Pandemic has nothing to do with frequency of cyber security incidents at least not on a large scale. Every time when something global is happening spammers jump on the bandwagon and try to lure people into opening their email spam and buy something or download attachments filled with malware. This global situation is specific because a lot of people are working remotely so they easier to target and compromise then before. In the last decade or so a lot of businesses moved their presence and other ops online and lots of them practice poor cyber security that's why you see a lot of hacks happening. Speaking of big companies they are always targets of state sponsored attacks and industrial espionage.
