Recently, we wrote to you about the Zoom video conferencing sending telemetry data of users to the Facebook servers. Despite the fact that the application has been updated and the error has been corrected, security experts once again have reservations about this software.

First of all, conversations in the application are not covered by controlled encryption. In addition, Zoom installs a hidden network server on computers of Mac users, which remains on the device even after the software has been uninstalled. This involves the risk that a third party may turn on the camera remotely on your computer without permission.

The application is criticized for its user tracking function, a significant number of hacked conference calls has also been detected.

Zoom issued a statement in which it was announced that the work on new features has been suspended and that the focus will be shifted to introduction of new security features in the application.
