When you think about tools for remote working and chatting online, one of the first names in your mind is Zoom.
But its popularity has opened the door for cybercriminals. They’re using its name to steal sensitive data.
Researchers have discovered at least six convincing-looking download sites. They’re not the real thing. They’re designed to tempt you into downloading FAKE Zoom software, containing ‘info stealers’ and other forms of malware (malicious software).
Accidentally use one of these sites thinking that you’re downloading a Zoom update… and you risk having sensitive data stolen. Possibly your banking info, passwords, or browser history.
Some can even steal your multi-factor authentication details. That could give cybercriminals access to your most sensitive data.
The research also found these ‘stealer logs’ for sale on the dark web, where criminals can buy this information and use it to gain access to business networks.
Once a cybercriminal has access to your network, every piece of data you have stored becomes a target. In extreme cases, this can leave you vulnerable to ransomware attacks, or data theft.
While these fake sites can be incredibly convincing, take these simple steps to avoid being fooled.
If you need any help or advice to keep your business protected from malware and other security threats, get in touch.
