C city, Dev's office

Dev was attending a meeting in conference hall with his company's R&D department and security department. Meeting was about something very serious about their security system and malware. Dev was silently hearing what team leaders and department managers are saying.

"This is the third time we are facing the same issue DD. They are trying to break through our firewall. We checked for all possible hackers with our previous history but this time it's someone new and they really got some skills. " one team leader said to Dev.

"It might be some kids trying to prank us by giving false alert." Dev suggested.

"At first we also thought like that but no DD. This isn't a prank. Same incident happened during the time we launched our new security application super beta 2, but that time fortunately we found the gang we could move legally. This time also they are behind the same one but not the updated versions. That's what making us confused. Why would someone want an older version? Right now we use that version only for cosmos. We developed that security program exclusively for cosmos. In order to point this out immediately in front of you we requested for a meeting like this. May be this has some connection with the current case going with cosmos. " R&D Department manager said to Dev.

"From our side we should be always clean. There can't be a mistake from security side as well as the development side. Are you sure none of our data got hacked?" Dev asked to his team.

"Yes sir, about that we are fully confident. All our data's are safe but what's next?" R&D department manager asked to Dev for a solution.

"Triple security for the older version and I need daily updates of super beta 2.9 version. Mr Seagal either you meet me personally or contact Mohit before submission. " Dev suggested

"What about the IP address of these hackers. You guys could able to track anything?" Dev asked

"As usual it's from different corners of this world. Tracing itself was a headache then tracking you can imagine. Since our security wall was much powerful than their skills this time we got saved but next time if they got strong then we are at high risk DD. We should do something before that" security team manager said.

"It can be a team. With one brain it's not that much easy or he or she should be pro. How many layers they filtered through?" Dev asked

"Three, they could have easily get through the four but our team was full on action mode." manager replied

"I am still not getting how they could get through our firewall breaking all securities. Tracing our IP address itself is difficult, then how? That's what making me confused or it can be a bug among us? My mind even went there to? " one of the team leaders put forward his doubt.

"Mr Patel you are overthinking. There can't be a bug among us. I am sure about that. This is something else. Like I told you..... Either he is a pro or he is way too intelligent. " said Dev

"Whoever it is, I should admit one thing DD. It's very fun to counter attack. They are so unpredictable sometimes. You should deal with them at least for once, I am sure DD will enjoy it very much. "Another team leader

"What I find really interesting in them is their security system. Their firewall is protected almost with same layers as ours, just think about the expense or someone should be funding them. In that case we are deeply in trouble as well as close to our case with cosmos. If its related to cosmos issues then we can confirm that it's a terrorist team or ........" Dev scoffed hearing the comment of Mr Segal.
