COVID-19 related attacks
Our international partners are seeing an increase in reports of cyber criminals using the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic to carry out opportunities online scams and malicious cyber activity.
This includes attempts to use the COVID-19 pandemic to trick people into:
- download malware from COVID-19 maps, or
- enter their details into phishing websites.
A small number of reports of a COVID-19 phishing campaign have been reported to CERT NZ. The phishing emails claim to include ‘an update on COVID-19 cases in your city’. These emails are not legitimate, and instead are an attempt to steal personal information. If you receive a similar email, report it to CERT NZ.
