Hackers are running credential sniffing attacks which saves the log files of the vulnerable zoom app. Thousands of such credentials are being sold for even less than a cent each.

The leaked account details are then complied and sold to hackers and other organizations on the dark web. These credentials are then used for "Zoom bombing pranks" by the hackers.

Cyble, a cybersecurity intelligence firm says that free zoom account credentials can be seen around the web from 1st week of April. Most the these are regularly posted on the hackers forum.

Mass trade of accounts

Accounts are being sold in masses and each account costs less than a cent, as low as $0.0012 each. These accounts are then used to run pranks and sniff useful information for the user.

Cyble says that, they were able to buy 530,000 accounts each costing $0.0012. Most the credentials were correct, and they were able to get full control on the account.

Secure your other accounts having similar password

If you're a zoom user, then we suggest you to instantly change your account passwords having similar login credentials as of zoom, because hackers are able to crack into other accounts using the same credentials.

We also recommend you to switch to other similar but secure apps to continue your work in a hassle free manner.
