Introduction What a year so far! We exited the first quarter of 2020 battling the rush of malicious actors leveraging COVID-19, and in the second quarter there are no signs that these attacks seem to be abating. Indeed, as we continue to work from home, and do everything we can to ensure that businesses remain operational, it appears that bad actors are doing everything they can to profit from the situation. McAfee’s global network of more than a billion sensors registered a 605% increase in total Q2 COVID-19-themed threat detections. You can track updated pandemic-related threats on our McAfee COVID-19 Threats Dashboard.
At McAfee, we have focused our threat research teams entirely on ensuring your data and systems remain secure, and for the first time have made available the MVISION Insights preview dashboard to demonstrate the prevalence of such campaigns. You also have access to the Yara rules, IoCs, and mapping of such campaigns against the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. We update these campaigns on a weekly basis so, in essence, this threat report has an accompanying dashboard with more detail on specific campaigns.
