The Story begins
Moonshot Satellites CEO William Gecko pauses his afternoon work to regard an email notification, but before he could click it, his pager blipped, then his office phone began to ring, followed by his personal cell phone. What could be this important?
At 3 o’clock, Moonshot Satellites, a multi-billion dollar company charged with delivering Internet access to over 200 million individual commercial customers and numerous government agencies, was hacked. A mysterious hacking conglomerate who call themselves Unwanted Guest have infiltrated Moonshot Satellites, threatening the company if they do not comply with their demand for 500 million in Bitcoin currency by the following week.
Can you help Moonshot Satellites recover from this devastating blow before the deadline?
Suspect Report
There are a selection of employees, past and present and who operate in almost all departments of Moonshot Satellites, that may have aided Unwanted Guest. Could it be Darlene Doubleday, an unnoticed employee of impressive yet unacknowledged intelligence? Or maybe Alonso Mosley, a disgruntled ex-employee who feels slighted by the company? Or perhaps Abby Cooper, an Admin Assistant yearning to leave the office to pursue the creative, yet far less lucrative, field of literature? Though the culprit may have been sneaky, their digital and paper footprints may still be able to lead you in the right direction.
