18. Beware Of Emails From WHO Or The CDC

One sure-fire way of determining whether an email is real or fake in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic is if it appears to come from either the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Simply put, they aren’t sending emails out to everyone and if an email appears in your inbox that appears to be from either of those organizations, alarm bells should immediately start sounding in your head. If you open it – and especially if you click on a link inside the email – you could be exposing your computer to malicious ransomware.
