整个世界都受到了新冠肺炎的影响，迫使各国经历了封锁，开辟了在家文化虚拟学习和工作的新天地。虽然在封锁之前可以使用虚拟学习和在线会议，但这些平台的使用已经增加。许多公众缺乏对使用这些平台的危险的认识，这使他们容易受到网络犯罪攻击-网络钓鱼、性虐待或言语虐待、前夜取笑等。封锁为网络犯罪分子提供了新的犯罪机会，有证据表明，在此期间，网络犯罪数量急剧增加。公众意识的缺乏导致无辜的人落入袭击者手中。由于大流行和随之而来的封锁令人惊讶，公共和私人当局缺乏机会为培训人员和确保这些平台的安全做出适当安排。毫无疑问，如果这些平台得到安全保护，那么它们将被证明是社会的一项资产，但要实现完全网络安全的目标，必须做很多工作。
The entire world has been impacted by Covid-19, which has forced the nations to undergo lockdowns, which have opened the new horizons of virtual learning and work from home culture. Though virtual learning and online meetings were available prior to the lockdowns, use of these platforms have intensified. There is a lack of awareness among many in the public concerning the perils of using these platforms which makes them susceptible to cyber-crime attacks phishing, sexual or verbal abuse, eve teasing etc. Lockdowns have provided cyber criminals with new criminal opportunities and evidence shows that there has been a rampant increase in the number of cyber-crimes during this period. Public lack of awareness has led to innocent people falling prey in the hands of attackers. Since the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns came as a surprise, public and private authorities lacked the opportunity to make appropriate arrangements for training people and making these platforms secure. There is no question that if these platforms are made secure, then they will prove to be as an asset to the society but much work must be done to achieve the goal of complete cyber security.
