Zoom bugs fetch $5-30k on Dark Web

NEW DELHI : Video meet app Zoom has become a treasure trove for hackers who have zeroed in on it to find privacy and security bugs and make money. One hacker interviewed by Motherboard, who claims to have traded exploits found in Zoom on the black market, said that Zoom flaws typically sell for between $5,000 to $30,000.

The vulnerabilities— everything from webcam or microphone security to sensitive data like passwords, emails, or device information — are being sold on the Dark Web. However, hackers said that Zoom flaws don’t sell for high figures compared to other exploits.

According to Devashish Sharma, CTO at Flock, it is crucial for businesses to have to right security apparatus in place to avoid confidential organisational data falling into the wrong hands.
