Save web conferences from cyber criminals: Warns CERT-In, MHA

Organisations and individuals taking the help of web conferencing to work from home should guard against the “prying eyes” of cyber fraudsters as attacks engineered by them could lead to compromise of sensitive information, a CERT-In advisory said on Thursday.

The advisory said fraudsters prowling over the internet have found web conferencing “an opportunity to conduct unauthorised activities resulting in obtaining of sensitive information of individuals and organisations such as employee information, product knowledge, trade secrets, among others”.

“It is necessary to protect confidential data from prying eyes,” the recommendation accessed by PTI said.
