Zoom meeting is the most popular video meeting app, serving a large number of people, especially during this period when governments home confinement in view of the Coronavirus pandemic. However, a school in Norway has stopped using the popular app . This is due to an unforeseen incident that took place, as a naked man appeared on Zoom during a connection made for video teaching. According to the Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, the naked man appeared on Zoom in front of several young children during the video call. An expert who reported on the specific incident pointed out that some people are “searching for” links.
Last year, security told TechCrunch that malicious users can access and listen to any Zoom and Webex by finding and changing the video IDs. The researchers said this was possible because many video meetings are not protected by a password. Schools and workplaces around the world are turning to Zoom for video meetings as the number of people infected with the COVID-19 continues to rise. There are about 523,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide as of Thursday, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins University. Norway has so far had more than 3,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
More than 80% of the world's population is said to be under some form of lockdownin an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus and avoid overwhelming countries' healthcare systems. The ongoing global lockdown has forced companies to communicate with their staff working from home via the Zoom meeting app, which has become the most popular platform not only for remote workers but also for leisure and entertainment.
