Corona Virus Phishing Threat

The top trend all over the world is Corona Virus now of course. Countries are trying to solve this big problem but incidents numbers are still increasing. By this situation, everyone's first topic became Corona Virus. People spend their time at home, working as home office and of course watching and reading the latest situations about this infection. So, this trend topic became the top trend for the attackers too. While people are always searching for the latest news on internet, attackers already started to turn it into threat.

Too many articles have been published about this threat in the last few months. Today's top threat is phishing about Corona Virus. According to @SophosLabs;

"Of the more than 37,000 domains that have been registered since February, at least 1765 of them also use the word "test" in the domain name. While many of these registrations may just come from domain speculators, some may be scams and a few legitimate."

And @SophosLabs also mentioned that someone registered a domain for every US state, followed by "covidtest" and parked them. This shows us that we will see new phishing campaigns including covid test, against people who are worrying about their health and want to make test.
