Google rolls out new website which focusses on Covid-19 security risks

Google on Friday rolled out a new website focussed on Covid-19 related security risks. The site will inform about online risks and scams and help users stay safe online.

The Google Threat Analysis Group continuously monitors for sophisticated hacking activity, and their security systems have detected a range of new scams such as phishing emails posing as messages from charities and NGOs battling COVID-19, directions from “administrators” to employees working from home, and even notices spoofing healthcare providers.With many of the COVID-19 related scams coming in the form of phishing emails, it’s important to pause and evaluate any COVID-19 related email before clicking any links or taking other action.
