What is Project Prism?

Project Prism is a top-secret electronic surveillance program implemented by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) since 2007 during the George W. Bush era, and is officially known as "US-984XN".

Project Prism is capable of in-depth monitoring of instant communications and existing data, both in the U.S. and outside the U.S., which means that the U.S. can monitor the world.

The participating companies include 9 international Internet giants, including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.

Later, a guy named Edward Snowden ran away with two top-secret documents, and now the whole world knew about this plan of the United States.

At that time, the two documents did not involve mobile phones, mainly for Internet data, but this time, the 'Hall Institute' revealed that Qualcomm was also part of the Prism program, and the United States was spying on the world much more than Snowden exposed.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately attracted great attention from all sides, because it directly pointed at the US national security department.

The previous Snowden incident caused a lot of uproar, which can be said to be known to the whole world, and it took about a year to gradually subside, and now it has been revealed that Qualcomm may participate in the Prism Project, which has touched the most sensitive nerves in the world at once.

Smell a rat

panicky

These emotions come into being.

The most intuitive reaction is manifested in the stock price, only to see that Qualcomm's stock price began to fall wildly, and the circuit breaker mechanism was triggered three times, and finally fell to 20% and was suspended for protection.

Qualcomm really panicked.

Chairman Tom Horton held a press conference again to explain the incident.

"We can responsibly say that Qualcomm does not provide any backdoor for the US national security department, and we do not allow anyone to use our chips to obtain users' personal information, Qualcomm has always been committed to building the best chips to serve everyone."

Qualcomm flatly denied it, which everyone can realize, and even if they did, they would not admit it, but the reporters did not let the chairman of Qualcomm go.

"Then may I ask whether Qualcomm chips have vulnerabilities that threaten the safe use of users." A reporter asked.

Tom Horton pursed his lips with difficulty, "Yes, we need to admit that no design is flawless, because there are flaws, we will continue to improve, and so far, Qualcomm is still the best chip in the world." ”

Tom Horton said it mildly, but everyone can hear that the chairman has admitted that there are design problems with Qualcomm chips.

"Then how do you ensure that these vulnerabilities are not used by hackers to leak user information, we are concerned about this, because many of us here are also Qualcomm chip mobile phone users." A journalist asked.

"All I can say is that we will provide the latest software for security vulnerabilities so that hackers don't have a chance to take advantage of it, and Qualcomm has been doing a very good job of this, and our technology is beyond doubt." Tom Horton said confidently.

At the same time, the US National Security Agency also held a press conference, and the spokesman said in a serious tone: "The so-called 'Hall Institute' is a non-existent organization, which has never been registered in any country at all, a lie organization, and what he says is also a lie, and according to our investigation, all the information comes from outside the United States." ”

"What I'm saying here is that the U.S. is not monitoring anyone, and U.S. actions are accountable to all U.S. citizens."

"We will take action against the rumor-mongers and slanderers, and the 'Hall Institute' will crack down on the rumor-mongers."

Regarding the words of Qualcomm and the NSA, the media and the public obviously have different opinions, and many comments have appeared on the Internet.

"The security breach has existed for a long time, but it has never been disclosed to the public, and Qualcomm itself is fraudulent, which makes me feel like I'm being stripped naked all the time, and although they don't pay attention to me as an ordinary person, it still feels terrifying."

"Qualcomm chips should be boycotted, it's really a garbage company."

"Under the Patriot Act, police agencies at all levels in the United States have the right to search and analyze any private telephone, e-mail, medical, financial and other kinds of records, the Act was not repealed until 2015, the American Freedom Act stores data in telecommunications companies, according to which the data must be authorized by the court to be used, but according to Google, Facebook and other companies have been exposed to the information that they have been cooperating with American intelligence organizations, the Act has not been complied with."

"We live in an era of extreme insecurity, everything we are watched, and who will protect our rights and interests, the NSA flatly denies, but I doubt it."

......

Scarlett sat in her office, watching the news on TV, and when the deputy head of the NSA mentioned 'Hall Labs,' she thought of someone for no reason, the bastard with a bald head and a big chin.

'Hall Laboratory'.

Jon Hall, that's the name that the bastard used when he first boarded the Crystal Palace.

"Could it be that bastard?"

Scarlett has a special psychic sense, and can even think of it as a special ability, and when she doubts something, she often ends up finding that the result is just as she had foreseen and conjectured.

......

"How much did Qualcomm stock fall, and how much did we earn?" Johnson asked.

"It's down 47% from when we bought it, nearly half, and I used 5 times leverage, so it should be very easy to calculate how much I earned." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

5 times leverage, as long as the fluctuation exceeds 20%, it will be forced to close the position by the brokerage, and the danger is also not small, but Jiang Hao feels that it should be within his control, after all, there is no big benefit, and Qualcomm's stock cannot grow by 20% all at once.

Johnson did a simple mental arithmetic and said in surprise: "Oh my God, you've already made $650 million." ”

"It's almost, the main thing is that I don't dare to start the leverage too much, for fear that the volatility will be too intense." Jiang Hao said.

"I've seen your series of operations these days, and I found out that you are really a devil, and I feel that Qualcomm is going to be played to death by you." Johnson sighed.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Impossible, after all, Qualcomm is the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer, with countless patents, and their background is very strong, just because of my combination of punches, they are a little overwhelmed." Even if the stock falls and Qualcomm suffers heavy losses, it will not shake the foundation of others. ”

What Jiang Hao said is indeed the truth, although Qualcomm has such and such problems, he is still the best chip in the world, and there is still a big gap between other chip manufacturers.

"Let's just make money, we don't have to think about it so much, I'm going to wait for the last round tomorrow, and then I will sell the stock and cash out." Jiang Hao said.

"It's up to you." Johnson Road.

