I know it's beside the point, but who are these people heartless enough to break into Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to tell them how good Alchohol is?
There isn't even any monetary benefit. Who the heck thinks this is funny?
Trolls break into meetings on Zoom

#32Zoom lets you require passwords or require the host admit guests in meeting settings. This is the same as anything else you might find on Shodan. Secure defaults hurt mass adoption, and insecure defaults result in this. Zoom is part of one of our oldest industry traditions in this respect.

>"the primary way people communicate and gather for personal or professional reasons", I would be curious to see an article about why this happened? Is Zoom better than their countless competitors? They all seem pretty similar in my experience so why is it Zoom that is blowing up because of this and not any of the other companies?
I've used a fair amount of WebEx (hosting and attending "meetings"). I don't particularly like WebEx, but Zoom feels like a cheap knockoff in comparison. I think Zoom is doing a better job marketing to individuals than the older players in the market.
WebEx is challenging - I work with industry partners who use WebEx and it just seems clunky.
I do think WebEx does some things better than Zoom (I like to share 2-3 apps - for Zoom it's 1 at a time or entire desktop) but Zoom has led to better client adoption for us.

Does Zoom let you put a password on the room? Could that room have a password that is only known to the participants?
Yes and (in my experience) it displays it at the top of the screen!

Yes, and it did (according to somewhere else on the internet).

#36It feels like the tech news cycle is so predictable...
Stage 1: This company you probably hadn't heard of before is blowing up / changing the world!
Stage 2 (current stage): Actually it turns out this company has some unexpected problems!
Stage 3: Actually this company is actively contributing to society's One Big Problem!
Stage 4: Actually here is why Zoom actually isn't as bad as everyone thinks!
Stage 5: This OTHER company you probably hadn't heard of before is blowing up / changing the world!

That's not the only security leak in that photo.
Why would his security people allow him to do that?
Or do these guys just post this kind of stuff without even running it by their security folks?
To me, this sounds like a security 101 type issue.

I wonder if the Zoom TOS allows them to monetize this kind of conversation in any way?
