Summary: In today's digital age, scanning software has become a convenient tool due to its efficient text recognition and image-to-text conversion capabilities. However, lapses in confidentiality awareness among some individuals have led to the leakage of state secrets when using this technology. Recently, an employee of a government agency improperly used internet scanning software to scan classified meeting minutes; these files were automatically backed up to cloud storage and ultimately leaked overseas through brute force account cracking, resulting in a significant security breach.
Body: The article highlights several potential vulnerabilities: unprotected transmission paths, excessive permission requests, flaws in cloud storage, and the risk of malware disguised as legitimate software. It recommends measures to enhance vigilance and strengthen information security protections, including strict adherence to confidentiality regulations, careful selection of scanning software, control over software permissions, and improved data storage security. The article underscores everyone's responsibility in protecting sensitive information and calls for collective efforts to prevent leaks caused by scanning software.
