The Covid-19 pandemic has increased our reliance on the digital space and the internet is more than ever, a critical tool for companies and anyone who wish to bring back a sense of normalcy into their lives. Unfortunately this also presents an unprecedented opportunity for hackers/cyber-attackers who are toiling the hours away in an attempt to steal sensitive information and divert funds for their personal gains. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a statement on 24 April to urge public to exercise heightened caution following reports that scammers have been impersonating WHO officials and have been sending out e-mails to the general public requesting for donations.

Increased Information Security (IS) awareness and vigilance are a must nowadays. At ITL, cybersecurity is firmly entrenched in our company’s strategy and we have a full-fledged Information Security, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Data Protection team led by a seasoned CISSP (Certified Information Security Systems Professional). Our mission is to safeguard your data and build awareness about cybercrime. For that very reason, our IS expert has put together a booklet titled “Inside the Hacker’s mind" to help you navigate through the various techniques used by cybercriminals.
