With a lead up like that...
The second Digital Storm, also known as SPAMarok and by the ‘Danes as The Great Hack, occurred in late Autumn after SerenityCon.
Unlike before, this attack was far more organised and far more widespread. Boskonian influence is suspected.
Also unlike before, the Fenspace AI were not in the mood to play around.
The core of what would become known as the Hacker Underspace went on the offensive, blowing through the defences of the bot-net control servers and opening them to the remaining Fen AIs. The AIs in turn completely subverted the bot-nets, and used them to purge themselves. The Underspace however ripped through the control servers’ control servers and tracked down the controllers. The police services of nearly thirty countries receive detailed dossiers on nearly five thousand people.
At the end of it, almost 200 million systems had been counter-hacked, $7,000,000 dollars of equipment were seized, $1.2 billion dollars in funds were located, and Spam email dropped from a ratio of 100 Spam messages for every one non-Spam message to a ratio of one Spam message for every three non-Spam messages.
