Security News > 2020 > April > Will Zoom manage to retain security-conscious customers?

While Zoom Video Communications is trying to change the public's rightful perception that, at least until a few weeks ago, Zoom security and privacy were low on their list of priorities, some users are already abandoning the ship.

In the meantime, several governments and prominent companies have prohibited staff and employees from using Zoom for work.

According to Blind, who polled 4,392 professionals from various big US companies, 12% of professionals have completely stopped using Zoom due to security issues, and 9% are using Zoom less.

Another thing that can end up pushing some consumers off the Zoom wagon is the fact that criminals are actively phishing for Zoom user credentials and compromising them via credential stuffing attacks, then selling the accounts on hacker forums.

Finally, the fact that Zoom now presents a big target for hackers who are aiming to sell bugs they discover to the highest bidder might cool many a user's love for the popular video conferencing solution.
