Offices and units, quick check! Overseas organizations are able to access confidential documents directly through Word or PDF files.

Sina Finance News on March 31st: In daily office work in government agencies and units, receiving emails and browsing documents are basic daily tasks. But have you ever thought that a seemingly ordinary DOC or PDF document may be carrying malicious code to steal secrets? Online espionage is everywhere, and Word, PDF, and other daily office documents have long been tools for overseas organizations to steal secrets. Typical cases in recent years have repeatedly proven that a single careless click or lucky operation by government and unit employees could lead to the complete loss of national secrets and work secrets. Not only will they face disciplinary action under party discipline and government affairs, but those involved in serious cases will also bear criminal responsibility. All government agencies and units must raise their political awareness, strengthen the implementation of confidentiality responsibilities; employees must tighten the string of confidentiality, be vigilant with every unfamiliar document, eliminate "leaks at their fingertips", jointly build a solid network security defense line, and protect national secret security. Increase risk awareness and prevent unfamiliar emails. Immediately disable the default macro execution function in Office software, only allowing trusted and signed macros to run; strictly prohibit opening Word documents in unfamiliar email attachments. If necessary, verify the sender's identity first, confirm there is no risk, disable the macro function, and then browse without clicking on "Enable Content". Be cautious of PDF traps and standardize the opening process. When receiving PDF files, check the file name extension first, be wary of double-extension files like "pdf.exe", and avoid opening them directly; open files with a legitimate PDF reader, enable the security mode to prevent embedded programs from running automatically. Do not accept PDF files from unfamiliar sources without a clear purpose, especially PDF attachments in compressed files.
