Zoom: lawsuit by a company shareholder

As expected, Zoom is in trouble. Yesterday, one of the company's shareholders filed a lawsuit on for "overestimating privacy standards and concealing the fact that its service was not end-to-end encrypted."

According to one Publication of Reuters, shareholder Michael Drieu said in that the latest media revelations surrounding these privacy issues began to trouble the company's stock.

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 application's security vulnerabilities, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan apologized for the company's mistakes. He also mentioned that the company will stop developing new features the next 90 days to focus on security and privacy.

One of the primary issues that have made the app weird is “Zoombombing”, a practice used by pranksters to enter meetings by displaying porn .

Last month, the FBI released a warning asking people not to use the platform.

A lot and organizations have banned the Zoom app. THE sent an internal document to its employees asking them not to use the app for internal meetings. Earlier this week, New York stopped using the app in classrooms. Taiwan also does not allow government officials to use the platform.

This lawsuit shows that those involved have lost it them about how the company operates, and it will likely be very difficult for the popular app to rebuild things.
