Attackers know this. In 2024, 96% of phishing emails targeting businesses exploited trusted platforms like Zoom to get past email filters. They are not breaking into Zoom. They are using its name as a disguise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The popularity of Zoom has also made it one of cybercriminals\u2019<\/span> most lucrative tools for exploiting innocent individuals.

The goal is to steal your password, or get access to your computer, or both. The early ones were less sophisticated. Suspicious email addresses, poor layout, links with no resemblance to zoom.us. Easy to spot, if you were looking.<br>That changed. <br><br>In 2025, INKY researchers observed a campaign that used legitimate Zoom documents on docs.zoom.us to deliver phishing emails. The emails were sent from Zoom servers. They passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC. They didn&#8217;t trigger any alarms.<br><br>You cannot spot something that looks exactly like the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_a_Zoom_Phishing_Email_Look_Like\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What Does a Zoom Phishing Email Look Like?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The victims receive emails claiming that Zoom has undergone a server upgrade, prompting them to verify their accounts to continue making or receiving calls through the app.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-7862 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"967\" height=\"862\" src=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1.jpg\" alt=\"Phishing email pretending to be Zoom invite\" class=\"wp-image-7862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1.jpg 967w, https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1-768x685.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1-80x71.jpg 80w, https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1-500x446.jpg 500w, https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zoom-phishing-email-1-800x713.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Zoom Phishing Attacks Email Format (Source: Bleeping Computer)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The display name in the email headers shows \u201cZoom \u2013 no-reply@zoom[.]us\u201d.

Additionally, some phishing emails also used new email domain names such as zoomcommunications[.]com or zoomvideoconference[.]com.

Zoom meeting scams work in a few other ways too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Credential harvesting mid-session. <\/strong>You join what looks like a routine meeting. Partway through, a fake Microsoft or Outlook login prompt appears asking you to re-authenticate. You type in your details. They go straight to whoever set up the meeting. This was the exact method used against a North American brokerage firm in a documented 2022 attack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fake installer sites.<\/strong> Attackers build pages that look nearly identical to Zoom&#8217;s official download page. The installer is malware. Traffic gets driven there through phishing emails, usually about updating to the latest Zoom version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social engineering invites.<\/strong> Subject lines like &#8220;Meeting Canceled \u2013 Could We Do a Zoom Call?&#8221; land in inboxes at manufacturing companies, hospitals, energy firms, and government offices. The goal is to get someone to open an attachment or click a link that drops something onto their machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Living-off-the-land attacks.<\/strong> The most advanced zoom meeting scams host phishing content on real zoom.us URLs. The links pass every reputation check because they genuinely belong to Zoom. Filters designed to catch lookalike domains have no answer for this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credential_Harvesting_is_Their_Aim_in_Zoom_Phishing_Attacks\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Credential Harvesting is Their Aim in Zoom Phishing Attacks<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These Zoom <\/span><span style=\"color: #183994;\"><a style=\"color: #183994;\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/phishing-attacks\/\"><b>phishing attacks<\/b><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aim to steal credentials for services like Outlook and Office 365 by directing users to spoofed login pages. Moreover, the attackers are even using techniques like obfuscation to make it very difficult for security systems to detect phishing pages.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Hackers use a fake attachment that leads to a locally hosted login page on the recipient\u2019s computer, not on the internet. Further, the HTML, JavaScript, and PHP code is encoded. This is unreadable to humans and automated security tools. This is done to bypass URL reputation checkers and remain undetected.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, hackers use a malicious link to redirect victims to a fake login page hosted on a compromised server.

The cost of recovery from a successful phishing attack that results in credential harvesting can be huge. Some measures to detect Zoom<span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> phishing attacks are mentioned below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check the email domain name&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You should check the name and email address of the sender very carefully. The domain name of a legitimate sender would look like abc@company[.]com. However, a phishing email would contain a sender ID which would say abc@commpany[.]com or abc@companny[.]com.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be wary of requests for sensitive information<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The purpose of Zoom phishing attacks is to harvest sensitive information from the victims. A legitimate email would never ask you to send such information. Therefore, this is a major red flag for detecting phishing emails.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check the content of the email<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Typically, a phishing email contains numerous spelling <\/span>and grammatical errors. Legitimate emails from companies will never contain such mistakes,<span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> as they have dedicated teams of employees who write emails on their behalf. It\u2019s better to check for the genuineness of the sender if the email body contains any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check for suspicious links<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Zoom phishing emails come with a gateway. It can take the form of a redirect to a fake website or an attachment that needs to be downloaded. Genuine companies never ask you to download any such attachments or click any such links.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check for free offers or coupons<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Phishing emails usually contain offers that sound very attractive. The objective is to make the victim click on the link to avail of the offer. This starts the process of redirecting the victims to a bogus website or getting them to download a malicious attachment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><strong>Explore Here: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/cybersecurity-awareness-month-video-gallery\"><strong>31 Cybersecurity Awareness Ideas from Security Leaders<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Protect_Your_Organization\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Protect Your Organization<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Threat actors have found ways to evade spam filters and land their phishing emails in recipients&#8217; inboxes<\/span>.
