Threat actors crafted the email to be legitimate Zoom notification and the fake login also formatted like a legitimate meeting reminder commonly used by Zoom, reads Abnormal Security blog post.

“Frequent Zoom users would look at the login page, think their session has expired, and attempt to sign in again. They would be more likely to input their login credentials without checking the abnormalities in the phishing page.”

Cybercriminals continue to use the Coronavirus outbreak to launch various attacks such as malware, phishing, fraud, and disinformation campaigns.
