Beware the Zoom Boom: Fake Meeting Invites Are Malware in Disguise!
Fake Zoom invites are now the ultimate “gift” givers, offering the surprise download of a malware party favor called “Session.ClientSetup.exe.” It’s the new way to RSVP to chaos! Stay vigilant, because this download dumps a remote access tool onto your computer, giving attackers a front-row seat to your digital life. Stay safe, party smart!
Hot Take:
Zoom calls that transform into room calls for hackers? Nope, just another day in the life of cyber tricksters! Maybe the next fake invitation will ask us to download a new pet rock or a simulated pet fish. What a time to be alive, or should I say, online!
Key Points:
- Fake Zoom invitations are being used to distribute malware.
- The malware in question is a downloader disguised as a Zoom update.
- ScreenConnect, a remote access tool, is installed for remote control.
- Persistence is achieved by installing the tool as a service on the victim’s computer.
- The malicious operation is configured to communicate with a command-and-control server.
