Cybersecurity Experts Come Together to Fight COVID-19 Related
Cyberthreats
Simon Smith is glad to be one of the few recognised international cyber experts to be accepted in the COVID-19 CTI League. According to Reuters, the Cyber Threat Intelligence League was founded by security decision-makers Ohad Zaidenberg, Nate Warfield, Chris Mills, and Marc Rogers. Primarily, the group is aimed at preventing cyberattacks against health care facilities and providers. The group is defending health care organizations from cyberattacks and is also using its contacts in internet infrastructure providers to avert phishing attacks and other financially motivated cybercrimes that are using the fear of this pandemic to lure internet users. According to Marc Rogers, VP of cybersecurity strategy at Okta and DEF CON’s head of security, the COVID-19 CTI League has already traced and dismantled a hacking campaign that used a software vulnerability to distribute malware. Commenting on how the Coronavirus outbreak led to a huge surge in phishing attacks, Rogers said, "I've never seen this volume of phishing. I'm literally seeing phishing messages in every language known to man."
