Keypoints
- Attackers create or compromise Zoom accounts to send scam notes via Zoom’s email sharing feature.
- The emails are sent from [email protected], passing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication checks.
- Gmail auto-forwarding is exploited to bypass send limits and appear as directly from Zoom.
- The scam emails retain authentication headers and branding, making them highly convincing.
- Mitigation includes configuring mail flow rules, user training, and reporting suspicious activity.
