In November’s news, Covid-related cybercrime has driven UK attacks to a record number.

Organisations such as the NHS and companies researching potential vaccines have been targeted, which has driven Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre to deal with 194 coronavirus-related incidents, and a total of 723 incidents over the past year – a new record.

In addition, Google have patched a second actively exploited flaw in the popular Chrome browser in as many weeks. Details of this vulnerability can be found [here](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-16009).
