How Google is combatting coronavirus-related cyberthreats
2020-06-11 13:32

A blog post published Wednesday by Google explains what the company is doing to fight coronavirus-related attacks and what users can do to protect themselves as well.

Implementing proactive monitoring for COVID-19-related malware and phishing emails, Google said that most of the observed threats are not new but are simply repackaged malicious campaigns designed to exploit all the attention on the coronavirus.

Using artificial intelligence, the protection set up by Google automatically tries to detect new trends and attacks.

Looking across the world, Google has spotted an increase in coronavirus-related malware, phishing messages, and scams in India, Brazil, and the UK in particular.

Though Google is striving to combat these coronavirus-related scams and attacks, users of the company's apps and services also need to take steps to protect themselves.
