"Cyber-Criminals Target Zoom Users"

The Bitdefender Antispam Antispam Lab has detected a new cyber-extortion campaign targeting those using the video-conferencing Zoom while undressed. A quarter of a million people have received an email claiming to have footage of them in compromising positions while using Zoom. The email threatened victims to pay a $2,000 ransom in Bitcoin within three days to prevent the exposure of their footage to the public. The extortionist claims to have exploited a zero-day security vulnerability in the Zoom app to access the victim's camera and private data. This article continues to discuss the new sextortion scam launched by cybercriminals against Zoom users for Bitcoin payments.
