Breaching 2 Computer Security 


Jin: Did you hear what happened to McQ Corp? 


Dina: No, what? 


Jin: Hackers 3 were able to get unauthorized access to its computer systems and cause a lot of problems over the weekend. They destroyed data and rendered the system unusable. In fact, the entire system crashed. 


Dina: I hadn’t heard that. Why McQ Corp? 


Jin: Well, the company announced last week that it had implemented 4 new security measures, which made their systems impenetrable. 


Dina: Ah, that explains it. Making an announcement like that is like issuing a challenge. 


Jin: Yeah, it was definitely a challenge. I bet a lot hackers were trying to breach 1 those security measures, just to show that it could be done. One of them certainly found the system’s vulnerabilities and exploited them. 


Dina: What was McQ Corp thinking? They’ve had problems in the past with hackers and then they issue this challenge. I say that it serves them right! 


Jin: They shouldn’t have bragged 5 about their new security measures, but those hackers caused a lot of damage. 


Dina: I bet McQ Corp learned its lesson: Don’t wave a red flag in front of a bull!
