The Golden Goose: The Company that Continues Raking Money
In the world of technology, it is rare to find a company that consistently creates products that take the market by storm. But one company has defied the odds, and that is Gaia Technology.
It all started with the release of bugZapper, an internet security software that quickly became the go-to product for people who wanted to keep their devices safe. Its success was unprecedented, and it paved the way for Gaia Technology to become a leader in the internet security market.
But the company was not content to stop there. They went on to release GAIA OS, an operating system that shook the personal device market to its core.
The GAIA OS was so good that it immediately replaced the existing operating systems of many devices, regardless of the manufacturer\'s attempts to prevent it.
Gaia Technology seemed to have a knack for entering the market with a bang and taking it over immediately with their superior products.
And the best part? They followed up their initial releases with premium versions that were even better, leading to a large number of users upgrading to the premium versions.
This has allowed Gaia Technology to have a substantial amount of passive income every month. They haven\'t reinvented anything new, but whatever market they enter, they become the leader in it.
Despite their undeniable success, many companies have tried to buy Gaia Technology. Some have even offered a staggering 156 billion dollars for the company.
However, Gaia Technology continues to not accept these buying offers, showing that they value their company higher than that.
One thing is for sure, Gaia Technology has become the golden goose of the technology world, continuously creating innovative and superior products that keep them at the top of their game.
They have built a reputation for themselves as a company that consistently produces high-quality products that people cannot resist.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Gaia Technology, but one thing is certain, despite being founded just a few months ago, they have become a force to be reckoned with in the technology world, and their success shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Aron could be seen in the workroom reading the article on his computer after Nova informed him about it.
While he was reading Nova suddenly interrupted.
[Sir we received a ping from the trojans.]
"Didn\'t we send just one? How did it become trojans?" He asked, assuming Nova had made a mistake \'Looks like I need to look at her code for a mistake\' he thought.
[If it was copied then the trojan will also be copied too]Nova explained why he said it was more than one.
"Go on" He said as he nodded, agreeing to the explanation.
[Well the first trojan was copied by what i suspect is one of DOD\'s data centers although no data was sent through it, it informed me that it is working on replicating itself and infiltrating all the systems it can, But since trying to do that while communicating with us might lead to it getting caught, it informed us that it is going radio silence until it finds a secure way to reach us without risking being found out.]
"How about the other." Aron asked after digesting the information.
[The other one seemed to reach us through a proxy because it is in an air gap system.]
"Then how did it reach us?" Aron asked as he was curious about how smart the trojan made by the system was.
[It reprogramed the video graphics card so that it became a radio frequency transmitter receiver, through that it managed to hitch a ride in one of the phones in the facility and waited until it reached a place where there is an internet connection then it established communications with us for a short period to avoid detection.]
Aron was quite impressed by the trojans ingenuity, as it found their system\'s weakness and it used it against them.
"What info did it send in that period?" Aron asked with excitement on his face.
[From the analysis of the information I received, it seems like it is not one of DOD\'s black sites. The information indicates that it is a black site funded privately.]
"So you want to say someone is colluding with the government in order to access BugZapper\'s source code?" He asked in surprise as he wasn\'t expecting that at all.
[Yes it seems so, and it is highly likely that he/she is someone in the higher ups of the DOD for them to receive and hand it over in a few days after we handed it over to the DOD.]
"List the people who might have access to it and are capable of copying it without any suspiciousness"
[Here is the suspect list]
Nova said as the screen in front of Aron Started listing potential suspects.

"Holy shiiiiiiiit!!!!!! That is a long ass list."
[It is long because they are all capable of having access to the source code and copy it without raising suspicions.
We can reduce the list by looking through their schedule and other things.
But we will have to wait for the trojan1 to have the entire network of DOD under his control for us to have access to their schedules
Or hope that trojan2 finds a reliable and secure way of communicating with us. This will be the easiest way but it the most hopeless one ]
"How long will trojan one take to have the entire DOD systems under him."
[It is difficult to estimate it because we don\'t know the size of their system but anyway from a month or more.]
"Okay, continue keeping an eye on them and inform me of anything important."
Aron continued talking with Nova until he was interrupted by Henry who abruptly entered the room.
"Brother I\'m back" Henry said.
"Yeah. How was school?" Aron asked while turning to Henry.
"Nothing much because winter break is nearing." Henry said without hiding his anticipation of a break from school.
"Do you want to go somewhere during the break?" Aron asked his excited brother.
"Can we go to Disneyland?" Henry replied the moment he understood the question without wasting any second.
"Okay i will ask mom, if she agrees we can go together or you can ask her first."
"I will ask" Henry said and immediately left the room without even closing the door.
"Hah" Aron stood up and went to close the door.
After he closed the door Nova asked him.
[Are you going on vacation as you wait for the private investigators results?]
"Yeah. I need to spend some time with my family before the plan seriously starts, as during that period I won\'t be home for a long period of time."
