Govt of India issues advisory, says Zoom not secure video conferencing platform
PrintControversy-ridden video conferencing platform Zoom has ‘eventually’ come under the radar of the Government of India. The Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday put out a detailed two-page long advisory for Zoom users in India, to safeguard their ‘virtual’ meetings from prying eyes, deeming the video conferencing platform ‘unsafe.’
Zoom has been in the eye of the storm lately, as surge in usage and growing popularity have also brought to light, ‘major’ privacy and security issues around the world. The video conferencing platform that has seemingly become an overnight sensation during the ongoing Coronavirus crisis has been quick to bounce back with solutions to some of these issues, but, somehow, newer, more concerning issues keep piling up every other day.
The advisory, which is specifically meant for private individuals and not Government officials or officials for official purpose, highlights ways to prevent unauthorized entry in the conference room, prevent an authorized participant to carry out malicious (attack) on the terminals of others in the conference, and avoid DoS attack by restricting users through passwords and access grant. #casansaar (Source - Twitter, Financial Express)
