Proofpoint researchers have spotted and documented email phishing campaigns targeting US companies in a variety of industries with emails impersonating Zoom and Cisco.

"Not only are attackers using video conferencing brands as a lure for malware, but they're using it for credential phishing, in particular to steal Zoom and Webex credentials."

An email that welcomes users to their new Zoom account and requests them to activate their account, or an email that claims that the user has missed a scheduled Zoom conference meeting.

In both cases, the attackers are after account credentials, either for Zoom or for the target's email account.

The researchers have also spotted an email malware delivery campaign that does not impersonate the aforementioned developers of video conferencing solutions, but does exploit their widespread use.
