Cybersecurity During COVID-19

ABSTRACT

The world today has become fully digitalized. The increase of digitalization has provided a huge platform for the cybercriminals to launch their attacks. With the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) followed by lockdowns, digitalization has been the only way to stay connected virtually. With the growing technology every day, the attacks become more and more sophisticated as the attackers quickly learn and invent new ways to find their prey. Every sector whether public or private has been affected due to breaches in cybersecurity especially during the COVID-19. In this paper, we have tried to analyze various types of cyberattacks carried out during the pandemic with its impact and preventive measures to be taken for protection. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
