100days

This report reviews Mimecast’s detection data at various layers during the first 100-day period of coronavirus (COVID-19), commencing from the beginning of January 2020. Wherever possible data has been included for the entirety of the period under review. In some cases, however, additional processes have been introduced for the recording of COVID-19 specific data and in these instances, data is provided for the period for which has been available. The development of the COVID-19 epidemic into a global pandemic has presented a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fraud and predation which cyber threat actors, both criminal and otherwise, have been quick to exploit to the fullest.
