Cybercriminals use the Corona Panic  [17.03.20]

For several hours now, websites have been circulating that claim to display coronavirus infections in real time.

The "corona map" on these websites loads malware onto affected PCs in the background in order to steal access data and especially passwords.

The CERT BWL (Cyber Defence Baden-Württemberg) is convinced that the corona epidemic is particularly suitable in this respect, as there is a high level of attention, particularly among government authorities.

It is assumed that this will be used for criminal activities in the coming weeks.

Please remain particularly sensitive in the coming days and weeks and only open indispensable websites or e-mails.
