Coronavirus: Zoom is in everyone's living room - how safe is it?

Zoom, the video-conferencing app thathas visible a big rise in downloads because quarantines have been imposed across the world, is now being utilized by millions for paintings and social gatherings.

This week Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted a image of himself chairing a Cabinet assembly through the app.

This led to questions about how secure it became for authorities meetings.

Zoom has angrily defended its security record, saying it would solution any questions the government had.

The MoD instructed that Zoom had by no means been used for high-safety meetings, however persisted to be a device for cross-authorities chats.

Later, a Cabinet Office spokesperson moved to clarify the authorities's position: "In the contemporary unprecedented situations the want for powerful channels of conversation is vital. National Cyber Security Centre guidance indicates there may be no protection cause for Zoom no longer for use for conversations beneath a certain classification."

But Zoom turned into actually angered by using tips that it become not entirely secure.

"Zoom takes user safety extremely seriously," .

"We are in close verbal exchange with the UK Ministry of Defence and National Cyber Security Centre and are focused on imparting the documentation they need".
Exactly what this documentation is, neither Zoom, the National Cyber Security Centre nor the MoD were able to say.
