As well as disrupting the world’s healthcare, economic, political and social systems, the Covid-19 health crisis has also led to increased use of digital tools. The cybercrime ecosystem continues to develop and diversify, increasing the threat of cyberattacks on businesses and institutions.<\/p>\n

What is a cyber attack?<\/h2>\n

A cyber attack is any malicious attack on an IT system, targeting information systems (IS) in order to usurp, modify or destroy a sensitive system.<\/p>\n

Cyberattacks fall into several categories: cybercrime, image damage, espionage and sabotage. Through attacks such as the installation of spyware and hacker programs, phishing, intrusions, information theft and ransomware.<\/p>\n

France is not an isolated case, and in view of the situation, INTERPOL’s Cybercrime Directorate has issued a global assessment report on COVID-19-related cybercrime to 194 member countries and private partners as part of the Organization’s Global Survey in April and May 2020.<\/p>\n
