The National CERT wishes to inform the public on the current phishing campaigns abusing COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) alerts.

The campaign is most frequently being realized in the form of email messages containing different types of information related to COVID-19 virus.

In the email body text, the recipient is asked to enter user name and password, in order to supposedly access information on protection measures related to COVID-19.

In addition, the messages can also contain information on other current topics related to coronavirus, such as: infection maps, possible impact on the economy and similar.

The National CERT recommends the users not to enter their credentials in case of such emails.
