Fake Zoom meeting “update” silently installs surveillance software

A deceptive website, uswebzoomus[.]com/zoom/, poses as a Zoom meeting platform and installs surveillance software on Windows devices without user consent. The software is a covert version of Teramind, a commercial monitoring tool. The site creates a fake Zoom waiting room experience, complete with scripted participants and background audio, to trick users into downloading a malicious file named zoomagentx64s-i(_941afee582cc71135202939296679e229dd7cced) (1).msi. This file is preconfigured to connect to an attacker-controlled Teramind server and operates in stealth mode, leaving minimal traces on the device. The installation process collects information about the device and is designed to evade detection by security tools. If users suspect they have been affected, they are advised not to open the downloaded file, check for its installation, and change passwords from a clean device.
