Greetings Cyber Defenders,
We hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound, in today’s corona-ridden world.
With coronavirus-themed cyber-attacks skyrocketing, we are facing one of the largest cybersecurity challenges of our time.
Opportunistic cyber criminals are seeking to take advantage of the chaos, with targeted COVID-19 attacks such as:
- Phishing scams that capitalize on victims’ COVID-19 fear, to deploy ransomware
- Criminals disguising themselves as WHO to steal money or sensitive information
- Web conference hijacking
- Strain on infrastructure services as numerous workers become remote
- DDoS on VPN & authentication systems
- Two factor-authentication (2FA) bypass attacks
We believe there is hope after all, if existing defensive technologies are deployed properly.
Please see our blog post below, to see what ArcSight offers to help defend against COVID-19-themed cyber-attacks.
