Cyber Security Bulletin: Working from home during the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of additional network software by companies endeavoring to enable their employees to work from home.
This has turned the attention of the “bad actors” looking to exploit potential vulnerabilities in these work-from-home technologies. As always, their intent is to disrupt business or to compromise computer systems.
In addition to the vulnerabilities that may exist in the software being used, some companies are implementing these collaboration systems in a less secure manner for ease and convenience of the home worker, further exposing themselves to being exploited during online meetings and while file sharing from one home worker to another.
Here are some key mitigation strategies and guidance SRG recommends:
Keep these technologies as well as home user systems patched and updated for protection.

Cyber Security Bulletin: COVID-19
The industry is seeing heightened activity pertaining to COVID-19 themed malware that is proliferating on the internet. Counterfeit websites and email phishing campaigns are leveraging public fear of and interest in the COVID-19 pandemic to spread malware that can infect corporate and personal systems.
As staff use the internet to search out status and information on the COVID-19 world situation, they may be redirected to sites that can cause a malware infection. Further, phishing campaigns and email attachments that may look like a legitimate correspondence from executives regarding the COVID-19 situation should be scrutinized.
We encourage companies to make their people aware of this situation and be wary of any email attachments, suspicious website redirections and unauthorized email in general.
