Delhi Police releases list of ‘potentially dangerous’ coronavirus-related websites

The Delhi police’s cybercrime unit on Wednesday released a list of Covid-19 related websites that it had deemed ‘potentially dangerous.’

Hackers have been increasingly cashing in on the global coronavirus pandemic by spreading malware through email, websites and apps designed to look like helpful Covid-19 related resources.

The cybercrime cell had earlier shared a CNN news piece on the same on Twitter.

“Apply caution while handling emails/links about #CoronavirusPandemic. Cyber Security Firms have reported that cybercriminals are using COVID-19 pandemic to: spread malware, launch spear-phishing campaigns, launch Business Email Compromise attacks,” DCP Cybercrime wrote on Twitter captioning the CNN report.
