Abstract
<p>World Health Organization declared
COVID-19 as a pandemic after the breakout in the city of Wuhan, China. The
disease has negatively affected the global economy and daily life. Most of the
countries around the world have imposed travel restrictions, locked down, and
social distancing measures. In the current situation, Information and
Communications Technology is playing a significant role in connecting people.
Majority of the education organizations have adopted online platforms, students
and staff are working from home. Besides, these businesses, e-healthcare
systems, food deliveries, and online grocery shopping have witnessed a very
high demand. Malicious attackers have considered COVID-19 as an opportunity to
launch attacks for financial gains and to promote their evil intents.
Healthcare systems are being attacked with ransomware and resources such as
patient's records confidentiality, and integrity is being compromised. People
are falling prey to phishing attacks through COVID-19 related content. In this
research, we have identified the top ten cybersecurity threats that had and
could take place during the pandemic. We have also discussed the privacy
concerns raised amid COVID-19. <i></i></p>
