Detect and Protect Against COVID-Themed Social Engineering

Presented by RiskIQ + Flashpoint

In the age of COVID-19, the U.S. Justice department has repeatedly warned businesses of an uptick in fraud schemes capitalizing on the global pandemic. Threat actors are impersonating news sources, charity organizations, financial institutions, government entities, medical suppliers, etc. to profit from the hype and confusion surrounding the Coronavirus. Threat actors have also been observed exploiting loopholes in banking systems to commit CARES Act fraud and targeting recipients to steal their personal data.

Flashpoint and RiskIQ leverage their combined visibility into online illicit communities used for planning and promoting attack vectors, alongside the open web criminal infrastructure used to carry out Coronavirus-related scams. This webinar will showcase real-life examples of these scams and highlight the methods that can be used to detect them combining research by RiskIQ and Flashpoint.
