An official statement read, “Targeted campaigns on the theme of coronavirus are being undertaken by Indian adversaries with the primary aim of compromising email/ other accounts and to infect official/ personal IT assets of defence personnel.”
“In these campaigns, various messages in the form of phishing E-mails, SMSes and WhatsApp messages related to coronavirus are being circulated to the environment. These messages are embedded with malicious attachments, links/ documents and appear to originate from a genuine-looking spoofed source,” added the statement.
“Any such coronavirus themed message/ e-mail with or without attachments should not be opened and treated with due caution. Do not access such message/ e-mail and delete it immediately if received,” further added the statement.
