Fake malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus COVID-19 -PAGE 4

Mar 22, 2020

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued an alert for a malicious fake
online coronavirus map. A malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus
COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins University is circulating on the internet waiting for
unaware internet users to visit the website. Visiting the website (corona-virus-map.com) infects
the user with the AZORult Trojan, an information stealing program which can exfiltrate a variety
of sensitive data. It is likely being spread via infected email attachments, malicious online
advertisements, and social engineering. Furthermore, anyone searching the internet for a
Coronavirus map could unwittingly navigate to this malicious website.
