National security does not allow any luck, let alone the erosion of any selfish desires. Recently, national security agencies have discovered that staff members of an important sensitive department, driven by personal gain and disregarding the law, have openly stolen and sold important sensitive materials, posing serious risks and hidden dangers to our national security. Greed and corruption of position: Self theft caused trouble. Gao, as a warehouse manager of a classified unit in the country, should have fulfilled his duties, protected national assets, and strictly guarded state secrets as an employee. However, during his tenure, he discovered that there were classified specialized equipment stored in the warehouse. Driven by greed, he even had the idea of illegally selling it for profit. He believed that the quantity of materials in the warehouse was huge and a small amount of missing items would not be noticed, so he took advantage of his position to monitor and steal, and illegally sold them through online platforms. Luck brings disaster: After the East Window was exposed, Gao was unable to escape. Unexpectedly, his illegal transaction went "exceptionally smoothly" and he quickly obtained a "large order" worth tens of thousands of yuan. Having tasted the sweetness, Gao became increasingly audacious in a short period of time, stealing hundreds of specialized equipment from the warehouse and related information of some equipment (later identified as containing state secret level information), illegally profiting hundreds of thousands of yuan. Their illegal possession and sale of classified equipment constitutes a serious breach of confidentiality and poses a direct and real threat to our national security. Shortly after, the staff of the unit discovered a serious shortage of materials during routine inventory checks in the warehouse and immediately reported it to the local national security agency. After investigation, Gao's repeated theft of classified materials has been gradually identified. Gao, who had a premonition that something had been exposed, hurriedly contacted the buyer in an attempt to refund and retrieve some of the items, but his remorse at this moment was of no use. In the end, Gao was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison and fined RMB 100000 by the court; At the same time, it was ordered to compensate the original unit for economic losses of over 600000 yuan. The national security agency warned that Gao's behavior, on the surface, was a theft for personal gain, but in essence, it was a blatant violation of national laws and regulations, and more directly endangered national security. The outcome will inevitably be severe punishment by the law. Regardless of the position, as long as the work involves state secret carriers or sensitive information, one should have a high degree of political consciousness and confidentiality awareness, and consciously abide by national confidentiality laws and regulations and the confidentiality provisions of the unit. We must be aware that state secrets are not trivial, and any negligence or lucky mentality may cause irreparable losses. Be vigilant at all times, resolutely resist various temptations, strictly abide by confidentiality commitments, and fulfill confidentiality obligations effectively. Do not touch the high voltage line of the law due to a momentary lapse of thought or greed, which may lead to lifelong regret. If people find suspicious clues, they can report to the local national security authorities directly through the 12339 national security organ reporting acceptance telephone, the online reporting platform (www.12339. gov.cn), the WeChat official account of the Ministry of National Security, or the reporting acceptance channel.
