One of the alleged Twitter hackers faced a bail hearing in a Florida court yesterday.
With few or no security options turned on for the meeting, it turned into an eye-watering experience as one or more killjoys hijacked the Zoom session by sharing their own screens and bombarbing the other participants with heavy-duty pornography.
Apparently the hearing did reach some conclusions: the accused Twitter hacker, who is only 17 years old, had his request to reduce his bail amount refused.
Openness in a meeting room inside your company HQ, where there are probably security guards to keep the peace if needed, or public court hearings controlled in a similar way, are very different beasts from online meetings.
A few simple precautions will make it easier to stop disruptors crashing your meetings in the the first place, and quicker to boot out anyone who does get into the meeting but breaks your rules of conduct.
