Cybercriminals have found a new way to exploit Google Calendar APIs to bypass traditional security measures and deliver malicious payloads. This innovative attack vector leverages the trusted nature of Google services to infiltrate corporate networks and personal devices. By abusing calendar event invitations and notifications, attackers can execute phishing campaigns, distribute malware, and steal sensitive information without raising immediate suspicion. The use of Google Calendar APIs allows threat actors to blend their activities into legitimate traffic, making detection and prevention more challenging for cybersecurity teams. Organizations are urged to enhance their monitoring of API activities, implement strict access controls, and educate users about the risks associated with unsolicited calendar invites. This emerging threat highlights the evolving tactics of hackers and the need for continuous adaptation of security strategies to protect digital assets effectively.
