On September 12, 2016 (August 12, 2016 in the lunar calendar), the Ali mooncake incident. Alibaba broke major news. Four employees were directly fired for using "little tricks" to grab mooncakes. On the same day, news spread that the actual participants in the "mooncake grabbing" incident were five people. And this last "mysterious figure" is a senior employee of Alibaba Group. Today, the fifth employee finally surfaced. On the evening of September 14, an internal letter written by Jiang Fang, chief human resources officer of Alibaba Group, to employees circulated online. The letter reviewed Alibaba's management's pre-and-post-review of the "mooncake incident" and determined that the five employees involved in the mooncake incident were all fired. Inside the Ali mooncake incident, rumors have surfaced that the fifth employee was fired. On September 12, 2016, four students from the Security Department and one student from the Alibaba Cloud security team used script code to publicly kill mooncakes. 133 boxes of mooncakes were completed in seconds. After very candid communication with the above students, Chief Risk Officer Liu Zhenfei and Alibaba Cloud President Hu Xiaoming made a decision to persuade the above students to quit. This is not an easy decision to make, nor is it a decision that can be understood by all parties. This decision has once again made the company the eye of public opinion." The above is from Jiang Fang's internal letter to employees. The fifth employee surfaced. Do you remember the news of the mooncake incident previously posted by Lei Feng? Brother Dao, who was in charge of Alibaba Cloud's security team at the time, said,"The remaining one belongs to Alibaba Cloud, not the group's security department. Alibaba Cloud's handling results are still under discussion. Please don't over-interpret it." Shortly after the announcement of the above-mentioned Ali internal open letter, Brother Dao posted a circle of friends: "Ye Min is in my mind the first person in the entire 'former' Alibaba group (including ants) in security attack and defense technology. My right-hand man is destined to be promoted to p10 in the future. In a sense, it is also the wealth of this country. Now it's cheaper for you security companies. speechless." There is no heartache in his words. In the face of Ali's strong values, these all require concessions. Just a few hours ago, someone joked in Ye Min's circle of friends,"Are you the fifth?" Ye Min responded "Yes". Ye Min is a joker. Outside people wouldn't take it seriously until she saw Ali's internal Xinhe and Brother Dao's circle of friends. At this point, the fifth employee confirmed to be Ye Min. Who is Ye Min? "Former" Ali Yundun's security technology leader. In the history of Lei Feng. com, the chief writer of Lei Feng. com, he has interviewed and reported Ye Min-since joining Ali in 2010, he has witnessed cloud computing go from walking alone to a million soldiers; he has also witnessed the transformation of hackers outside the city of cloud computing from scattered soldiers to assembled into an army. You may only know that Taobao accounts for most of China's e-commerce companies, but you may not know that 30% of the country's websites are on Alibaba Cloud. However, Ye Min's Alibaba Yundun team has only eight people. One can imagine his abilities and responsibilities. "When a visitor appears, we can immediately produce an IP portrait that includes all his attributes, whether he has committed malicious behavior in history, and what his usual attack methods are. By analyzing his access behavior and combining it with current business, we can determine the attacker's intentions, whether he wants to pull data or control the server. and prevent this from happening in a timely manner. "Ye Min once told Lei Feng. com two months ago that we could achieve such a scene without too long. However, the results are sad. If you are interested in learning more about Ye Min, you can check out this article "Character History| Aliyun Ye Min: The "Robocop" who manufactures cybersecurity. Where will Ye Min go next for what he has no time to achieve at Alibaba Cloud? In disguise, there may be a bigger platform waiting for him. As Brother Dao said, such a big technology giant and national talent has really benefited a certain security company. "Thank you for your concern, but there are too many messages and I will reply one by one. (Regarding the matter of looking for a job, I appreciate it, but I haven't thought about it yet.)" In the early morning of September 15, Ye Min said so in her circle of friends. The fifth employee dismissed from the Ali mooncake incident surfaced. This morning, Ye Min updated her circle of friends: For more than 6 years, she had not heard anything outside the window, devoted herself to technology, and never said anything bad about the company in public., turned around and became the fifth employee expelled from the Ali mooncake incident. In the reply to the article, Ye Min said: After publishing it, he actually wanted to shed tears. It makes people feel a little distressed. Attached is the full text of Jiang Fang's internal letter to employees. On September 12, four students from the Security Department and one student from the Alibaba Cloud security team used script code to "instantly" 133 boxes of mooncakes during an internal activity to publicly kill mooncakes. After Chief Risk Officer Liu Zhenfei and Alibaba Cloud President Hu Xiaoming had very candid (local) communication with the above students, the company made a decision to persuade the above students to quit. This is not an easy decision to make, nor is it a decision that can be understood by all parties. This decision has once again made the company the eye of public opinion. From the company's intranet, Weibo WeChat, Zhihu, we have been watching various concerns and discussions on this matter. Today, the group spent 4 hours reviewing and discussing this matter. Xiaoyao Zi, Dai Shan, Xing Dian, Zhenfei, Guo Jing, Wang Jian, Wang Shuai, Teacher Ma and I all participated. In the end, we chose to support Zhenfei and Xiaoming's decision. We read and heard feedback from all walks of life, and we also reviewed and reflected on what work we had not done well before and after making this decision, which caused many colleagues to worry that we were too paranoid about adhering to our values. It will harm the culture of tolerance that encourages innovation. To be honest, we also argued, struggled and felt uncomfortable. Many people ask why we deal with it so severely? Because Ali is a company that truly delegates power to every ordinary secondary school, the basis for delegation of power is the instinctive trust between the organization and employees. Only a team based on trust can go long-term and fight tough battles. Because only authorization can serve customers well and make quick and effective decisions based on customer needs faster. But we must repeatedly remind ourselves to treat the power in our hands well, to cherish the trust of others in us and our talents as we cherish our own eyes, let alone our security department colleagues who take attacking and defending Internet corruption and anti-cheating as their own responsibility. We will continue to fully trust and empower our colleagues in the future. In this process, we may also make some decisions that will put the company into the eye of the storm, because we are not doing it for others to see, but respecting everyone's mutual trust and consistent philosophy, and following the original intention and original intention of doing things. Companies, like people, are imperfect. We are very lucky that we have done every little thing right with our hearts, and we have today's influence. In the future, if we cannot maintain a sense of awe, but put our own convenience and benefits as the primary consideration, then it will also be One seemingly insignificant little thing that deconstructs and defeats everyone's struggles. Sometimes it is often unintentional, but it brings results that no one is willing to face. This kind of result is the most helpless. Sending his companions away on a full moon night should be the biggest regret of this Mid-Autumn Festival. I sincerely hope and believe that the setbacks in this career and life journey can make these young people want to go farther and more practical. Every colleague at Alibaba should also understand it more because the journey is long and the responsibility is heavy. Only by learning to restrain our desires, respect our abilities, and respect the power in our hands can we afford the trust and trust of hundreds of millions of customers.
