Cybersecurity firm Cynet today revealed new data, showing that the Coronavirus now has a significant impact on information security and that the crisis is actively exploited by threat actors.
In light of these insights, Cynet has also shared a few ways to best prepare for the Coronavirus derived threat landscape and provides a solution to protect employees that are working from home with their personal computers because of the Coronavirus.
Cynet's global threat telemetry from the recent three weeks reveals that Italy features a sharp spike in phishing attacks in comparison to other territories, indicating that attackers are hunting in full force for user credentials.
Correlating the two spikes validates that attackers are actively exploiting the Coronavirus derived havoc.
As a breach protection platform, Cynet introduces a dedicated offering tailored to the new Coronavirus related cyber risks.