Johnson now admires Jiang Hao very much, and in a short period of time, the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer has lost nearly half, and there are few people in the world who can do this method.

When I called a few guys to ask them to invest, many people hesitated, most of them just looked at their face and invested a part, and when they saw the profit, they knew that they regretted investing less.

As for those guys who don't trust themselves and don't invest a penny, they don't want them when they look for Lao Tzu in the future.

Due to the Qualcomm chip problem, it has affected countless mobile phone manufacturers, such as foreign countries, and several major Chinese manufacturers.

The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond!

Johnson left, Jiang Hao sat in the studio in a daze, thinking about his own business, he operated this time, cheated Qualcomm, and made hundreds of millions of dollars by the way, but so far, he has not received a single piece of system information.

That is, all his actions now are legal.

Exposing Qualcomm chip vulnerabilities and pointing out that Qualcomm may be involved in the Prism Project are all within the scope of legality.

Jiang Hao suddenly understood one thing, that is, he said nonsense about Qualcomm's participation in the Prism Project, as if he was right, haha, this is called reverse presumption, and the system told Jiang Hao the correct answer.

What is your own mission?

It's a crime.

It's not okay to be so kind to the wind and the sun, spring and snow, OK, then give them some ruthlessness tomorrow.

Following.

Thursday

The New York stock market opens at 9:30 a.m. EST, and the U.S. stock market trades for six and a half hours a day from half past nine to four p.m., without a break at noon.

As soon as the stock market began, everyone found that Qualcomm shares had a strong rebound group, and the trading volume gradually increased, and many people saw that there should be a large capital injection, or a bailout or a bottom, and Qualcomm shares rose by 4 percentage points in just one hour.

Many investors feel that Qualcomm has a strong rebound momentum.

In fact, the problems that broke out before, such as chip security vulnerabilities, participating in the Prism Project, this is nothing new, Google, Apple, Facebook and other companies also encountered the Prism Gate at the beginning, and in the end, it is not still one of the top ten network companies with the highest market capitalization, as for the chip vulnerability, no one has shaken its position anyway, who can you choose if you don't choose Qualcomm, and other chip manufacturers must be perfect? As long as Qualcomm's technology and patents are there, it is still the world's No. 1 chip manufacturer.

Two hours after the market opened, Qualcomm's stock had recovered 5.5%, which is not comparable to the 47% decline in these days, but it is still a strong recovery.

But at this moment,

The Hall Institute is jumping out again!

A statement from the Hall Institute suddenly broke out on the Internet.

"The Hall Institute is a company dedicated to the future of technology, and to show that we are not an American company. In response to the accusations made against us by the U.S. security services, saying that we slandered Qualcomm, perhaps we should come up with some evidence to prove our innocence. ”

"Next, we're going to post the evidence."

"We have reason to believe that Google is stealing user information on a large scale, just a few months ago, some companies have pointed out that Google steals user data, and some of Google's applications on the shelves of Android and Apple stores can save user information, and the objects of data collection include 2 billion Android users and tens of millions of Apple mobile phone users."

"What's more, even if the user stops geolocation recording, some Google apps still automatically store data with location and don't ask the user about it."

"Google's explanation for this is that the data collection is necessary to further increase the speed and performance of the messaging service, and that the information collected is public and does not involve real privacy."

"Now, we are skeptical of Google's claims, because we have a large number of call records of Google's senior management communicating with Qualcomm executives, and the recordings and text chat records in it show that the two sides are communicating and discussing for the theft of user data, and this data will be specially copied to the US national security department for data backup."

Below this article, there is a screenshot of Google's text chat software, and the name on it is named Powell, Google's vice president of communications and public affairs, and the other is Max Net, vice president of Qualcomm.

The two exchanged a lot of content, but the main topic was how to collect user information more conveniently and use the data as a tool for the next step of the company's operation, which of course also mentioned the US national security department.

Powell even complained that the US national security agencies are annoyed and always want to take away more information, but Google has been cautious about this, because it is afraid that they will use too much information to arouse the suspicion of Google users, thus revealing the fact that Google has stolen user information.

Stir!

Big news.

After this news came out, it immediately spread wildly on the Internet, spreading wantonly through various channels, and Powell, vice president of communications and public affairs at Google, and Max Snyder, vice president of Qualcomm, are really famous.

That's right

Max Ned, vice president is the guy who came forward to hold a press conference before Qualcomm, saying that Qualcomm never stole user information and opened the back door.

This is a direct slap in the face.

The people were in an uproar,

"Oh my God, everything is true, we were deceived by Google and betrayed by Qualcomm."

"Our privacy is completely non-existent, we are completely transparent people, who will guarantee our privacy."

"The U.S. government will protect your privacy, oh, it's reserved, so please go back to the era of digital phones and say goodbye to smartphones."

"The mobile phone is no longer our assistant, but has become our biggest helper."

"No, I don't think it's the phones to blame, it's Qualcomm and Google, they're trampling on our human rights."

Affected by the news, Qualcomm's stock price plummeted again, followed by three blossoms all the way, and finally fell again to 20% suspension protection.

Looking at Qualcomm's red stock decline line, Jiang Hao smiled, the total income has exceeded one billion, and it can be harvested.

Jiang Hao did not hesitate, directly threw away Qualcomm's short position, and the funds began to be withdrawn, injected into the company accounts registered in the offshore company, and then transferred to the bank he opened, three times and two times, and the money fell into his pocket safely.

Now Jiang Hao only has to watch the play easily.

Because the "Hall Lab" article also involves Google, the stock of Google also fluctuated a lot, and it began to decline in the afternoon, and finally closed down 3.7%.

You know, Google's market capitalization has reached a staggering $800 billion, and just this one news has evaporated Google by 30 billion.
