Cybercriminals are attempting to lockout hospitals out of critical systems by attempting to deploy ransomware on their networks during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
These ransomware appears to be spreading primarily via e-mails —often falsely claiming to contain information or advice regarding the coronavirus from a government agency, which encourages the recipient to click on an infected link or attachments.

Cyberdome recommends hospitals and healthcare organisations to always keep their software and hardware up to date, and to back up their data onto offline storage devices to block potential attacks from reaching them.

Hospitals and other organizations targeted by ransomware attacks are advised to take the following measures to protect systems-

• Only open emails or download software/applications from trusted sources.
• Do not click on links or open attachments in emails which you were not expecting to receive, or come from an unknown sender.
• Secure email systems to protect from spam which could be infected.
• Backup all important files frequently, and store them independently from your system (e.g. in the cloud, on an external drive).
• Ensure you have the latest anti-virus software installed on all systems and mobile devices, and that it is constantly running.
• Use strong, unique passwords for all systems, and update them regularly.

Kerala Police Central Police Canteens are now fully online with facility for door to door delivery.
In wake of COVID-19 and the lockdown issues, the Kerala Police Canteens have gone one step further and made the Canteens to have door to door delivery facility. The Police officer has to download the App on PlayStore at ShopsApp, validate his identity on the App through his official mobile phone number and then the App will be open to him for purchase of Grocery and Essential items, just like any shopping App. The App started today, is a big boon to the officers working in the field, who do not have the transport services to come to the Canteen, during the lockdown. Kerala Police Canteens have thus shown the way, in making the Canteen goods also available online, to be delivered to the doorsteps of the police families.
