The ongoing world pandemic caused by COVID19 has had a significant impact on cyber incidents and has led to a
sharp increase in cybercrime activity.
The shift of a large proportion of users to remote work has increased their use of ICT systems. The inadequate observance of
cyber-hygiene norms and low awareness has turned large parts of users into vulnerable groups, and the cybercriminals benefited
from it. Cybercriminals started phishing campaigns using social engineering and COVID19 related issues. They have created
fake online resources and content with the aim to infect users and spread malware.
