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.

Yup. They’re a software company. You think any of the competition hasn’t done odd routing? Guess again. Don’t know why you’ve got such a hardon against them, but really you need to get the hell over it. It’s just software that got lucky enough to be the tool people ran to.
Other than that, I just have a difficult time with people who are overly impressed with themselves. I prefer Freepers who are polite and professional, and can communicate without the need of showing everyone that they are an insufferable pompous ass.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Mr “I use Brave, so I don’t see popups” doesn’t like insufferable pompous asses?! BWAHAHAHA.
Just stating a fact.
Ha Ha???
Just self congratulating.
John Kincade, a host of a Sunday morning nationwide radio show and local radio guy for too many years was promoting ZOOM last week and said that he thinks it is the best product on the market and people should buy stock in it.

I'm sure they do! There is a lot of money to made with your personal data, so they want as much of your private information as possible! Seriously!
"Zoom shares data with enough advertisers and data crunchers, in enough states, that it would broadly qualify as selling your data. "
