China warns of 'Mid-autumn' virus

China has warned the Internet users about a new virus, residing inside e-cards with the shape of a pastry cake being sent in large numbers on the coming Mid-Autumn Festival.

Last year, a deep wave of similar benefits to the Mid-Autumn Festival also caused serious consequences for China's Internet system.

Therefore, although September 25 is officially the Mid-Autumn Festival, but from the beginning of the month, Chinese authorities and security companies have been "highly alert" and scanned all abnormal signs.

As an indispensable traditional cake of Mid-Autumn Festival, the soft cake is always chosen as an icon image on every e-card sent on this occasion.

" Always scan files before downloading to your computer, " Quang Dong provincial Internet watchdog recommended.

Because the number of Internet users in China is too high, security awareness and knowledge is very thin, so outbreaks of computer viruses and worms often cause severe consequences. The most common form of computer virus spread is through chat tools.

" I am very easy to be attracted to e-cards received through QQ (a popular online chat application in China).

But each time it was opened, there were billions of malicious websites popping into the computer, "said Pan Yanyan, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Her hard drive was completely reformatted after the" virus trap "was centered. collected last year.

However, according to China Daily's comments, e-cards, however, are still more dangerous than real cakes in real life.

In Guangdong, only 70% of the cakes sold on the market meet the food hygiene and safety standards. This is the official information posted on the provincial Food Safety Department website.
