There has been an increase in the number of mobile threats in the form of apps appearing which are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic. These include the dangerous Cerberus and Anubis Android banking Trojans.

These apps infect devices and steal all sorts of personal details, including financial information.

Latest reports from Action Fraud highlight some of the current fraud reports which include

  • Fraudsters impersonating banks to discuss the government COVID-19 Business Interruption Loans.
  • Veterinary surgery bought a fake respirator.
  • Fraudsters are targeting users working from home to invest in bitcoin.
  • Sites promoting fake coronavirus information apps.
  • Online shopping scams featuring protective face masks, hand sanitiser etc. which never arrived.
  • Selling fake COVID-19 testing or treatment kits.
  • Parents in receipt of free school meals targeted by fraudsters with the message: 'If your child is entitled to free school meals send your bank details to the school and they will help with funding while the school is closed.'
