COVID-19 related security info on Google in regional languages
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google India has launched a new website focussed on COVID-19 related security risks which is now available in regional languages such as Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Bangla.
The website is meant to inform users about online risks and scams during the COVID-19. It details the different types of scams that attackers are targeting users with along with tips to avoid the same.
“The Google Threat Analysis Group continuously monitors for sophisticated hacking activity, and their security systems have detected a range of new scams such as phishing emails posing as messages from charities and NGOs battling Covid-19, directions from “administrators” to employees working from home, and even notices spoofing healthcare providers,” Google said in an official statement.
Google TAG has identified multiple malware and phishing scams around the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the past couple of weeks, the tech giant’s AI tools had flagged 18 million daily malware and phishing attempts related to Covid-19 across the globe, in addition to over 240 million Covid-related spam messages.
The tech giant said that it was able to block more than 99.9 percent of spam, phishing, and malware. Besides, users are also alerted of these scams by Chrome’s built-in security system. For smartphones, Google said that its Google Play Protect scans billions of apps in Google Play to safeguard users against any such risks.
Google further said that it will continue to monitor evolving online security threats related to Covid-19 to keep users informed and aware of such risks.
