Is the picture of "WeChat Red Envelope" a very violent virus?I was rumored 6 years ago

Recently, a number of netizens asked the Shanghai rumor platform, and whether the news of the "Moon 16 Circle with the WeChat Red Envelope" cover 15 is true. After verification, this was a rumor that appeared 6 years ago and was clarified at the time. As of now, WeChat has not found virus pictures that can steal all information in the mobile phone.

WeChat picture no virus

Personally will not issue public security notices

From the screenshot, the rumors of this dissemination are consistent with the theme of spreading 6 years ago. The wording is basically the same, and only a little word is different. For example, the rumors of 6 years ago were "Emergency Notice at 06:00 in the evening at 06:00 in the morning" to "from tomorrow until August 15th Mid -Autumn Festival Emergency Notice"; The moon is 16 rounds "; the so -called" Criminal Investigation Captain: Guo Yuhao "was changed to" Municipal Criminal Investigation Captain: Hou Jigang "and so on. The above changes have not changed the characteristics of the rumored statement and irregular words, let alone the essence of this rumor -as early as 6 years ago, WeChat officially issued a statement, pointing out that the WeChat red envelope picture has viruses. Essence

2016 rumor version

The Shanghai rumor platform noticed that in addition to the rumors provided by netizens, the rumor has appeared several versions, which is also the main content, but individual words have changed. Criminal Investigation Captain Zhu Jian "" Zhang Qibin, the captain Zhang Qibin "," Public Security Department Economic Insurance Division "and other versions. In this regard, the public security department has also reminded netizens that the public security department will publish information through regular channels such as official Weibo and official WeChat, and the announcements issued will be issued in the name of the unit, which will not be published in the name of personal.

The picture that can be displayed is not worried

Can't open the files that can't be opened easily

Why would a rumor 6 years ago spread again? Some netizens are not excluded that some netizens are worried about being stolen by the dissemination of the picture. But for this issue, netizens don't have to worry too much, because I have not found WeChat pictures that can steal all the information in the mobile phone, and the pictures that can be displayed directly in WeChat contain no virus.

From a technical point of view, if you want to invade users' mobile phones and steal personal information through pictures, videos, etc., it means that the "fishing" program is implanted in pictures and videos, which has high technical difficulty.

When spreading files through WeChat, the relevant files need to be screened and filtered by WeChat, not all files read directly. The pictures, videos, and even emoticons that can be read often ends with ".jpg", ". AVI", ".gif", which corresponding to single maps, videos, and moving pictures, which can be browsed directly in WeChat. If it is not such files, WeChat can often only display the original name of the file instead of directly presenting the content of the file.

For users, if it is a direct display of pictures, videos, emoticons, etc., there will be no attack procedures. You can rest assured that you can browse and forward it. The mobile phone will not be poisoned.

But if you see the original name of the file, you must keep your heart, and it is not recommended to click or open the files and links of unknown sources. Such files do not rule out fishing procedures, induced users to enter personal information or start the Trojan virus through clicking the link.
