The number of coronavirus-themed attacks spiked significantly on Monday, a cybersecurity researcher reported. A wave of 2,500 infections of just two strains of malware were all delivered in COVID-19-themed emails between 10am and 5pm CET today, were discovered by Jiri Kropac, a researcher at cybersecurity company ESET. In the days before, the number of infections were only in the tens, he said.he thinks hackers are made up of two different groups, though he didn’t have any more information on either.
“This is the biggest Coronavirus or COVID-19-themed malware campaign we have registered so far. Cybercriminals often jump on the hot media topic, which Coronavirus really is,” Kropac said. “They’re using it for their profit.” He sent over one example phishing email, written in Spanish and attempting to trick a target into opening an attachment by promising information on vaccines.
