So good luck for this fight, failure is your destiny.

Called the COVID-19 CTI League, for cyber threat intelligence, the group
spans
more than 40 countries and includes professionals in senior positions at
such
major companies as Microsoft Corp and Amazon.com Inc .
One of four initial managers of the effort, Marc Rogers, said the top
priority
would be working to combat hacks against medical facilities and other
frontline
responders to the pandemic. It is already working on hacks of health
organizations.
Also key is the defense of communication networks and services that have
become
essential as more people work from home, said Rogers, head of security
at the
long-running hacking conference Def Con and a vice president at security
company
Okta Inc .
The group is also using its web of contacts in internet infrastructure
providers
to squash garden-variety phishing attacks and another financial crime
that is
using the fear of COVID-19 or the desire for information on it to trick
regular
internet users.
Rogers said the group had already dismantled one campaign that used a
software
vulnerability to spread malicious software. He declined to provide
details, and
said that in general the group would be reluctant to reveal what it was
fighting.
Rogers said law enforcement had been surprisingly welcoming of the
collaboration, recognizing the vastness of the threat.
Rogers is a UK citizen based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Two other group
coordinators are American, and one is Israeli.
