Governments and organisations globally have been making announcements that just
a few weeks prior would have been unprecedented. As more of our lives are moving
online in an attempt to adapt to changes brought about by the Coronavirus
pandemic, many are trying out services they were previously unfamiliar with, such
as video conferencing or online grocery shopping. While others are finding
themselves with more time to pursue online hobbies such as gaming.
The combined effect of information overload and a mass of people using
unfamiliar software and services has created an environment ripe for
exploitation by cybercriminals.
Netcraft has tracked Coronavirus-themed cybercrime since 16th March, shortly
after it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. While Netcraft continues to see
high volumes of Coronavirus-inspired fake shops, advanced fee fraud, phishing
and malware lures, this post covers some of the trends Netcraft has observed
since our previous posts on the topic.
Many governments have set up dedicated websites offering advice and services to
support their citizens through the pandemic. Cybercriminals are taking advantage
of this by providing copy-cat sites with a malicious twist.
In one recent campaign, the cybercriminals deployed a site that poses as the UK
Government and offers “credit card refunds” for “COVID-19 support”. The
fraudulent site uses UK Government branding and collects the victim’s personal
information – including their credit card number, date of birth and telephone
number.
Netcraft has added protection from Coronavirus-related cybercrime to its mobile apps for Android and iOS, and to its browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge. Websites containing these attacks will be blocked for those who have the app or extension installed. The iOS app — currently available in the UK and Canada — blocks Coronavirus-themed attacks impersonating Canadian and UK businesses as well as providing global coverage of fake shops purporting to sell Coronavirus-related goods.
Any Coronavirus-related cybercrime can easily be reported through the extension or app, by emailing [email protected], or at report.netcraft.com, protecting other users from these attacks.
The Netcraft Browser Extension now blocks Coronavirus-related cybercrime
Since 16 March Netcraft has been monitoring and disrupting Coronavirus-themed cybercrime, which accounts for five percent of the attacks we perform countermeasures against and is becoming more prevalent on the internet.
The Netcraft App can be downloaded from any of the major three major app stores:
The Netcraft Extension can be downloaded for any of the four major browsers:
Starting your own web hosting business is much simpler now that technology and customer reach is improving, but the model is still changing all the time.

Just like Coronavirus itself, the Coronavirus-themed cybercrime it has spawned is quickly becoming a pandemic of its own.
