Covid 19 Impacts on Cyber Security: Issues and Challenges

Although cyber technologies benefit our society, there are also some related cyber security risks. For example, cybercriminals may exploit vulnerabilities in people, processes, and technologies during trying times, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to identify opportunities that target vulnerable individuals, organizations (e.g., medical facilities), and systems. In this paper, we examine the various cyber threats associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. We also determine the attack vectors and surfaces of cyber threats. Finally, we will discuss and analyze the insights and suggestions generated by different cyber attacks against individuals, organizations, and systems.
