Phishing has been a common type of cyberattack for many years, but criminals are becoming savvier with their methods. Recently, we have seen a rise in phishing attacks and cybercriminals are using the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to instil fear into individuals. A growing trend is phishing attacks which aim to con people into giving away their sensitive information. A recent example of this has been emails and calls to elderly individuals in the UK promising them Covid-19 vaccines if they provide the personal data requested. In some cases the phishers obtained bank details and sensitive information. Other pandemic-related phishing scams include emails supposedly offering health advice or details on remote working.
