Some malicious websites also attempt to masquerade as websites of the public health system in order to deceive people's anxiety about the epidemic.
A report issued by the Canadian Communications Security Agency on the 28th local time said that in the past two months, cybercriminals have established many fake Canadian government websites, most of which were impersonated by the Canadian Taxation Agency (CRA) or obtained from the CERB website page. beneficial. Through these websites, cybercriminals try to trick the public into divulging personal financial information they handed over to the tax bureau. The Canadian Communications Security Agency said that these malicious websites have been banned.
These sites are just some of the 120,000 newly registered new coronary pneumonia-themed domain names learned by the Canadian Communications Security Agency last month.
