Zoom’s video conferencing software has more problems than a secret web server on Mac.
Even on Windows, websites you visit could start filming you without your consent.
All you have to do is click a link.
That’s a box nearly anyone would check to skip extra clicking in the future.
WeA didn’t click any prompts or give any approval.
Without interaction on your part, malicious sites could easily record you as long as you have Zoom installed.
You do see the Zoom window and it’s clear you’re being recorded.
However, a malicious website could capture some video of you before you stopped the video conference.
This is a huge issue.
We recommend uninstalling Zoom if you don’t use it frequently.
On macOS, don’t forget tocheck for the web serverand uninstall it too.
Unfortunately, Zoom’sofficial responseto the situation seems to suggest the company considers this a feature and not a problem.
Hopefully, it understands the full severity of the issue soon and changes course.
