The Lessons We’re Learning From Zoom
Amidst the COVID-19 chaos, Zoom has been the answer to continuing personal and professional communication throughout the quarantine.
While Zoom has been the solution to #socialdistancing, recent issues with basic security practices culminated with “Zoombombing’’, has left some users wary to continue using the Zoom platform.
And for good reason, here are some lessons that can be learned from Zoom’s recent security breaches:
- There’s a revolving door on our privacy:
When you give your data to one company, there’s no knowing where else it will end up because so much happens behind the black box of company security.
2. There’s A Reason Zoom Is Downloaded Directly From the Web:
Have you ever noticed that unlike most downloads, which are done through Apple’s official Mac App Store or Windows App Store, Zoom’s software downloads directly from the web? Hmm… seems a little suspicious now, right?
By having consumers download Zoom directly from the web, Zoom avoids ‘living’ in an environment that would have restricted it’s access to Apple and Microsoft operating systems. So… be careful about what you download.
3. If It’s Hackable, It Will Be Hacked:
Zoom’s lack of privacy and security left the opportunity for their platform to be hacked, and well with everyone bored and quarantined, enter “Zoombombing”
