网络犯罪分子在不断寻找新的攻击载体，最近的新冠肺炎疫情也不例外。例如，社会距离措施导致旅行禁令、封锁和居家命令，从而增加了对Zoom等信息和通信技术的依赖。网络犯罪分子还试图利用这一流行病为广泛的恶意活动提供便利，例如试图接管在线会议/教育活动中使用的视频会议平台、信息窃取和其他欺诈活动。这项研究简要回顾了一些与新冠肺炎相关的恶意网络活动以及可能的缓解解决方案。我们还提出了攻击分类，这(乐观地)将有助于指导未来的风险管理和缓解响应。
Cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for new attack vectors, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. For example, social distancing measures have resulted in travel bans, lockdowns, and stay-at-home orders, consequently increasing the reliance on information and communications technologies, such as Zoom. Cybercriminals have also attempted to exploit the pandemic to facilitate a broad range of malicious activities, such as attempting to take over videoconferencing platforms used in online meetings/educational activities, information theft, and other fraudulent activities. This study briefly reviews some of the malicious cyber activities associated with COVID-19 and the potential mitigation solutions. We also propose an attack taxonomy, which (optimistically) will help guide future risk management and mitigation responses.
