Protect yourself from internet traps in the covid era

In the unprecedented year of 2020, we have suffered some huge catastrophes such as the epidemic. Since the outbreak, 67 million people have been infected and the global economy and society have been disrupted. We hope everything will be better in 2021. 

The good news is that the vaccine finally appeared. On December 30, the BBC reported the news  that the new vaccine was approved for use in the UK ( From BBC News). Prior to this, many countries, such as Ireland, have approved the use of vaccines, the approval of vaccines indicates that the regulatory agencies have determined that these vaccines are relatively safe and effective at this stage, and this undoubtedly brings hope to us, especially those at high risk of infection. 

However, the virus has begun to mutate, and mutated cases have appeared in the United Kingdom, the United States, and South Africa. This has brought new challenges to us, whether the vaccine can be followed up. We look forward to getting some good news about the epidemic under control and returning to normal life in 2021.

At a time when vaccines are getting more and more attention, some organized cybercrime groups are also ready to do something.
