Rise In Cyber Crimes Vis-À-Vis Phishing During Pandemic

Abstract

The world largely faceed  the threat of Covid-19. It has hampered the world at large in terms of physical health as well as the economy has also been hit. As a preventive measure lockdown has been enforced to maintain social distancing and to ensure that the virus doesn’t spread by contact.  Due to this stigma “Work from Home” is what the organizations had to enforce. Not only economy but educational institutions are also resorting to online mode. As we all know there’s always a dark side to a coin, so also this online stream is. Now a day’s all our transactions are linked with our mobile phones/tabs and other devices, it’s just a matter of click and our work is done. So much sensitive information we carry in our devices. This paper critically analyzes cons of online streaming and specifically phishing attacks.
