Zoom warns about a critical security risk
Zoom has warned about a serious flaw in its Windows desktop app and related software tools that could let an outside person take over a user’s account. People who use Zoom on Windows should update quickly to reduce the risk.
Who is at risk
Anyone using the Zoom desktop app on a Windows computer is most at risk, especially if the app has not been updated recently.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected Zoom logins, account setting changes, strange meeting activity, or messages saying your account details were changed when you did not make those changes.
What to do
Immediately update the Zoom app on all Windows computers to the latest version and sign out of other sessions if anything looks unusual.
