外包保洁员主动投靠境外情报机关，造成重大失泄密！

随着经济社会的快速发展，服务外包成为众多单位优化资源配置、提升运营效率的重要手段。对于涉密机关、单位而言，服务外包在带来便利的同时，也暗藏着失泄密隐患。

▌疏于管理酿大案

A key secret-related unit outsourced its office building management to a property service company without necessary security oversight. 

The cleaning staff member surnamed Duan employed by the property service company, in order to satisfy personal desires, actively contacted foreign espionage intelligence agencies. Under the spies' instructions, Duan stole and secretly photographed documents, providing one classified-level and two confidential-level state secrets, along with six other intelligence items, to the foreign intelligence agencies. This resulted in a significant leak of confidential information, posing a serious threat to national security, according to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS).

▌审查不严有隐患

In another case, authorities found that a netizen was selling five classified documents on a document-sharing website. Upon investigation, it was found that the company involved did not possess the qualifications for the digitization of classified archives. But the company deceived multiple government agencies' archive management departments and contracted to handle the digitization of archive materials, according to the MSS. 

An employee from the company, surnamed Jiang, stole and copied dozens of classified documents from the archives and brought them home. In pursuit of personal gain, Jiang then posted several of these documents online for sale, leaking state secrets, said the MSS.

▌合围拉拢遭攻陷

Li is an operations and maintenance staff member at an e-mail system manufacturer, who has remote management and system administrator account privileges and is responsible for providing technical support for clients' e-mail systems, said the MSS. Li often records client account passwords and system administrator passwords on a personal computer for convenience. 

The overseas espionage intelligence agencies targeted Li and launched a cyberattack on Li's computer, stealing the clients' account password information stored on it. They then used the information to conduct espionage on the e-mail systems of more than 1,000 key departments through network pivots, obtaining a large amount of internal e-mail data from these critical departments, according to the MSS.

The MSS warned that potential leaks in service outsourcing must not be overlooked. Confidential agencies and institutions must maintain constant vigilance, strengthen management and preventive measures to ensure the security of state secrets.
