Cybercriminals love a good crisis. So it’s no surprise that they jumped at the opportunity to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to exploit tens of millions of home-based workers who have provided new access points to malware, cyber viruses and phishing attacks. The attack surface for attackers has never been wider.

The assaults, of course, don’t stop here. Cybercriminals also use newly-implemented technologies to move to the next step and try to penetrate corporate systems.
