Cyberattacks continue to mount during COVID19 pandemic.

"Cybercriminals are using the pandemic for commercial gain, deploying a variety of ransomware and other malware.
Both APT groups and cybercriminals are likely to continue to exploit the COVID19 pandemic over the coming weeks and months. Threats observed include:

1. Phishing, using the subject of coronavirus or COVID19 as a lure,
2. Malware distribution, using coronavirus- or COVID19 themed lures,
3. Registration of new domain names containing wording related to coronavirus or COVID19, and
4. Attacks against newly—and often rapidly—deployed remote access and teleworking infrastructure.

APT groups are using the pandemic as part of their cyber operations. These cyber threat actors will often masquerade as trusted entities. Their activity includes using -themed phishing messages or malicious applications, often masquerading as trusted entities that may have been previously compromised." - U.S Department of Homeland Security.

The ongoing crisis have called only for many to continue their business operations from home in an age information security is paramount. It is only logical to think from cyber criminals’ perspective to use COVID-19 themed attacks around the world to exploit the vulnerabilities of home offices before everyone settles in. Most of these attacks falls under the theme social engineering; Phishing, Scareware, Pretexting, Baiting, and Tailgating. Some of the following examples shows how these campaigns are carried out;

• Offenders obtaining access to the systems of companies or other organizations by targeting home offices.
• Phishing and malware distribution through seemingly genuine websites or documents providing information or advice on COVID-19 are used to infect computers and extract user credentials.
• Ransomware targeting the mobile phones of individuals using apps that claim to provide genuine information on COVID-19 in order to extract payments.
• Fraud schemes where people are tricked into purchasing goods such as masks, hand sanitizers, but also fake medicines claiming to prevent or cure SARS-CoV-2.
• Misinformation or fake news are spread by trolls and fake media accounts to create panic, social instability and distrust in governments or in measures taken by their health authorities.
• Exploiting open redirect web addresses which are used to redirect users between a source website and a target site. Recently it was confirmed that an HHS.gov (website of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Service) is being utilized by attackers to deliver malware payloads onto systems with COVID-19 themed phishing emails.

With most of businesses adopting BYOD into their business employees tend to mix work and leisure activities in the same device which would only increase potential risks.
On an extreme measure Google even advised businesses to limit their website functionality or completely shut it down in preventing providing means for attackers.
