Everybody's concerned about it. Not only has it been declared a pandemic, but it's caused markets to crash and of course now, internet scammers are taking advantage of this. So something for businesses everywhere to be aware of, to warn their employees about right away, something to jump on is this huge instance of coronavirus-laced emails that include everything from keystroke loggers to malware that gets installed on a person's computer. As an example, some of these emails come from what appear to be the World Health Organization with either solutions for the coronavirus or important information and contain an attachment to click on. Other emails contain things that say something like, "Secret cure for the coronavirus," or fake internal emails from the organization's president on the coronavirus. In this current climate, every company is sending out emails almost daily or every other day about the risks of coronavirus and how to stay sanitary and how to avoid catching it and what to do if you want to be tested. This is what these emails are taking advantage of. One of the things that's happened recently, is a DDoSs attack, a denial of service attack on the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Fortunately, their website stayed up throughout the attack, but this happened on March 16th.

Be on the lookout for malware. Take all the precautions you normally would. Don't open an email if you don't literally know who it's from. Check the email address in the from line before you open an attachment or an email and make sure that it's got the right domain extension.
