They’re explaining how seriously they take security using Wordpress.
Many, many respectable businesses use WordPress for their brochureware or corporate blogs. In my experience, it's not a security nightmare if it's well maintained.
I worked in videoconferencing for a while. When it comes to meeting identifiers, striking the right balance between ease of use and security is really hard. On the one side, maximum ease-of-use is a name or code short enough for someone to say over the phone. "Here, just jump into the videoconferencing meeting 'mikefred' or 'john10' or '39584'". That works particularly well for small meetings where it's immediate obv…
Clicking a long I'd link takes practically training, and entering a short ID would only require training the salespeople how to generate one (would should only be a few clicks tops).
This way, a conference is secure by default and easy for people to join by link, and is still easily accessable by code for when needed.

Security pretty much always reduces usability - that’s the trade off.
I've been thinking about security and usability for a while. IMO a big part of use-ability issues are related to interfaces people have to interact with. This is mainly concerning authentication and crypto related processes. I generally like the idea of smartcards, or having some physical thing you carry around which is used to authenticate with systems.
One positive thing about all these horrendous security flaws that have been recently discovered in Zoom, due to its popularity, is that the company seems to be taking them seriously, recently instituting a feature freeze to focus on fixing them: https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/01/a-message-to-our-u... As a consequence, I suspect Zoom's security is more likely than not to improve going forward... although it wi…
Con: After the product was released :)
It's 1985 all over again: I'm in my bedroom running a ProDOS wardialer on my 300/1200 baud AppleModem; I have found zero computers, but it is fun watching the numbers flick past, hoping that I, too, can discover a WOPR and start global thermonuclear war.
Yeah but this time, it’s an easy as guessing a world leaders zoom meeting, and tricking them into believing something preposterous

>It's 1985 all over again i think it is even earlier than that: >Each Zoom conference call is assigned a Meeting ID that consists of 9 to 11 digits. 8 char passwd and 16 digit credit cards came way before 1985. Never mind, i have committed in memory our daily scrum 9 digit pin code :) Very convenient. And if somebody else were to dial in uninvited into our scrum ... well, it is at their own peril as it carries (espec…
Why doesn't Google Hangouts/Meet have this issue?
