The genuine Cisco WebEx is in no way connected to the rogue software misusing its name, and is not the only company to be affected in this manner. Since Cisco WebEx is highly accessible - for example, it offers cross-platform products (i.e., capable of working on various operating systems) and certain free services/plans - it is a prime target for criminals seeking to exploit its popularity for malicious purposes.Īs observed by ESET research, adware developers/distributors have started promoting their products under the guise of Cisco WebEx applications.
Recently, due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for such software has increased, and this has been noted and exploited by cyber criminals. "Cisco WebEx virus" is a generic term used to describe unwanted and malicious software, distributed and disguised as content relating to Cisco Webex products.Ĭisco Webex is the name of a legitimate company developing web conferencing and videoconferencing software, notably Webex Meetings, Webex Teams, Training Center, Event Center, Support Center, Sales Center, MeetMeNow and so on.
