This thread is for discussion of episode 5 of Ghost. Please check the drama info & schedule thread for more info and rules on how to avoid spoilers and such.
---------------------------------------------------------
The decision maker has arrived. Jo Hyun Min introduces himself as the CEO of Sekang Securities. Hackers have already attacked the site using a DDoS attack. They're now threatening to take down the home trading system by attacking the server.
Sekang officials tell the cyber team their server has the best protection money can buy. Ki Hyun warns them about the human element behind the server security. The server manager won't always be around to enter the ID and password for the server. He'll give it to the subcontractor in and so on. Even if the server manager does his job, the company's wifi can be used to infiltrate the system.
Despite the different possibilities Ki Hyun described, he thinks the attack is a bluff. If hackers had the ability to take down the home trading system they wouldn't have bothered with a DDoS attack. Hyun Min concurs and rips up the hacker bank account info. The market opens on time. There's no attack on the server. Everyone rejoices.
Hyun Min commends Ki Hyun on a job well done. He says that the accident must have affected Ki Hyun since he doesn't seem to remember Hyun Min. We get a flashback to the night of Hyo Jung's murder. Hyun Min is the one that pushes her out of the window. He's the one in the phantom video with Woo Hyun, which shows another man being poisoned. He answered the door when Woo Hyun rang the door bell of apartment 1102 and admitted to killing Hyo Jung. Once in his office, Hyun Min tells director Moon that Ki Hyun acted like they had met for the first time.
Back at police headquarters, actress Kang Seo Ra is involved in a sex tape scandal. She's come to the cyber team for help. When Ki Hyun arrives, he checks the database for anything on Hyun Min or Sekang Securities. He finds nothing. He asks Kang Mi about it but she's never heard of him. Kang Mi informs Ki Hyun that Hyuk Joo might be close to discovering it was Ki Hyun who hacked Jung So Eun's computer with a Hades virus.
Sang Woo reveals to Hyuk Joo that surveillance video shows Ki Hyun going into the evidence room. It's possible he could have used Hades's laptop to perform the hack. Woong Jin doesn't think so. They tried to analyze the computer but couldn't crack the password. He doesn't think it would be possible for anyone to use it unless the user was Hades himself. This gets Hyuk Joo thinking.
During a meeting, Young Suk briefs the cyber team on the Sekang Securities hackers. They're believed to be the Dae Young group. They're supposed to be the best hackers in the world. Ki Hyun thinks they would have taken down the home trading system if they were behind the attack. Dam Sa Myung is the leader of the group. His right hand man is Wang Ji Wi. Ki Hyun and Kang Mi both recognize the other man in the Wang Ji Wi photo. He's the one that blew up the factory and came after Ki Young in the hospital. (Other sites are referring to him as Vans Man. I'm going to call him that too going forward.)
Tae Kyun reports that he found a virus in the Kang Seo Ra sex video that was used in the DDoS attack on Sekang. The Dae Young group must have made the video to and inserted the virus. Upon hearing this, Ki Hyun springs into action. He plans to catch the uploaders of the video, which he hopes will lead him right to the Dae Young group. Ki Hyun an Kang Mi visit various internet cafes from where the uploads took place. Ki Hyun suspects the hackers might have a different agenda in mind besides a DDoS attack. We see Vans Man breaking into the home of No Shin Il in the middle of the night.
Hyuk Joo goes to old office of True Story. He runs into Seung Yeon there. Seung Yeon thinks Ki Hyun is hiding something. Ki Hyun told Seung Jae the real Hyo Jung killer was still alive and already knew Seung Yeon's name the first time they met. Hyuk Joo offers to give her info on Ki Hyun in exchange for the password to Ki Young's computer. Seung Yeon tells him the pass word is "SINCE1999". Hyuk Joo goes to Woong Jin in the evidence lab with this new tip. It's not the correct password.
Kang Mi spots a Miss K video uploader at an internet cafe. When the suspect overhears that Kang Mi is a detective, he makes a run for it. She chases after him. He attempts to hide in another internet cafe but ends up running into Ki Hyun.
Vans man contacts Wang Ji Wi to remind him that the attack their planning must give the appearance of DDoS attack. It seems Ki Hyun was right. They are planning something big.
Ki Hyun and Kang Mi have the uploader contact a member of the Dae Young group. He uses the excuse of needing an advance in pay. Ki Hyun inserts a code that turns on the webcam and snaps a photo of the room. Dam Sa Myung notices what's going on and closes the laptop. He orders everyone to pack up and move to a new location.
Ki Hyun and Kang Mi analyze the photo. Because the boss is in the photo, Ki Hyun concludes they're planning something big. Ki Hyun notices the date June 12 and 9am written on a board in the background. Back at headquarters, Tae Kyun realizes that the real DDoS attack is set for June 12 at 9am. They inform Director Jun who then calls for an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Ki Hyun discloses that the Dae Young is in Korea. What they're planning might not be a DDoS attack. Hyuk Joo openly wonders how Ki Hyun got this intel. Ki Hyun stays quiet. The meeting concludes and everyone prepares for a possible DDoS attack.
The cyber team brief various targets, including Hyun Min and Sekang Securities, about the possibility of a DDoS attack. Hyuk Joo goes into Ki Hyun's office and enters the password "SINCE1999" into the computer. Much to Hyuk Joo's surprise, the password is correct.
The TAG bank is the first to get hit with a DDoS attack. From there, the cyber team is flooded with calls from various institutions about a DDoS attack.
Ki Hyun goes off searching for the Dae Young group hideout. Once he finds it, he looks around for evidence. He spots something that's been erased from the board. He immediately fills it in. The date June 12 is the same but the time is 9:30am.
Kang Mi goes to the home of No Shin Il. His wife thinks she's there about a recent robbery in which some of her jewelry was stolen. Kang Mi gets a call from Ki Hyun. The DDoS attack attack at 9am is just a decoy. The Dae Young group are planning a Stuxnet attack. After seeing a photo of Mr. No on the shelf, Kang Mi asks his wife what he does for a living. He works on the security team for an electrical company. Ki Hyun and Kang Mi fear that might be the real target. We see No Shin Il go to work and insert a usb with the Stuxnet virus.
Ki Hyun rushes to the parking lot. He's about to get in his car but is stopped by Hyuk Joo. He's there to arrest Ki Hyun for the murder of Hyo Jung. Ki Hyun attempts to warn Hyuk Joo of the impending doom at the electrical company but Hyuk Joo thinks he's lying.
Back at the electrical company, the system begins to go haywire. The lights of parking lot Ki Hyun and Hyuk Joo are in go out. Power starts to go out in other parts of the metropolitan area as well.
---------------------------------------------------------
Some of the summary might not be in the correct order. As I mentioned before, this drama is tough to summarize. I hope you'll all understand if some of it doesn't make sense.
We finally know the identity of our villain. It'll be interesting to see what happens between him and Ki Hyun.
I find it hard to believe the cyber team couldn't crack a password. It doesn't matter how secure your password is, a hacker will eventually get in. It'll just take them a while. If Woong Jin had said he couldn't get in because the HD was encrypted, that I would believe. High level encryption is literally impossible to crack. Even for the FBI.
