Contribution :	While the 21st century was advancing as the age of information, COVID-19 pandemic has emerged and proved that, as perhaps nothing else could have, the vital importance of internet connectivity and digital services. Studies show that, attacks have made a significant target shift from individuals and small businesses to large corporations, governments and critical infrastructures during the pandemic. Individuals, companies, critical infrastructures and states encounter serious problems because of growing cyber threats that are getting more and more diversified every day. Preventive measures and cooperation in national and international level, especially among national cyber incidents response teams (CERTs) play a crucial role in minimizing the effects of pandemic related cyber threats and attacks.
