New Zoom flaw could let hackers take over your device during a meeting
A newly discovered flaw in the Zoom app could let a criminal take control of a person’s device through a Zoom meeting. If abused, it could expose personal information, secretly turn on a camera or microphone, or install harmful software.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses the Zoom app on their computer or mobile device, especially people who join meetings often, is at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for Zoom asking to update, unusual device behavior after a meeting, unexpected pop-ups, or signs that your camera or microphone turned on without you intending it.
What to do
Update Zoom immediately on all devices and avoid joining meetings from devices that have not been updated.
