Ongoing phishing campaigns use the recent coronavirus outbreak as bait in attacks targeting individuals from the United States and the United Kingdom. The phishers promise to provide a list of active infections in the surrounding area to trick their potential victims into clicking a link embedded in the message and leading to a credential phishing page. In a sample phishing email, the attackers try to pass their spam as an official alert message distributed via the CDC Health Alert Network. The attackers then urge the targets to download a malicious PDF designed to infect their computers with malware payload.
