Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 335 It Is Entirely Possible

As noon approached, Nathaniel intended to take Lucas to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Just as they were about to leave, Sebastian rushed in, a rare look of urgency etched on his usually composed face. “Mr. Hadley, we have a problem. Someone is attacking our security system, and all of our computers have frozen, he reported.

“What did the technical department say?” Nathaniel immediately rose from his seat.

If their clients’ information and business arrangements were to leak out, it would spell disaster for the company.

Sebastian’s face paled. “The technical department can only resist the attack for now, but they won’t be able to hold off for long.”

Four years ago, when the company’s data had been leaked, Nathaniel had taken measures to strengthen the company’s cybersecurity. Hence, Nathaniel couldn’t fathom how the hacker could have breached their enhanced system.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes. “What use is the technical department if they can’t even stop a hacker?”

He made his way toward the elevator, only to notice that Lucas was following him.

“I want to go check it out too,” Lucas said innocently.

Sebastian was rendered speechless. We’re going to work not to play house. Perhaps Mr. Hadley is only letting him tag along simply because he doesn’t want to leave the child alone in his office.

The technical department had descended into chaos. Several technicians were frantically working to fend off the intrusive malware, but even the three of them couldn’t hold off the single hacker’s attack.

Suddenly, they received an email from the attacker demanding thirty million in exchange for ceasing the assault. Otherwise, they threatened to make all of Hadley Corporation’s data public.

A data leak of such scale would be akin to stripping Hadley Corporation naked and throwing it into the street. It would be a devastating blow for any company.

Clearly, the hacker was after money.

Nathaniel walked in and his stern expression intensified as he took in the sight of his staff struggling helplessly against the invasion.
