Whether you're working from home or trying to stay in touch with loved ones, video conferencing apps like Zoom are becoming the new normal. Cybercriminals have exploited this type of application before, but their latest scam may be the trickiest yet.
Scammers are sending out phishing emails with links to download the latest version of Zoom. When clicked, the link takes you to a third-party website – not the official Zoom site – to download an installer. If you download and run the file, the program does install Zoom. The trick is that the installer also places a remote access trojan (RAT) on your computer. This RAT gives cybercriminals the ability to observe everything you do on your machine. This includes keylogging (saving what you type), recording video calls, and taking screenshots–all of which can be used to steal your sensitive information.
Don't fall victim to this scam! Remember the following:
Stop, Look, and Think.
Don't be fooled.
