Zoom to Pay Out $85 Million in 'Zoombombing' Lawsuit (Tech.co)

Have you been a victim of Zoombombing? If so, now might be time to cash in. On Thursday the 21st of April, a lawsuit settlement agreement that will see Zoom ...

In one instance of Zoombombing, the Saint Paulus Lutheran Church in San Francisco was targeted during a bible study class. In addition to this cash pay out, the lawsuit will also see Zoom implement reforms to its business practices. On Thursday the 21st of April, a lawsuit settlement agreement that will see Zoom Video Communications pay out $85 million in cash compensation was officially passed. Zoombombing is a form of cyber-harassment where uninvited users gate crash online meetings. While Zoom denies any wrongdoing in the case and the court absolves its legal responsibility, many involved in the case believe that the software company is obligated to protect the security and privacy of its users. However, Molumphy makes it clear that the company isn't directly responsible for the Zoombombs, saying “I think to some extent Zoom was a victim of its own creation; it just exploded in the middle of Covid and in many ways it wasn’t ready for the amount of usage of its platform, particularly in its privacy and encryption practices.”
