Cybersecurity Advisory: Attack Using Zoom’s Remote Control?
The coronavirus crisis caused a significant increase in the usage of remote meeting channels like Zoom. In turn, cyber criminals are showing increasing interest in these channels and are trying to fool and infect people. A newly discovered cyberattack campaign is exploiting Zoom’s remote control feature to invade the systems of cryptocurrency traders and venture capitalists. The campaign named ‘Elusive Comet’ uses advanced social engineering strategies to fool users into allowing remote access during Zoom meetings. This results in the implementation of infostealer malware and unauthorized access to confidential data.
