Cyber ​​security company Checkpoint has said in a report that hackers are running a variety of special offers regarding the Corona virus. Hackers are using “COVID19” for discount codes. These cyber criminals are claiming to sell premium products like MacBook at a nominal price.

Checkpoint has said that since January, more than 16,000 domains have been registered that are related to the corona virus.
