A threat actor is leveraging fake Skype, Google Meet, and Zoom meetings to distribute malware targeting Android and Windows users. This campaign, discovered in December, poses a significant cybersecurity threat. By mimicking legitimate URLs and hosting on a single IP address, the attackers are successfully distributing malicious payloads, emphasizing the need for advanced threat protection measures.
The meeting notes highlighted an emerging cybersecurity threat where threat actors are creating fake Skype, Google Meet, and Zoom meetings to spread various malware targeting Android and Windows users. The attackers are using shared web hosting to host fake online meeting sites, impersonating legitimate collaboration applications. The documents distributed through these fake sites can steal sensitive data, log keystrokes, and compromise files. The researchers from ThreatLabz reported that the threat actor is using different tactics for each campaign and that these attacks are evolving and increasing in sophistication.
The notes also emphasized the importance for businesses to safeguard themselves against such advanced malware threats by implementing regular updates, security patches, and specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques triggered during sandbox analysis. It’s crucial for enterprises to recognize these evolving cyber threats and take proactive measures to protect against them.
