The Secret Service warned corporate America about fraudulent emails related to COVID-19 that contain malicious attachments in an alert this week.
Companies throughout the country trying to keep employees informed about the coronavirus are facing another threat, in the form of malicious emails, authorities say.
"During the coronavirus outbreak, many companies and organizations have sent emails containing COVID-19 updates to their customers to make them aware of their current response and status. As these types of emails have now become increasingly frequent, criminals have started to use this familiarity to their advantage," the alert, obtained by CNBC, said.
Another version of this attack, the alert said, is an email supposedly from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that targets potential supplier companies by requesting they provide any medical protective equipment from a price list with the attachment containing malware. In most instances, "the email signature blocks used the identity of a legitimate employee.
