Two million individuals/citizen email IDs at risk as hacker plan to target them with "free Covid-19 testing for all residents of Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Ahmedabad"

Just after the Australian government said that they are facing massive cyber attack from a state-sponsored attack, the Indian computer emergency response team (CERT-In) has waned against the massive cyberattack on individuals and business

This time hackers may use the "Government-funded COVID19 support initiative" as a click-bait. “Such e-mails are designed to drive recipients towards fake websites where they are deceived into downloading malicious files or entering personal and financial information,” CERT-In said in its advisory dated June 19.
As per the report, the hacker has a database of 2 million email IDs which they use to target. The current situation gives hackers a golden chance to launch attack worldwide as countries are busy dealing with pandemic also as per the PwC report cyberattack on Indian organization doubled in march 2020 from January 2020
