Bad Marketing: COVID-19 and Cyber Security
- 1 min
Cyber Security, as well as many industries, is trying to use COVID-19 for marketing purposes. As sad as it sounds, it’s true.
COVID-19-themed attacks by threat actors are actual. However, this has been familiar to the security world. We have always seen APTs utilizing global (and local) events and situations to their benefit. Threat Intelligence is the way to understand and protect against these attacks quickly.
This does not mean to take the pandemic as a source of marketing.
What should be required is public sharing of technical threat intelligence reports for related confirmed incidents.
To conclude, we should never overtake and abuse a pandemic for solely marketing purposes.
