April 22, 2020 –<\/strong> Billions of people are staying at home, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, doing almost all transactions online, which includes working from home, shopping, and also attending online classes, etc. And besides, according to the United Nations labor organization, the high estimate of 25 million people who could be out of jobs, due to a decline in global economic activities, will now be in search, online, for <\/span>remote work from home jobs<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, with the increase in online activities, there has also been a corresponding sophistication and increase in online phishing scams, luring gullible people into installing ransomware and other malware programs.
