Two very different takes on the recent @zoom_us vulnerabilities. @bcrypt/1245472251895361536 @MalwareTechBlog/1245477938293694466 I align with @malwaretechblog on this issue. While Zoom indeed has some issues, I think calling it a dumpster fire is unnecessary.Permalink
“From reading the news and Twitter I just assumed someone found a Zoom RCE. Turns out, no. Bug 1: clickable links are in fact clickable Bug 2 & 3: if an attacker already has access to your machine, they can do bad things.”

And I disagree strongly with the headline of @patrickwardle 's post. Although it's a fun title, I do not think the recent issues in Zoom is at all comparable with the real dumpster fire of IoT security in general. objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x56.htmlPermalink

And while I think issues should be published, I am not sure if full disclosure at this time is the best way. I guess @drfarley and Zoom Security team has enough to do already, and lower severity issues with a lot of media attention might force them to focus on the wrong thingsPermalink

IT Security is not binary, it's about balancing risks. And on the balance of things, having selected Zoom as our go-to telco tool at work I have no plans to change that. So far, the usability of Zoom outweighs the security issues and I don't think other solutions are much better

When balancing security vs usability, I am always reminded of this.Permalink
