• Abstract: COVID-19 has caused widespread damage across many areas of life and has made humans more dependent on the internet and technology making us realize the importance of secure remote working environments. While social separation is encouraged during moments of lockdown, online infrastructure has become the central focus for communication, commerce, working, and learning, creating a new challenge and trend for companies to adopt new methods and operating models. The cases of cyber-attacks increased, and fraudsters and cybercriminals took use of this to intensify their illegal activities by taking advantage of remote workers' vulnerabilities and the public's interest in information about the coronavirus. This paper examines the different types of security threats and cyber crimes that people faced in the pandemic time and the need for a safe and secure cyber infrastructure. This paper attempts to analyze the security implications of the issues.

  The digitization of all processes and the opening to IoT devices has fostered the emergence of a new formof crime, i.e. cybercrime. The maliciousness of such attacks lies in the fact that they turn users into facilitators of cyber-attacks, to the point of being perceived as the weak link'' of cybersecurity. Knowing how to anticipate, identifying weak signals and outliers, detect early and react quickly to computer crime are therefore priority issues requiring a prevention and cooperation approach.
