Q2 Quarterly Threats and Vulnerabilities Report 2020

Threat Actors use Pandemic to target victims

As we continue to practice social distancing, people have retreated to their homes and are using technology for business communications. Scammers remain ever-present developing new schemes to benefit either financially or stealing personal identity. Victims who do not know about fraudulent emails are directed to fraudulent websites, to check if they are in contact with an infected person or to download malicious software which steals their personal information.

Perimeter security controls and intelligence based on Help AG Security Advisories have helped our MSS customers determine if they are potentially affected by phishing or fraudulent emails.
