Phishing attacks

A massive number of cybersecurity companies are reporting an increasing number of attacks, especially phishing attacks. Criminals in China, Russia, and North Korea were the most active. Hackers send information about the coronavirus, hoping that the victims will click on the link provided where their computers will be attacked. The main targets of the attacks are in the US, Europe, and Iran. Experts say criminals have funded the entire campaign and run it through social networks and email. They try to attack not only individual users’ computers but also machines belonging to companies. Attempts to encourage companies to transfer money to fight the epidemic or convince them to change banks have noticed. Criminals are trying to steal e-mail login details, social networking sites, or take control of users’ computers. False virus and epidemic messages are sent, as well as information about refunds of overpaid tax and various extraordinary actions taken in connection with a pandemic.
