Avoiding Phishing in Web Conferencing

By following some best practices, you can help avoid phishing during your web conferences. 

  • Be hyper vigilant when downloading files to look at the name of the file before you download as well as be sure that the site you are downloading from is legitimate.  It has been reported that malicious files with names like "zoom-us-zoom_##########.exe," which when executed, installed potentially unwanted programs such as InstallCore, a dodgy bundleware application that's known to install other kinds of malware.
     

  • Be cautious of the website you navigate to and check the spelling! Zoom is not the only app to be targeted by cybercriminals. Phishing sites masquerading as legitimate sites, such as Google Classroom (e.g., googloclassroom[.]com and googieclassroom[.]com) are misspelled websites to trick users into visiting a malicious site. 
     

  • To keep yourself safe, it is essential that your Web Conferencing apps are kept up-to-date, and be on the lookout for emails from unknown senders and lookalike domains that contain spelling errors.
