To combat the threat, the agencies recommend that government agencies and financial institutions initiate a \u201ccomprehensive security review\u201d of critical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the alert, the federal government and international partners have increased sharing threat intelligence and best practices with industry in response to the virus-related threats. The Secret Service is investigating malicious actors and will try to recover funds that are stolen as a result of their activity, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese investigations will include actions over the near term, but also in the coming months and years to hold criminals accountable and recover assets,\u201d the alert read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CISA, the federal agency under the DHS tasked with protecting critical infrastructure and federal networks from cyberattacks, has issued several alerts in recent weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. In an April alert, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/civilian\/dhs\/2020\/04\/08\/dhs-cybersecurity-agency-warns-of-covid-19-phishing-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">CISA and the National Cyber Security Centre in the United Kingdom<\/a> sent an alert warning of coronavirus-related phishing attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early May, CISA and the NCSC again issued a <a
