Here's a timeline of Zoom's rapid rise and the security problems that have come to light.
As the coronavirus pandemic forced millions of people to stay home over the past month, Zoom suddenly became the video meeting service of choice: Daily meeting participants on the platform surged from 10 million in December to 200 million in March.
With that popularity came Zoom's privacy risks extending rapidly to massive numbers of people. From built-in attention-tracking features to recent upticks in "Zoombombing" (in which uninvited attendees break into and disrupt meetings with hate-filled or pornographic content), Zoom's security practices have been drawing more attention -- along with at least three lawsuits against the company.
Here's everything we know about the Zoom security saga, and when it happened. If you aren't familiar with Zoom's security issues, you can start from the bottom and work your way up to the most recent information. We'll continue updating this story as more issues and fixes come to light.

How do you share and max security? Those are mutually exclusive goals.
English and reality often are forgotten when the herd joins one of these on line talk and surrender your data outfits.
My family’s doing Skype group video calls. Fun!
I never ceased to be amazed that with all of the millions of peeps involved in hardware design and software writing that anything works at all.
Especially when one [me] hooks up a melange of stuff manufactured over the last 30 years and gets it to work [more or less].

Yeah. All these companies, all these drivers, nobody following any standards for crap. And yet somehow, most of the time, things work.
I don't doubt your sentiment, but at least you don't have to worry about these incidents:
It seems like the laws of thermodynamics [Entropy] have been transcended.
Or things are open ended enough that things work anyway. Entropy doesn’t have to mean failure, just chaotic. I work pretty closely with tech support for the product I QA. Once a month they’ll come to me with something a customer has been doing and I react with “wait, that works?!”
Apparently much like the Human Body/Medical System [with the FDA pulled out of the mix.] It is pretty miraculous.
You should put that on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker. This could be a classic.
This brave new world of digital hardware/software is amazing.
Pretty much anything one can imagine can be implemented, in short order, if one has the will and just a few buck$.
bump for later
Yeah. It’s amazing how quickly we moved to working from home. Even the call center. Especially because my company historically has discouraged work from home. But really, flick of a switch, and then another switch to turn off our badges, and boom. We haven’t even lost much productivity.
Thanks.
THAT is very encouraging.

Hey China and Taiwan, didn't you get the memo? Just turn on the security and stop whining.

My bad.
Government. Different regs. Different situation. Also lower grade employees that can’t be trusted to turn on the damn security.
