The FBI has received multiple reports of video teleconferencing and online classroom hijacking, also called “Zoom-bombing”, during the COVID-19.
As a surge of workers move to remote work during the Coronavirus quarantine, more people are using the remote conference tool, Zoom, to conduct meetings. But there are security concerns as “Zoom-Bombing”, the term used to hack into Zoom meetings, has surfaced disrupting your business meeting, or worse, sharing disturbing images and content.
