The coronavirus pandemic has increased the risk of cyberattack, the World Economic Forum has warned.
Officials note that, with the world battling to contain the coronavirus outbreak, a cyberattack could wreak very real devastation. 
“In today’s unprecedented context, a cyberattack that deprives organizations or families of access to their devices, data or the internet could be devastating and even deadly,” explained the World Economic Forum in a statement, adding, “In a worst-case scenario, broad-based cyberattacks could cause widespread infrastructure failures that take entire communities or cities offline, obstructing healthcare providers, public systems and networks.”
