Some of the security vulnerabilities include for example inappropriate storage solutions, unapproved software downloads, or the use of unsecured personal hardware. These are all ways for hackers to access confidential data or company systems.
Most attacks are phishing attacks. You receive an email related to the coronavirus, with a link redirecting you to a fake page, the goal is to extract your personal information.
