Hackers Steal Cryptocurrencies via Zoom Invitations: How Does It Work?
Cybercriminals are using a new method to steal cryptocurrencies by luring users via fake invitations on Zoom or other video conferencing platforms.
Here’s how it works:
🔵 Fake Invitations:
Hackers send emails to victims, inviting them to a supposedly important meeting. These emails look official and contain links to Zoom.
🔵 Phishing Links:
By clicking on the link, the user is redirected to a fake site that looks like the Zoom login page. Victims are then asked to enter their personal data, including their login details, passwords, or crypto wallet keys.
🔵 Social Engineering:
During the "meeting," hackers pretend to be consultants or investors, persuading victims to install malware or share confidential information.
🔵 Data Theft:
After obtaining the data, scammers hack cryptocurrency wallets and transfer the funds.
How to protect yourself:
🔵 Don't click on suspicious links.
🔵 Always check the website address, especially if it's related to cryptocurrencies.
🔵 Don't share personal information during video conferences.
🔵 Enable two-factor authentication for your crypto wallets.
🔵 Install antivirus software and keep it up to date.
