Threats spread through email
No large-scale spam campaigns were recorded in the first quarter of 2020. According to ESET telemetry, the spam detection rate was fairly stable with a few minor peaks, observed mainly in the second week of March 2020.

Since mid-March, cybercriminals have been actively using the coronavirus theme in spam campaigns. In particular, in several campaigns, cybercriminals even tried to impersonate the World Health Organization (WHO) to distribute malicious attachments. In another campaign, scammers tried to scare users by claiming that the emails came from a neighbor who lives nearby and could infect them if they did not pay a ransom.

Internet of Things Security
Devices related to the Internet of Things are often the target of georgia number data attacks due to the presence of a significant number of security vulnerabilities and incorrect settings . At the beginning of the quarter, ESET specialists scanned more than 100 thousand routers worldwide and discovered vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access by attackers. According to ESET telemetry, weak or default passwords are quite often used to protect services . In particular, 63% of all detected simple combinations were recorded when using the HTTP protocol.



flaws can severely compromise entire networks is the KrØØk vulnerability , which, if successfully exploited, could have exposed attackers to several kilobytes of potentially sensitive data.

As we can see, the rapid development of innovative technologies, the discovery of new malware families, software security flaws, and device vulnerabilities make information security a priority for small and large companies, government organizations, and users around the world.
