К платформе Zoom подан первый иск

31.03.2020, 15:14

В отношении сервиса видеоконференций Zoom подан первый иск по обвинению в незаконном разглашении личной информации.

Как сообщает Bloomberg, иск был подан в федеральный суд Сан-Хосе (штат Калифорния).

Как утверждает истец Роберт Каллен, сервис собирает информацию, когда пользователи устанавливают его приложение или открывают его, и делится этой информацией, например, с Facebook.

При этом политика конфиденциальности Zoom не предупреждает пользователей о том, что их данные могут оказаться в распоряжении третьих сторон.

Истец утверждает, что Zoom нарушает закон штата Калифорния о защите конфиденциальности потребителей, и требует оштрафовать компанию и выплатить ему компенсацию.

Zoom’s sudden spike in popularity is revealing its privacy (and porn) problems

Zoom’s best month could also be its worst.

By Sara Morrison Mar 31, 2020, 2:50pm EDT

Zoom, the videoconferencing app that’s dominating our coronavirus-created work, school, and social lives, is more popular than ever.

With this popularity has come a wave of scrutiny, and Zoom’s new users have been joined by a lawsuit, a letter from a state attorney general, and accusations of shady privacy practices.

On Monday, Zoom found itself the recipient of not just a letter from New York Attorney General Letitia James but also a class action lawsuit, both over privacy issues that have been brewing since even before the coronavirus existed but which gained momentum once seemingly everyone began using it.

Maybe we shouldn’t use Zoom after all

Zack Whittaker

@zackwhittaker / 11:00 pm MSK • March 31, 2020

It’s the latest examples of the company having to spend the last year mopping up after a barrage of headlines examining the company’s practices and misleading marketing. To wit:

Apple was forced to step in to secure millions of Macs after a security researcher found Zoom failed to disclose that it installed a secret web server on users’ Macs, which Zoom failed to remove when the client was uninstalled. The researcher, Jonathan Leitschuh, said the web server meant any malicious website could activate Mac webcam with Zoom installed without the user’s permission. The researcher declined a bug bounty payout because Zoom wanted Leitschuh to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which would have prevented him from disclosing details of the bug.

Zoom was quietly sending data to Facebook about a user’s Zoom habits — even when the user does not have a Facebook account. Motherboard reported that the iOS app was notifying Facebook when they opened the app, the device model, which phone carrier they opened the app, and more. Zoom removed the code in response, but not fast enough to prevent a class action lawsuit or New York’s attorney general from launching an investigation.

Zoom came under fire again for its “attendee tracking” feature, which, when enabled, lets a host check if participants are clicking away from the main Zoom window during a call.

A security researcher found that the Zoom uses a “shady” technique to install its Mac app without user interaction. “The same tricks that are being used by macOS malware,” the researcher said.

Zoom hit with class-action lawsuit for sharing user data with Facebook

Written by Sean Lyngaas

MAR 31, 2020 | CYBERSCOOP

A California man on Monday filed a class-action lawsuit against Zoom, alleging the video conferencing service illegally shared user data with Facebook.

With its popularity surging during the novel coronavirus pandemic, Zoom “has failed to properly safeguard the personal information of the increasingly millions of users” that use the app, the lawsuit alleges.

The complaint accuses Zoom of violating the California Consumer Privacy Act, which requires companies to give consumers notice when they collect and use their personal information.

The lawsuit cites a report last week from Vice News, which found that Zoom’s iOS app had been using a Facebook login feature to send the social media giant details on Zoom users. Those details included the model of a user’s device, their phone carrier, and what time zone they were in, the report said.

Hackers have targeted the video-conferencing service because of its popularity, leading to a warning to consumers from the FBI about so-called “Zoom-Bombing” incidents. And a lawsuit filed Monday in California claims Zoom ZM, -6.24% allegedly gave users’ personal data to Facebook Inc. FB, -4.31% and other outside companies without fully informing customers.

10 Zoom alternatives for more secure, cross-platform video calls

Michael Potuck

@michaelpotuck - Apr. 1st 2020 1:06 pm PT

Skype & Microsoft Teams

If you’re looking for a solid alternative to for calls up to 50 people, Skype is a nice cross-platform option. It’s free, has a much better track record than Zoom for security and privacy, and is owned by Microsoft.
