As expected, Zoom has problems. Yesterday, one of the company's shareholders filed a lawsuit in the US for "overestimating privacy standards and concealing that its service was not end-to-end encrypted".
According to one Publication According to Reuters, shareholder Michael Drieu told the court that the latest media revelations about these privacy issues began to pose problems for the company's share.
Through a general chaos in the market brought by his pandemic COVID-19, the share price for Zoom Video, the company behind the app, rose from about $ 70 at the beginning of the year to $ 159,56 on March 23.
Last week, after several reports highlighting the gaps security of the app, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan apologized for the company's mistakes. He also stated that the company will stop developing new features the next 90 days to focus on security and privacy.
One of the main issues that has made the application weird is "Zoombombing", a practice used by pranksters to enter meetings, displaying pornographic material.
Last month, the FBI released a warning asking people not to use the platform.
A lot Companies και οργανισμοί έχουν απαγορεύσει την Zoom application. Η SpaceX απέστειλε ένα εσωτερικό έγγραφο στους υπαλλήλους της ζητώντας τους να μην χρησιμοποιούν την εφαρμογή για εσωτερικές συναντήσεις. Νωρίτερα αυτή την εβδομάδα η Νέα Υόρκη σταμάτησε την χρήση της εφαρμογής στις αίθουσες διδασκαλίας. Η Ταϊβάν επίσης δεν επιτρέπει σε κυβερνητικά στελέχη να χρησιμοποιούν την πλατφόρμα.
This lawsuit shows that those involved have lost confidence in how the company operates, and it will probably be very difficult for the popular app to rebuild things.
