Remember about web security during quarantine
Probably you are very interested whether remote conferencing apps are protected enough against hacking. That’s a really crucial question, especially when the whole world has moved to online format. It’s no wonder that a lot of hackers use such a situation with the COVID-19 outbreak as their chance to play with naive users.
During this rush time, the weaknesses of video conferencing services are revealed. “Zoom Video Communications Inc. was accused by a shareholder of hiding flaws in its video-conferencing app, part of a growing backlash against security loopholes that were laid bare after an explosion in worldwide usage, — as Bloomberg wrote. — Weak encryption technology has given rise to the phenomenon of “Zoombombing”, where uninvited trolls gain access to a video conference to harass the other participants. Recordings of meetings have also shown up on public internet servers”.
