They insist on using Zoom for communication and send a link to join a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The link leads to a fake Zoom page with a loading screen that prompts users to download \u201cZoomInstallerFull.exe,\u201d which is actually malware.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/ftx-broker-ordered-to-repay-millions-after-misusing-funds\/\" title=\"FTX Broker Ordered to Repay Millions After Misusing Funds\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/ftx-1-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">FTX Broker Ordered to Repay Millions After Misusing Funds<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Once the malware is installed, it infiltrates the victim\u2019s computer and redirects them to the real Zoom platform, making the scam less noticeable. The malware adds itself to the Windows Defender exclusion list to avoid detection and begins extracting information while the user is distracted by the fake loading process.<\/p>\n<p>To stay under the radar, scammers frequently change their domain names. This is their fifth domain for this scam. Recently, there have also been reports of malicious emails from scammers posing as crypto influencers, containing attachments designed to install malware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto scammers have launched a new phishing attack using fake Zoom links to install malware on victims&#8217;
