Unauthorized connection to live-streamed conference meeting
Event description
Today, oil and gas industry workers were celebrating the national oil workers' day at the F Oil Refinery hotel complex. The event was hosted by Tube with great fanfare, with the president of the country's oil and gas union among the invited guests. For those who could not attend the celebration in person, a video conference call was set up. However, the festive atmosphere was soon disturbed by an unknown call participant. Someone using the nickname golden_chicken joined the Zoom live stream. Taking advantage of the screen sharing permission, the intruder hijacked control from the moderator and played a video calling for the abandonment of technology and a return to the ancestors' way of living. The intruder also obtained the mailing list; several people have received phishing emails from the "union president" suggesting that they click a link to "get a gift". Tube's management has already commented on the incident, saying that the breach was made possible by the critical vulnerabilities in an outdated Zoom version used for video calls. The software has already been updated, and the moderation process at meetings is being reviewed.
