Stay Alert! Risk of Cyber Attack Looming for Government Departments and Agencies
With the COVID-19 pandemic on the rise, it’s time to remain alert in both ways- physical health-wise as well as cyber health-wise. The Indian Security Agencies have warned of a possible severe cyber-attack on 2 million Indian Email holders! The warning further states that this malicious group of cyber attackers has already initiated the campaign from June 21. A senior government official in the security department has sounded alert for a possible phishing campaign that primarily aims government agencies, departments, along with trading bodies that are assigned to overlook Government’s fiscal aid.
This warning comes ahead of the advisory issued by the Computer Emergency Response Team- India (CERT-In). The security agencies have warned that the Chinese cybercriminals are planning to carry out a massive phishing attack under cover of a free COVID-19 Test. The security agencies in the country have asked the Government agencies and associated bodies to stay alert against such cyberattacks.
Several cues have also been provided by these security agencies like an email id- ncov2019@gov.in and email subject lines like- “free Covid-19 testing for all residents of Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad”. The security agencies have also strongly emphasized to be alert for any sorts of malicious phishing emails, SMSs, and messages on social media channels that instigates the user to disclose any financial and personal information.
