However, in this regard, experts from a Bangalore-based IT company warned in March itself. Google also warned that the epidemic has caused worldwide flooding of phishing. 

Every day one million eight million emails were sent to Gmail users in search of the victim about the epidemic of Covid-19. Google also blocked a large number of such emails. There are many types of fishing emails sent by fraudsters, some of which are sent to the World Health Organization, governmental organizations, NGOs, etc. Seeing this, the victim falls into the trap. The fraudsters ask for a ransom as soon as someone clicks on the software associated with it. 

Their technical investigation found that cybercriminals used the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an actual organization in the US in the form of email snorts detailing the Coronavirus. Unless someone clicks on his domain, it seems legitimate at first sight. After that an Outlook login page opens.
