Security Tales: Digital Apocalypse

- Johann! Come immediately! Transport has already been sent for you and your staff! There is a collapse in the capital and throughout the empire. First of all, transport. All the details upon arrival.
- When you arrive, I'll tell you. The operation is top secret. Everyone switch to encrypted communications.
Half an hour passed.
— Is everyone here?
- Yes, boss!
- Invite the police commissioner. He will france mobile database what happened.
This morning, or more precisely 1 hour and 45 minutes ago, more than 30 million citizens of the empire using mobile Internet reported that they were left without access to the Internet. Moreover, our embassies from three other countries reported something similar. We do not know what this is. A mass terrorist attack is possible. You will have to figure out what happened.
- Well, three to five years ago this would have been just a minor irritation, but now it’s almost a threat of terrorism.
— Rita, you are certainly right. However, you forget that during this time, the average monthly use of mobile data in our country has grown twentyfold, and phone owners use them for everything from streaming music to ordering a taxi and navigating.
- I agree. Today it is a digital apocalypse.
— That's right! Couriers can't deliver goods on time. Ordering a basic pizza is a problem. Taxi drivers can't work because they rely on a navigation system, and it doesn't work either! The information system at the capital's bus stops is out of order. What's more, many small companies that worked via the Internet have stopped working. It's a disaster! People are blocked from life, social networks, banks, data. In some shopping centers, it's impossible to pay with cards, and since we've gotten used to not having cash in our hands, people simply don't understand what to do!
