TECHNICAL ERRORS

Museo Soumaya, the non-profit museum in Mexico City is the centre of much buzz. And today is the centre for the first look of the latest stealth security software developed by NOTH. And there is a threat that hackers will try to hack and shut the system down as they steal the software. But that’s not the main issue. To display their finesse, the company has setup the security themselves. And if the system is hacked, then the company’s name would be at the stake.

All eyes on this hazel-eyed guy, who seems muscular, but is quite a geek too. Shannon Romero, inspector Mexican police. As he sets up the physical and virtual ways to prevent it, he sits for a moment of leisure with his taco. It’s been only 1 hour since the company set up their software, but he doesn’t want to take any risks. M-“sir?” S-“Yes Mitch, what’s wrong?” M-“Sir, it’s still three hours from the show. Why are we bothered at the moment? The team of hackers said they will destroy the system during the show.” S-“Are you a fool or are acting like one, trying to amuse me? Do you think they’ll have that much speed to hack the system as soon as the software is presented? If you have something better to tell, then go on; otherwise take your ass out of here!” M-“Sorry sir, As a matter of fact, I do have some reports. We’ve checked all the entrances and exits. Tight security has been arranged in the basement parking. All the cameras are under tighter surveillance. But, I don’t understand, they can easily hack even at a distance of 3 miles from here, so why are we putting so, much security over here?” S-“The thing is that they can’t. They can’t access the database through normal networking. Unless they are not close to the system, they can’t even touch it.” M-“But, why haven’t we set up our own team for the virtual surveillance?” S-“God! Are you sure you’re in the police, because you are way too dumb. I can’t tell you the details, but I’ve made the arrangements.”

Another 2 hours pass, but no signs of notoriety. Shannon is getting a bit worried now. What if Mitch said proved to be true? But that’s possible only if an insider, who has full knowledge of the software is with them hackers. S-“I should keep an eye on those programmers as well. I can’t take any risk.”

S-“Are all the programmers here?” X-“Yes, but...Anthony isn’t here.” S-“Where has he gone?” X-“No idea, he didn’t inform any of us.” S-“Mitch..” M-“Got it sir.” S-“We’ll see to that. Now, where is your head programmer?” X-“Sir, he left the company soon after the product was formed.” S-“Can you please give me the details? Till the show is successful, I can’t believe anyone.”

After 15 minutes, M-“Sir, seems like Anthony didn’t even check in at the staff security. Plus, he is nowhere to be found in the building.” S-“Not even the loo?” M-“Sir, I’m not that much of a fool!” S-“After your ridiculous questions, I can’t expect anything. But, you people saw him here?” X-“Well, yes. He was present and was taking care of how the system is going.” S-“We can’t afford to lose him. If he knows how to enter and exit the place unnoticed, then we mustn’t wait for the worst. Get for a thorough checking again. Meanwhile, check all the nearby cafes and restaurants as well. This Anthony guy is intriguing.”
