The pandemic may finally be receding, but remote working is very much here to stay. The model that appears to be gaining most traction is a hybrid one, where most staff are allowed to spend some time working from home (WFH), but will also be required to come to the office for at least part of the week. It’s intended as a “best of both worlds” solution for staff and employers. But as we’ve seen over the past 12 months or more, mass remote working has also created the perfect conditions for threat actors to thrive.

INTERPOL has issued a global warning about organized crime groups that are targeting governments, using bogus offers that peddle COVID-19 vaccines. The warning was issued to all of INTERPOL’s 194 member countries after the international law enforcement agency registered roughly 60 cases from 40 countries.

The scammers focused on employees of both hospitals and health ministries, offering to sell COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for distribution in their respective countries. To dupe their targets, the cybercriminals masqueraded as representatives of either vaccines manufacturers or governmental authorities directing the vaccine distribution efforts.

The post-pandemic normal for global organizations increasingly means using digital technology to support more flexible working practices. Although tech giants such as Twitter and Facebook made headlines by promising some employees they can work from home forever, the reality for most employers is likely to be more prosaic. More than 60% of businesses are planning to support a hybrid workplace which will involve employees spending part of the week at home and a few days in the office.

The Colonial Pipeline company, which operates a fuel pipeline in the United States, had temporarily suspended its operations on May 7, 2021, declaring that it was targeted by ransomware. Cyber ​​security company ESET drew attention to such attacks, stating that the attack on the Colonial fuel pipeline reminds us of the increasing cyber threats to critical infrastructures.

The Colonial pipeline system, which is about 9 thousand kilometers long, was affected by the cyber attack in the first week of May, and millions of barrels of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel could not be transported from the Gulf of Mexico to the East Coast.
