North Yorkshire Police have received a lot of emails from
concerned North
Yorkshire residents who have received
suspicious emails concerning the Coronavirus. This is being replicated across
the country. As a result, the Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) is
asking members of the public to report suspicious emails they have received
that seek to exploit fear of Covid -19 to enrich cybercriminals. The
National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), has launched the suspicious email
reporting service with a simple request of the public: forward any dubious
emails to report@phishing.gov.uk, and the
NCSC’s automated scanning system will check for scam emails and remove the
criminal sites.
