Everyone is insecure at the moment. Nothing is as it was a month ago. And everyone is looking for information in uncertain times. These are ideal conditions for fraudsters.

A selection of current scams that we would like to warn you about:

• Fake e-mails about short-time work allowance
• Corona Mailware campaign on behalf of the WHO
• Corona malware: Infected apps and maps

In these times, it’s more important than ever to critically review emails you don’t expect — and get the information you want directly from trusted sources. The web address of the Robert Koch Institute is so short that you can type it in your browser: “rki.de”.

Stay healthy,
