- Cyberattack deceives users to install malicious malware.
- Fake Zoom software is used in this attack.
- Global Zoom users are potential targets.

The new attack involves fake Zoom conference software, tricking users into downloading malware. Attackers forge Zoom domain links, using deep fake videos to mimic legitimate participants. Similar tactics were observed in the ELUSIVE COMET operation against CEOs in April 2025.
Perpetrators impersonated media agents in video calls, misusing remote control features. Renaming themselves as “Zoom” makes harmful requests appear authentic, allowing malware installation and system infiltration. This targets both system security and personal data integrity.
Immediate global security response is necessary to mitigate risks to systems and data. Zoom previously patched high-severity vulnerabilities in March 2025, underscoring ongoing security concerns. Users must be aware of potential threats to maintain system safety.
“It is crucial to verify the identity of participants before sharing sensitive information in Zoom meetings.” — Emily Chen, Information Security Consultant, GuardTech
Users are encouraged to download the latest software updates and utilize two-factor authentication. Exercising caution with meeting requests and verifying participant identities are essential steps for security maintenance.
The long-term implications could include financial losses and changes in cybersecurity regulations. Vulnerabilities in popular software could lead companies to prioritize security investments. This incident emphasizes the need for developing robust cybersecurity measures.
