A report released on Tuesday by security company GreatHorn illustrates the ebb and flow of these attacks and offers advice on how organizations can fight them.
For its report, GreatHorn tracked the volume of COVID-19-related email phishing attacks from January, when the virus began to surface, until June, when many countries and companies slowly started to resume operations.
To remove all related phishing emails, security pros should look for any emails with the malicious URL, not just any one specific phishing attack.
Once you detect phishing attacks, identify and remove the emails across your organization.
Search your organization's emails beyond the initially detected phishing attacks based on the malicious variables to mass remediate and further refine email security policies.
