The advent of COVID-19 appears to have set the stage for a ‘hackers holiday’ according to a report emanating from the regional telecommunications giant Digicel.

Digicel appears certain that the advent of the global pandemic has brought with it what a senior company official has described as “a sharp uptick in cyber-attacks based on the levels of vulnerability as well as the number of workloads that are going online,” a senior regional Digicel official is quoted as saying.
