Federal Regulators Accuse Zoom Of Misleading Users About Security
Source: CBS DFW
CThe FTC filed a complaint against Zoom stating Zoom promised "End-to-end encryption," a way to protect consumers on sensitive calls so only the sender and the recipient could see and hear.
It says Zoom told users that recorded meetings would be secure, but "In reality, Zoom kept encrypted recordings on its servers for up to 60 days before moving them to its secure cloud storage."
The FTC says Zoom put software on Mac computers that "Could have allowed strangers to spy on users through their computer's web cameras."
"The security of our users is a top priority for Zoom. We take seriously the trust our users place in us every day, particularly as they rely on us to keep them connected through this unprecedented global crisis, and we continuously improve our security and privacy programs. We are proud of the advancements we have made to our platform, and we have already addressed the issues identified by the FTC. Today's resolution with the FTC is in keeping with our commitment to innovating and enhancing our product as we deliver a secure video communications experience."
