India has banned the use of video-conferencing app Zoom for government remote meetings, the government said Thursday, in the latest warning about the platform's security.
"Zoom is not a safe platform," the statement said.
Last week Taiwan advised government agencies against using videoconferencing apps with security concerns, such as Zoom.
Zoom has sought to make improvements to its application as security concerns mount.
The Indian government order came days after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted a picture of himself chairing a Zoom video conference with senior ministry and military officials.
