The statement said: In the early morning of May 18, some Sohu employees received fraudulent emails in their mailboxes. After investigation, it turned out that an employee was accidentally phished when using emails, which led to the leakage of passwords, and then the emails were spoofed by the finance department. After the incident, the company’s IT and security departments immediately dealt with the incident and reported the case to the public security organs. According to statistics, a total of 24 employees were defrauded of more than 40,000 yuan. The police’s investigation and results are currently pending.
