# Cyber Threats in a Time of Pandemic
## On-Demand Webinar
[Watch now](https://businessresources.bitdefender.com/webinar-cyber-threats-in-a-time-of-pandemic#form-section)
The Cyber Threats in a Time of Pandemic webinar takes a look at some of the most important threats businesses and consumers have been facing since the beginning of the pandemic. We are revealing what Bitdefender telemetry and research has shown in terms of **malware spread during this time** and how threats were designed to exploit fear and misinformation in order to trick victims into clicking, downloading, and executing malware.
**Smart home devices (IoTs)** also played a large role - many threats directly targeted home routers, Android devices, and even a wide number of improperly secured IoT devices that were exploited by cyber-criminals in order to be amassed into a **Denial of Service (DoS)**-distributing botnet.
