周四,联邦工作人员被一封主题为“电子邮件测试”的神秘电子邮件弄得措手不及
“这是对一个新的分发和响应列表的测试,”邮件中写道。
它包括一个名为“联邦政府电子邮件通信测试”的网页链接
“OPM正在测试一项新的功能,允许它通过一个电子邮件地址向所有联邦文职雇员发送重要信息。该网站称:“预计最早将于本周对这一信息系统功能进行测试。”。
这条信息在一周的过渡期内发送给了不同机构的工作人员,令收件人感到惊讶,包括一些人误认为是垃圾邮件,导致一些机构跟进与工作人员澄清。
消息来源告诉ABC新闻,白宫已经讨论测试一个信息系统唐纳德·特朗普可能会传达给联邦政府200多万文职雇员。
在一份声明中发布于X,OPM说:“联邦工作人员应该已经收到了测试OPM新通信能力的电子邮件。”
尚不清楚员工周四收到的电子邮件测试是否与特朗普向所有联邦工作人员发送信息的想法有关。
一名OPM发言人告诉ABC新闻,这是政府第一次能够给每个员工发电子邮件。
Trump administration testing system to message all federal workers
Federal workers were caught off guard Thursday by a mysterious email with the subject line "Email Test."
"This is a test of a new distribution and response list," the email read.
It included a link to a webpage titled "Federal Government-Wide Email Communication Test."
"OPM is testing a new capability allowing it to send important communications to ALL civilian federal employees in a single email address. Testing of this messaging system functionality is expected as soon as this week," the website states.
The message, sent to workers across different agencies in a week of transition, surprised recipients, including some who mistook it for spam, leading some agencies to follow up to clarify with staffers.
Sources told ABC News that the White House has discussed testing a message system where PresidentDonald Trumpcould message the federal government's more than 2 million civilian employees.
In a statementposted on X, OPM said: "Federal workers should have received an email testing OPM’s new communications capabilities."
It's unclear whether the email test employees received Thursday was associated with the idea of Trump messaging all federal workers.
An OPM spokesperson told ABC News this is the first time the government has been able to send emails to every employee.
