Cybercriminals have launched a new series of phishing attacks which attempt to steal the account credentials of Cisco Webex users by utilizing fake certificate error warnings.

Just as other video conferencing software has seen a huge uptick in usage by remote workers during the pandemic, so to has Cisco's video and team collaboration solution.

So far the campaign, which uses graphics and formatting taken from legitimate Cisco emails to impersonate the company, has already sent out phishing emails to up to 5,000 Webex users according to the email security firm Abnormal Security. The attackers try to lure in users by inducing a sense of urgency in their phishing emails that are designed to closely resemble the automated SSL certificate error alerts that the company sends out to its customers.
