Increase in Cyber Attacks

______________________

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen a massive increase in cyber-attacks:

Exploiting fear and uncertainty created by the pandemic to take advantage of vulnerable individuals.

• Taking advantage of increased work from home.

• Especially brutal cyber-attacks on the supply chain that provides the equipment and materials necessary to fight the virus.

• Nasty attacks on hospitals and medical infrastructure fighting to save lives. 



Responding to the Attacks

______________________

We will discuss some of the measures people have taken to help those attacked while disabling some of the attacks. This is being done by companies and also by individual volunteers who have come together to create a taskforce to protect the people and institutions fighting these invisible attackers.

Preparing for the Future

______________________

Join us to exchange information about what is happening, how we can fight back to shut down these attacks and how we can help those who have already fallen victim. Join us for a live webinar to learn about the threats we are currently facing, how you can help, and what we can do to be better prepared for the next global pandemic.
