These phishing emails promise compensation, test results, and other lures about the coronavirus to trick unsuspecting users, says Armorblox.
With 2020 almost over, such email attacks continue merrily on.
In this one, the phishing email claimed that the recipient was due COVID compensation from the International Money Fund.
The subject of the email uses the recipient's first name followed by "COVID 19 Requirements" in an attempt to create fear and anxiety.
Engage with emails related to COVID in a circumspect and rational manner.
