Latest Status of Vulnerabilities in Zoom

Due to Covid-19, the situation of working remotely is spreading all over the world. As a natural consequence of this, the use of video conferencing software is also increasing. One of the most used software in this area is Zoom.

It has become a favorite of many users in a short time with its features such as Zoom, easy usage and virtual background. However, with the detection of security holes recently, black shadows fell on the application.

Of course, Zoom published a statement in a short time; A Message to Our Users. The article talks about the large number of users reached in a short time due to the developments;

"We also feel an immense responsibility. Usage of Zoom has ballooned overnight – far surpassing what we expected when we first announced our desire to help in late February. This includes over 90,000 schools across 20 countries that have taken us up on our offer to help children continue their education remotely.

To put this growth in context, as of the end of December last year, the maximum number of daily meeting participants, both free and paid, conducted on Zoom was approximately 10 million. In March this year, we reached more than 200 million daily meeting participants, both free and paid..."

So what are the vulnerabilities in Zoom or what measures have been taken? IT media technology editor Ken Miyata has published a nice article describing his observations and comments about the vulnerability in Zoom.

For example, there is a service for Mac users regarding the installation of the application without clicking. However, some users do this; "Turns out they (ab) use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to / Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed)." criticized with comments in the form.

Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, gave the following answer;

" Thank you for your feedback! We implemented to balance the number of clicks given the limitations of the standard technology. To join a meeting from a Mac is not easy, that is why this method is used by Zoom and others. Your point is well taken and we will continue to improve."

You can read other observations and suggestions about Zoom from Miyata's article.

KitKat Japonya’da piyasaya sürüldüğünde Japonlar hemen birşey farketti; “Kitto Katsu” Japonlar ya da genel olarak Uzakdoğu toplumları uğur, uğursuzluk, lanet konularında hassaslar.

Bunun yanında “8” (hachi) sayısı, zenginlik, servet anlamına gelen Çince sözcüğe benzerliğinden dolayı Asya kültürü’nde en sevilen sayıdır . Pekin Yaz Olimpiyatları’nın açılış tarihini hatırlayan var mı? Söyleyelim; 08.08.08 ’de saat tam 08.08.08 ’de. Bu işin avantajları da yok değil. Örneğin Nestle ’nin KitKat çikolatası’nın Japonya’da en çok tercih edilen çikolatalardan biri olduğunu biliyor muydunuz? Bunun nedeni, çikolatanın isminden dolayı uğur getirdiğine inanılması. KitKat Japonya’da piyasaya sürüldüğünde insanlar hemen birşey farketti. Çikolata’nın ismi “Daima kazan!” anlamına gelen Japonca “Kitto Katsu” sözcüğüne benziyordu. Zamanla öğrenciler arası...
