To refute rumors, click on the link to receive the "2026 Comprehensive Subsidy"? Don't believe it, don't point it out
Details: Recently, some netizens reported receiving a “Comprehensive Subsidy Application Certification Notice.” The notice stated that “the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is conducting application certification for comprehensive subsidies such as maternity allowances, medical insurance subsidies, housing subsidies, etc.” You need to “click on the link and log in to the official website to receive the subsidy.” After clicking the link, the page that jumps to is very similar to the interface of the official website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, but it is actually a fraudulent website forged by criminals. In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security stated that the so-called "2026 Comprehensive Subsidy" has never been issued. The above notification is false information and suspected of fraud.
Important reminder:
The notice issued by the human resources and social security department will not allow you to provide personal information such as bank cards, passwords, and mobile phone verification codes.
If you accidentally encounter online fraud, keep chat records, transaction records and other relevant evidence materials, and immediately call 110 to call the police for help. (Source: "Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security" WeChat official account)
Debunking rumors that a mudslide occurred in Mianyang, Sichuan, cutting off a national highway and causing casualties? The news is false
Details: Recently, a netizen posted a post saying, "A mudslide broke off the national highway in Pingwu County, Mianyang, Sichuan, causing serious casualties, and rescuers filled the county." It was accompanied by a video of the mudslide, which aroused the attention of some netizens. It has been verified by the local transportation bureau that during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday in April 2026, all national highways in Pingwu will be open to traffic normally, and no large-scale mudslides and road closures will be reported. This news is purely a rumor.
After tracing the source, the video was found to be footage of geological disasters during flood seasons in previous years. This post fabricated and spread false information by copying old news and hyping it up with new ones, disrupting the order of the Internet, gaining traffic, and misleading the public. Netizens are hereby reminded that information related to emergencies should be subject to official and authoritative releases, and they should consciously do not believe, spread or create rumors, rationally identify online information, and jointly protect a clear cyberspace.

Is it a misunderstanding that if anti-virus software is installed on a mobile phone/computer, it is absolutely safe and will not cause poisoning?
Truth: This is a common misconception. Antivirus software can effectively protect against viruses that have been discovered, analyzed and recorded in virus databases. However, new threats are emerging in the online world every moment. When these new attack methods first appear, they are often not recognized by any anti-virus software. At this time, your device may still be infected. In addition, many cyber attacks do not rely on viruses, but use social tools and other means. For example, phishing emails and text messages sent by disguised as banks, express companies or government departments can induce users to click on malicious links or enter personal information. In this case, even if your device has anti-virus software, your account and private information may be stolen.
Therefore, in addition to installing necessary protective software, we must also improve information security awareness and develop good habits. For example, do not answer suspicious calls, do not click on suspicious links, do not receive suspicious emails, and regularly change passwords, etc. (Source: "Scientific Rumor Refutation" WeChat official account)
