As people grow concerned about the Wuhan coronavirus, now classified as a global emergency by the World Health Organization, cybercriminals are preying on their fear with phishing emails claiming to have advice on protective safety measures. Emails have been seen in the US and UK.
The attack was detected by security researchers at Mimecast. A sample email, which claims to come from a health specialist, advises the recipient to “go through the attached document on safety measures regarding the spreading of corona virus,” adding “This little measure can save you.” Below is a link entitled “Safety Measures.pdf” that purportedly redirects to health advice.
