I work for a cyber security company. Yesterday we published this piece about some of the tactics being used by cybercriminals to exploit the panic over CV-19.

This is a PSA...no mention of our products and no attempt to sell anything. Please share with friends, family and co-workers. Be vigilant!!

In the last few days there have been multiple accounts started with clickbait titles and article links which were malware.

Some of the titles were like
Ex: Brady going to Bears
Charles Barkley had suddenly died

Be aware of the links people are posting.
NATTY OR BUST. BUST IT IS.

GIVE ME NATTY, OR GIVE ME BAS!!!

Yes, one poster kept posting "Cure found in Norway"

I never clicked on the link but it was definitely a phishing or malware attempt

Wow. Awful.

Well, hopefully my Ag Tag stuff and posting history will allow folks to relax and trust the link I shared.

Thanks for sharing.

The other troll posts are the same person / group who are creating new accounts and starting threads about impeachment, elections, etc. They've just switched to coronavirus recently.
