Lockdown is whole over the world. Amid this stretch, zoom, the video conferencing service, whose use has spiked, claims to have end-to-end encryption. However, the cybersecurity researchers have claimed that the zoom is using its own definition of end-to-end encryption.
With millions of people around the world working from home to slow the spread of the coronavirus, business is booming for Zoom, bringing more attention on the company and its privacy practices, including a policy, later updated, that seemed to give the company permission to mine messages and files shared during meetings for the purpose of ad targeting.
News(s) are coming up about 5,00,000 zoom accounts being compromised. Recently, the cyber risk assessment experts at Cyble discovered a hacker selling stolen Zoom credentials at dirt-cheap prices — and in some cases giving them away for free.
Usernames, email addresses, and passwords have been exposed by the billions over the past several years. Creating a new account on Zoom — or any service, for that matter — is simply not a good idea.
Hackers will come knocking. It’s not a question of if. It’s a question of when.
#Zoom chat allows you to post links such as \\x.x.x.x\xyz to attempt to capture Net-NTLM hashes if clicked by other users.— Mitch (@_g0dmode) March 23, 2020
NOW, Questions might arise like what now??
Google itself, and MOHA of India, have told people not to use ZOOM. They prefer using Hangout or TEAM to Zoom
