Netcraft has added protection from Coronavirus-related cybercrime to its mobile apps for Android and iOS, and to its browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge. Websites containing these attacks will be blocked for those who have the app or extension installed. The iOS app — currently available in the UK and Canada — blocks Coronavirus-themed attacks impersonating Canadian and UK businesses as well as providing global coverage of fake shops purporting to sell Coronavirus-related goods.

Any Coronavirus-related cybercrime can easily be reported through the extension or app, by emailing [EMAIL]scam@netcraft.com[/EMAIL], or at report.netcraft.com, protecting other users from these attacks.
