Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic, which occurred at the end of 2019, started to be seen all over the world in early 2020. Later, the number of deaths due to this pandemic increased rapidly in almost all countries. Since it has reached significant dimensions, the desire of people to learn about this pandemic and the decisions taken regarding the pandemic has increased. As a result, the number of cyberattacks has increased. Stealing user information via e-mails sent as if they are related to coronavirus, and attacks on the systems of health institutions and organizations are the leading coronavirus-related cyberattacks. In this study, a brief description of the coronavirus was made, the types of cyberattacks were mentioned, the cyberattacks originating from coronavirus and the precautions taken by the countries against these attacks were comprehensively examined, and the inferences obtained were presented.
