For this article I would like to focus on a different area of the report which covered the affects of the Covid-19 pandemic on phishing.<\/p>\n<p>Phishing has been a regularly used threat by malicious actors for many years. Prior to the global Covid-19 pandemic, actors used the latest news topics and events in their attacks. We saw phishing emails based on the Olympics, election cycles, disasters, and other news. However, these were transitory and only allowed the cybercriminals to utilize the information for a short period of time. The pandemic has created them an unlimited supply of news and topics to utilize in their attacks. Examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>\u2043Infection numbers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u2043Death tolls<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u2043Work from home information<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u2043Vaccination information<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since all of these were constantly changing with new information coming out on a daily basis, the malicious actors had the ability to use this information to better target their victims. The other aspect was their ability to spoof many of the major organizations dealing with the pandemic, like the WHO, UNESCO, the USA CDC, and many of the pharmaceutical manufacturers which violated the trust factor many people had with these organizations. We saw spam, phishing emails, business email compromise (BEC), drive-by downloads, and other threats all utilizing Covid related themes in their attacks. Many of these attacks target employees in attempts to gain access to the corporate network. When the pandemic hit, many employees shifted to working from home, yet the attacks didn\u2019t diminish. Many organizations struggled (and still do) to secure their employee\u2019s home environment.<\/p>\n<p>As the Osterman research shows:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c72% of organizations believed they lack effectiveness at securing employees\u2019 home infrastructure and preventing it from being a conduit for cyberattacks into the corporate network.\u201d This shows that after over 1 year of dispersed workforce, organizations still don\u2019t feel confident in remote work security. This makes me wonder if we were to experience another pandemic situation, would we be better prepared?<\/p>\n<p>The report also mentions the Threat Forecast, which predicts the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>\u2043Phishing Continues<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u2043Ransomware Intensifies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u2043Targeted &amp; timed for maximum (devastating) effect<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We\u2019ve also released an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/21\/f\/looking-ahead--the-post-pandemic-security-landscape.html\">article<\/a> that discusses the post pandemic security landscape that can help you understand what may come next. Suffice to say, organizations will continue to be targeted with phishing and other related threats that use the latest news, events, disasters, etc. To combat these threats, organizations can do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Implement an organization-wide security awareness program that regularly trains and educates all employees of phishing and other threats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Revisit their email and web security solutions to ensure they are using the latest iterations and have enabled many of the advanced detection technologies that can detect phishing threats<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Implement strong account credential protection including multi-factor authentication to protect stolen account credentials via phishing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more from the from Osterman Research,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.trendmicro.com\/Osterman-Email-Security-WP.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Reduce the Risk of Phishing and Ransomware<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Read More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/21\/g\/reduce-instances-of-covid-19-phishing-email-attacks.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Covid-19 pandemic has created an unlimited supply of news and topics for cybercriminals to utilize in their attacks, as well as major organizations to spoof.
