It was discovered that cybercriminals can launch a sophisticated attack to trick a user into downgrading to a less secure version of Zoom – This was affecting people who were using versions of Windows before 5.10.0. By doing this they not only retrieve the user’s data but also make their device vulnerable.
However, the security flaw has reportedly been fixed, but TDRA still urged UAE residents to upgrade their programs to the latest version.
Make sure you take the necessary precautions to avoid situations like these🙏
