On May 25, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 group, said on Weibo that the reason why a large number of attacks on the firewall are difficult to prevent is that they can't stop emails, especially those seemingly normal emails in the name of the unit, which may be subjected to malicious network attacks**

Zhou Hongyi said that for example, if the e-mail marked "this year's salary increase list" and "this year's list of people to be promoted", and then made into excel tables or PDF and word documents, people would be tempted to click on it.
Recently, # all employees of Sohu suffered from wage subsidy fraud # boarded the microblog hot search, and the online wechat group chat record showed that all employees of Sohu received an email with the domain name belonging to the company and named "employee wage subsidy notice in May". A large number of employees scanned the code according to the Attachment requirements and filled in the bank account number and other information. In the end, not only did they not wait for the so-called subsidy, but also the balance in the wage card was transferred.
Zhang Chaoyang, CEO of Sohu, responded that things were not as serious as you thought. After discovery, the technology department did emergency treatment. The total amount of stolen money was less than 50000 yuan and did not involve personal mailboxes for public services.
Subsequently, the official response of Sohu said that an employee of the company was accidentally phished when using e-mail, which led to the disclosure of password and was posing as the finance department to steal e-mail. At present, he is waiting for the progress of police investigation and processing results.
