It makes it very easy for developers to understand how users use the app (features that are used more heavily than others, differences between Apple and Android users, etc.) This is extremely useful to developers, and a pain to create from scratch, so a LOT of apps rely on this. Facebook has a tool called Facebook Analytics. OMG THEY SOLD MY IPHONE DATA TO FACEBOOK/etc. This is incredibly useful if you're teaching for example, it's a feature requested by educators. OMG ZOOM CAN SEE IF I SWITCH TO ANOTHER APP. It's still a problem, just likely not for you.
So this is a risk if you leave your MacBook running in your hotel room. The recently publicised problem actually requires the hacker to already have physical access to your Mac. OMG ZOOM CAN BE HACKED TO SHOW MY CAMERA. Zoom now defaults to requiring a password to join a meeting, which eliminates this risk. Turns out that if you try enough times, you can stumble into a running meeting & presumably annoy people trying to work. To keep meeting ID's manageable by most humans, they are a randomly generated 8 digit code. OMG ZOOMBOMBING - PEOPLE CAN JOIN RANDOM MEETINGS. There is ZERO evidence for calling Zoom "malware". Security-related bugs have priority for pretty much all software companies. Zoom has bugs, like ALL software, and they fix those bugs. There is precisely zero argument about this. Rest assured that people who get to have those conversations already know that. organisations.ĭO NOT USE ZOOM FOR NATIONAL SECURITY CONVERSATIONS. I have no affiliation with Zoom whatsoever, have spent many years in information security, including infosec work for govt. Vast majority of these articles are just sensationalist BS, and you really don't need to stress about this. Many of us have come to rely on Zoom in the last few weeks, so seeing these is bit stressful - Apple made privacy a key differentiator over the last few years, and none of us wants to be installing malware on our shiny hardware. Every day there seems to be some new article about another problem with Zoom on the Mac.
