Due to the pandemic, most of the companies are started to work from home. Since they are working from home they need to interact with their clients and employees. For this reason, most of the people are using web platforms like skype, WebEx and other software platforms for the meetings and conferences. Since most of the platforms are paid most of the people searching for alternatives. Here comes Zoom. It is the free software that can be used by most of the companies for free. And it supports most of the features offered by the other platforms. So many people started using this. It uses a 9 - 11 digit code. Anyone with zoom software can join the meeting using that code. While Skype uses alphanumeric code and FaceTime uses AppleID for the login and attending meetings. Here the problem is whenever a user sends this code to others for connecting to the webinars and conferences hackers are getting these codes using middleware and they are going to these meetings. Many of them posting some graphic content and other issues are being made. This situation is called as ZoomBombing. Zoom has also compromised most of the user's FB credentials. Two lawsuits have been brought down on the company. Since it is the latest software to be used by most of the user's trust is going to be the greatest issue presently with the company. Companies like SpaceX has already banned the usage of the Zoom by their employees. Taking all these things into consideration Zoom has to solve these issues as quickly as possible. And it has taken measures like no new features will be added to the Zoom till 90 day period. Maybe this will be profited by this pandemic issue.
