Image
Zoom may have fixed many of its own security issues, but it’ll never be immune to hackers trying to trick the company’s users. Malicious actors are now targeting users with fake Zoom meeting emails in order to steal their personal information and login credentials, according to email cybersecurity with cyber security.  This particular phishing scheme uncovered by Abnormal Security weaponizes many people’s fear of losing their job due to the economic downturn during the coronavirus pandemic.

Image
Over the past few weeks, the use of Zoom video conferencing software has exploded ever since it emerged the platform of choice to host everything from cabinet meetings  to yoga classes amidst the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and work from home became the new normal. The app has skyrocketed to 200 million daily users  from an average of 10 million in December — along with a 535 percent increase in daily traffic to its download page in the last month — but it's also seen a massive uptick in Zoom's problems, all of which stem from sloppy design practices and security implementations. Zoom may never have designed its product beyond enterprise chat initially, but with the app now being used in a myriad number of ways and by regular consumers, the company's full scope of gaffes have come into sharp focus — something it was able to avoid all this time.
