Jared Kushner's coronovirus task force is using private email accounts to conduct official business https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200327/12535044183/jared-kushners-coronovirus-task-force-is-using-private-email-accounts-to-conduct-official-business.shtml

In general, ways to avoid accidentally downloading malware from a phishing message include:
✔️ check the sender’s address
✔️ try not to click or tap
✔️ try not to download files from unfamiliar people
✔️ phone a friend/coworker: ask "were we expecting an email from this sender?"

Some of these scams have the intent of stealing your password to log into a service you use, and some of them have the intent of installing malware. For more information, see our printable handout from SEC. https://sec.eff.org/uploads/upload/file/37/SEC-malware-handout.pdf https://t.co/JS2KrG1FuB

Two trends in malware that we’re especially seeing in COVID-19 related phishing attacks are trojans and ransomware. Some phishing campaigns use a live interactive map of COVID-19 to appear valid and trustworthy even to a cautious eye.
