Zoom could be facing yet another wave of bad news.
More than 500,000 accounts of the popular video conferencing app are being sold on the dark web and hacker forums, according to a report from BleepingComputer, a cybersecurity news site.
These accounts are being sold “for less than a penny each, and in some cases, given away for free,” the report said.
In this case, cybercriminals are employing “credential stuffing” where they try to log in to Zoom using account data such as usernames and passwords, leaked in older data breaches. If the login is successful, it is added to a list that is sold to other hackers.
BleepingComputer said it contacted random email addresses exposed in the lists and confirmed that some of the passwords were correct while others were old.
