Security News > 2020 > April > Beware of fake COVID-19-themed emails from President Trump

As US citizens wait for President Trump's final decision about whether quarantine will be over by Easter, malware peddlers have already "Decided": quarantine will be prolonged until August 2020.

Researchers with anti-phishing startup Inky have spotted two phishing emails purportedly coming from the White House, "Signed" by President Trump.

This particular page, located on a compromised Russian site, has been taken down, but it's easy for criminals to set up new ones and change links in the phishing emails.

In addition to these emails, Inky has also detected an email purportedly coming from Vice President Mike Pence.

This one is not COVID-19-themed and does not contain a link.
