Global police agencies issue alerts on Covid-related cyber-crime

Europol and Interpol have joined the list of cross-border law and order regulators set out to tackle Covid-19 scams and misinformation campaigns. 

“With a huge number of people teleworking from home, often with outdated security systems, cyber-criminals prey on the opportunity to take advantage of this surreal situation and focus even more on cyber-criminal activities,” Europol executive director Catherine De Bolle wrote in its latest security advisory.  

The announcement comes a week after Europol published a detailed report on how criminals modified their strategies to make the most of the pandemic scare, based on information it received from the EU member states.
