Zoom Safety
Nearly every concern circulating in the media recently has been addressed by Zoom as of April 1, 2020 and is outlined in the “What we’ve done” section of the Zoom CEO’s blog post.
The list includes:
- Leaking data to Facebook
- UNC path security / exposing Windows passwords
- Mac OSX local privilege escalations
- Attendee tracking
- A “misbehaving” MacOS installer (addressed on April 2)
Zoom has also updated/clarified their privacy policy and released a blog post clarify what they do (and don’t do) for encryption. As noted in the blog post linked above, Zoom also committed to freezing all new features and focusing their resources on security and privacy over the next 90 days. This focus may very well lead to them implementing end-to-end encryption in addition to other security and privacy enhancements.
