During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic the number of cyber attacks increased by about 400%, according to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Prior to the pandemic, the FBI received approximately 1,000 daily complaints to its Internet Crime Complaint Center, but with the Covid-19 transition to a remote work environment, the FBI complaints have increased to 3,000 to 4,000 per day.
