Background for this topic.
A webinar is a live or recorded online session that lets a host present information, demonstrate software, and interact with remote participants through features such as chat, questions, screen sharing, and polls.

Security practitioners should treat webinar invitations and registration pages as potential phishing lures: verify the sender and destination before signing in or downloading meeting software. The webinar platform itself can expose sensitive material through weak authentication, excessive attendee permissions, unsecured recordings, screen sharing, chat, or participant data collection.
