At the global headquarters of Samsung Electronics in Seoul, the emergency C-suite conference room was gripped by a tense, suffocating silence.
It was 2:30 AM local time. Sitting around the long obsidian table were the Chief Executive Officer, the Head of the MX (Mobile eXperience) Business Division, the Chief Technology Officer, and the Lead Legal Counsel.
On the massive wall display before them sat an official email that had bypassed months of unanswered corporate outreach, landing directly into their highest-level enterprise inboxes.
"Has the IT security division confirmed the cryptographic routing?" the CEO asked, his voice low and tight.
"Verified multiple times," the CTO answered, his eyes fixed on his laptop. "The PGP signatures match the official public keys Nova Technologies used for the space station launch document."
The CEO leaned forward, resting his hands on the table. "Read the text. Every single word."
