       https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52391531Investigations are under way after at least three Zoom meetings were infiltrated by people sharing footage of children being sexually abused.The latest incident occurred on Tuesday during a legal education seminar on the video conferencing platform.A law lecturer, who was a guest speaker at the online event, said his computer screen was "overtaken" by "incredibly distressing" footage.Zoom said it was "looking into" what had happened.The case has been referred to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, which is part of the National Crime Agency (NCA).James Lee, reader in English law at King's College London, told BBC News around 40 people were logged into the meeting, which had been publicised on social media.About 20 minutes in, as he delivered his presentation, the session was interrupted."All the screens were overtaken by someone sharing abuse images," said Mr Lee."I tried to pull all the plugs out of my computer."I've never seen anything like it - it was incredibly distressing."....................................................

       Zoom is terrifyingly insecure. My company has put in restrictions to stop people from using it in any capacity. I don't know much about its security holes, but my understanding is that it's basically got open doors that anyone can enter if they can harvest the room code. @HebrideanHecate

       I've had perfectly fine experiences with it.  I'm not saying these stories didn't happen but I sometimes wonder if what is going on with them is a reputational war by rival platform providers. Any communicative media can be used for evil, as we all know.    @DeadBreakfast @HebrideanHecate

       @kathleenbee @HebrideanHecateYes, they all have their flaws, its true. There's a brief mention of the "zoombombing" on here, as well as mention of meetings being recorded without permission by invading users.Interestingly, various institutions had already banned its use before the pandemic, so suspicions and found flaws have been around for a while.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-07/taiwan-bans-government-use-of-zoom-over-cybersecurity-concerns

       University College Dublin held a webinar last week (policy responses to covid19, as @FeartnTired says - I’m a girl who knows how to have fun).One of the panels was disrupted by an ‘attendee’ displaying a pornographic video. Which panel? ‘Invisibility & Violence: Gendered issues in a Covid 19 world’ 😡@DeadBreakfast @kathleenbee @HebrideanHecate
