Zoom's chief executive revealed on Tuesday that free users will not be offered end-to-end encryption as the company wants to assist the FBI and local law enforcement in their investigations. Zoom has promised to take action and it has already started implementing measures that would help it address security and privacy concerns.
Does your IT security model take into account things like pacemakers? According to Dr Victoria Baines, speaking at Infosec Europe, "We also perhaps neglect the idea that critical infrastructure might be inside people" as well as merely carried in their pockets. Baines was speaking during a panel webinar about protecting critical national infrastructure.
Cybersecurity researchers from Cisco Talos unveiled today that it discovered two critical vulnerabilities in the Zoom software that could have allowed attackers to hack into the systems of group chat participants or an individual recipient remotely. According to the researchers, successful exploitation of both flaws requires no or very little interaction from targeted chat participants and can be executed just by sending specially crafted messages through the chat feature to an individual or a group.

The campaign impersonates Zoom emails, but steals the Microsoft account credentials of its victims, says security firm Abnormal Security.
Schools, paying customers and potentially high-risk users could be offered stronger encryption for video meetings under new plans being explored by Zoom. Zoom is reported to be planning to strengthen its encryption for paying customers and other institutions such as schools.
Zoom meetings currently offer encryption but with certain limitations. Encryption is used to protect the identity of users, call data between Zoom clients and Zoom's infrastructure, and meeting contents.
Zoom announced this week that on May 22 it will publish a detailed draft of the cryptographic design it plans on using for its upcoming end-to-end encryption feature. As a result of increased scrutiny from privacy and security experts - as well as hackers targeting meetings - Zoom has started making improvements to its platform and it has promised to implement changes and new features that would significantly enhance security and privacy.
In 1965, Gordon Moore published a short informal paper, Cramming more components onto integrated circuits. Based on not much more but these few data points and his knowledge of silicon chip development - he was head of R&D at Fairchild Semiconductors, the company that was to seed Silicon Valley - he said that for the next decade, component counts by area could double every year.
