Zoom’s sudden spike in popularity is revealing its privacy (and porn) problems
If a month ago you'd never heard of Zoom, there's a good chance you're using it daily now. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the video conferencing service is the number one app in the world. With that popularity has come some scrutiny.
Privacy and security experts have recently exposed a number of problems with Zoom's software. One issue allows for something called "Zoombombing," which involves trolls jumping into random Zoom chats and playing porn or otherwise disrupting things. New York attorney general Letitia James recently sent Zoom a letter about these issues, and more legal problems aren't far behind.
Recode's Sara Morrison takes a look at the challenges that have accompanied Zoom's recent popularity. If you're a fan of the service, the good news is these issues can probably be fixed.
