Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft’s Teams Being Used in Phishing Scams
Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM), Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google Meet, and Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Teams video conferencing and collaboration platforms, are being used by hackers to trick individuals into clicking on malicious links in a new crop of phishing scams.
Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP), the security software company warned in a blog post that hackers are using all three video platforms to attempt to steal identities and engage in other nefarious activities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It makes sense. Hackers follow the users, and with shelter in place orders being enforced around the country and millions of people working from home, collaboration platform usage is skyrocketing. That provides a fertile breeding ground for cybercriminals.
