he spent most of his energy tinkering with his computer, which did cause Lin Feifei some mild complaints, but seeing that he wasn’t playing games and was seriously debugging the computer, she felt relieved.

This day, Li Xiang left work early as he couldn’t wait to finish the computer. After installing the system and tweaking it, he was very satisfied. Buying a workstation of the same performance level would’ve cost forty to fifty thousand, but now it was done for only seventy thousand.

Of course, the two A100 chips from Mengtao played a crucial role.

Now that the computer was done, it was time to find the dirt on that agent.

Li Xiang wasn’t someone who took things lightly. Since people dared to bully him and his girlfriend, why wait if not to retaliate?

Where’s the most dirt to be found on an agent?

Of course, on the phone.

Nowadays, whose phone is clean?

With Li Xiang’s current skills, hacking into someone’s phone was still quite simple, but it needed a medium, or rather a Trojan program.

Afterward, Li Xiang found Lin Feifei, and after some in-depth conversation, he shifted the topic to the agent.

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Lin Feifei was curious. That incident had happened several days ago, and she didn’t understand why Li Xiang was bringing it up today.

"Since he bullied my woman, he can’t be let off so easily. I won’t rest easy until I bring him to ruin."

To deal with a scoundrel, you have to use even more underhanded methods to knock him down.

"How do you plan to do it?"

"Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated. I want to know what hobbies and interests he has."

Lin Feifei never thought much of the agent before. Ever since she fell out with the company, the agent showed a different side, thoroughly disgusting her.

Especially that time in the cafe, he even threatened her personal safety, which made her a bit scared.

Upon investigation, the agent named Jing Chuanchao, whom everyone called Brother Chao, was not only Lin Feifei’s agent but also part of the company’s management. Because Lin Feifei was considered a key artist the company nurtured, he was in charge of her.

Now, with Lin Feifei at the peak of her career, just as the company began reaping profits, such an incident led to significant financial losses, causing a deadlock.

According to information, Brother Chao liked horse gambling, which was common knowledge in the company.

This gave Li Xiang a handle.

Lin Feifei had said before: everyone can be duped, it just depends if they’ve encountered the trick suitable for them.

Li Xiang’s method of dealing with Jing Chuanchao became much simpler.

He first created a phishing website, dressed it up a bit, and then crafted a text message with a link about horse gambling, sending it to Jing Chuanchao’s phone. Once he clicked on the link, the Trojan program would automatically install itself on his phone.

By then, Li Xiang would be able to invade his phone via the Trojan program and access all his secrets stored on it.

At that moment, Lin Feifei was also very curious about what Li Xiang was doing. Although she didn’t understand computers well, seeing Li Xiang’s skilled movements, she curiously asked, "You know computer technology?"

"I know a lot of things. Mere computer technology is so easy."

"Look at you showing off. I really don’t know, how did you learn so many skills at the same age, starting from your mother’s womb?"

"The world of a genius, you wouldn’t understand."

Speaking of geniuses, Lin Feifei was undoubtedly a genius among her peers, having achieved fame across the country and financial freedom at a young age.

If Li Xiang hadn’t had an edge, he’d still be that frustrated little auxiliary police officer.

"Tsk, look at you showing off."

Seeing her man being capable made Lin Feifei inwardly happy for him.

"Hey, he clicked it."

At that moment, Li Xiang surprisingly noticed how quickly Jing Chuanchao clicked the link. He was already prepared for this method to fail and to switch to another plan.

He didn’t expect that he overestimated him.

After all, it was a text message about horse gambling, something that piqued his interest, so it wasn’t surprising he fell for it.

Once Jing Chuanchao clicked on the link, the Trojan program on the phishing website auto-installed without any prompts. When he opened the rudimentary website and realized it was a scam, he casually closed it.

This phishing site was something Li Xiang casually created, very crude and couldn’t deceive Jing Chuanchao at all.

But none of that mattered; deceiving him wasn’t the primary aim.

It was a success as long as he clicked the link.

"How’s it going?"

Lin Feifei was very interested in this matter too and wanted to know how Li Xiang planned to deal with Jing Chuanchao.

"Wanna see what he’s doing?" Li Xiang asked with a mischievous smile.

Lin Feifei looked surprised, "You can do that?"

"It’s simple."

Li Xiang tapped a few keys on the computer, and soon, a video window popped up, showing Jing Chuanchao grinning widely on the screen.

Seeing the video window, Lin Feifei instinctively dodged and scolded, "Why did you video call him?"

"I didn’t start a video call. This is captured by his phone’s front camera. We can see him, but he doesn’t know we’re watching him."

After hearing Li Xiang’s explanation, Lin Feifei understood, "Is technology these days really this advanced? Do we have any privacy left?"

"In the world of the internet, what privacy?"

Of course, nowadays, these internet giants leverage their industry advantages to frantically collect user data, profiling them, discerning who’s a potential customer and who’s not, making clear distinctions. Everyone lives in an information cocoons, seeing only what they want to see, what they like to see, without hearing other voices. You can find a sense of identity, thinking everyone is the same, and occasional different voices are viewed as outliers.

But is that truly the case?

Is the cognition derived from cognitive biases truly the truth of this world?

"When you put it that way, I also noticed something."

Upon hearing Li Xiang’s words, Lin Feifei recalled something, "Last time I told you I wanted to buy a bag, and then I opened Douyin, Taobao, JD, and they all recommended bags to me. These apps must be listening to our conversations. Whatever we lack, they sell it like crazy. There’s truly no privacy, and who knows if they can, like you, harness our cameras and spy on us."
