Email the parish office at holyfamilychurch@shaw.ca Watch for Fraudsters Using COVID-19 in Malicious Emails and Websites If there’s one thing that’s certain during a pandemic, it’s that cybercriminals will use it for their own gain. Organizations including the government are seeing a significant increase in malicious emails designed to trick people into clicking on malicious links and attachments or providing sensitive information like credit card numbers and passwords. The malicious email may appear to come from a legitimate organization like the “Public Health Agency” or the “Centre for Disease Control” with a subject line of “Confidential Cure for Coronavirus” or “Coronavirus Safety Measures”. exercise extreme caution when receiving these emails. Do not open any email that appears suspicious or asks you to click on a link or open an attachment (e.g. MS Word or PDF) if you don’t know that it came from the government. These links and attachments contain malware and are a threat to government networks, systems, and data.
