Griffin realizes that not even his daughter or wife was aware she was kidnap for a few hours.

In the next month Griffin find a way to be moved to a different location in the country and silently keeps on his teacher job.

A year after, once the home router business of “Telco” has close to 90% of the market and that “+Bank” has also accomplish the use of home banking, the worm is lunched, bots, mass mailers, etc…

Since the fraud is to happen very fast, all accounts are to be wipe in seconds, having the target bank to be diverted among several offshore banks, hard to trace and to pursuit due to legal implications among countries.

The worm catches the eye of all major security companies, but it’s to late, the wiping of the accounts has taken effect.

Mr. Marco Lucio, a well know respected engineer of the “Telco” business, has grave the attention due to all the law suits against the “+Bank”, starts to review the situation and decides to contact one of his best friends from school , to help him with the situation.

In his ingenuity Griffin, had a worm of the worm to allow him to kept track of all transactions to be made when the worm launches, this tracking was to be kept in secret at a server in Europe, so now he and Marco are to obtain the information from the server, hiding the prior knowledge he had of this.

What he was not counting on is the fact that the “MURO”, has hire personnel to keep track of Griffin whereabouts and that his family was in danger.

He needed to find evidence of the perpetrators and nail them as fast as possible.
