details; it is all about privacy elements that can be stolen
by them. Based on The Star on Sunday 12 April 2020, about
352 accounts’ information on the Zoom application has been
compromised including a healthcare provider in the United
States and seven more from educational institutions. The
cybersecurity cases have also increased by 82.5 per cent
during movement control order (MCO).
About 838 incidents have been reported to CyberSecurity
Malaysia between 18th March and 7th April. Fraud, intrusion,
and cyberharassment are the most common types of cases
recorded during MCO. The increased use of technology is
the factor of incidents that happen.
The use of social media, online meeting applications,
and online purchasing is the reason which contributes to the
rise of these cases day by day. The hackers can notify the
user of their Transaction Authorisation Code (TAC) and if
the user gives it to the hacker, the money can be stolen and
deducted in their bank account.
As the coronavirus pandemic constrained a huge
number of individuals to remain at home in the course of
recent months, Zoom unexpectedly turned into the video
meeting administration of choice. Daily gathering members
on the platform flooded from 10 million in December 2019
to 200 million in March and 300 million day by day meeting
members in April.
Unfortunately, recent findings have shown that the
personal video conference application is also hacked.
After instances of classroom Zoom bombings, including
an episode where programmers broke into a class meeting
and showed an insignia on understudies’ screens, the FBI
gave an open admonition on Zoom’s security vulnerabilities.
The association prompted teachers to encrypt video calls
with passwords and to secure gathering security with as of
now accessible protection included in the product.
Now, a lot of organizations and countries have banned
the use of Zoom applications due to the rise of cybersecurity
cases. For example, SpaceX prohibited employees from
using Zoom due to privacy and security concerns.
Other than that, the Taiwan government, Singapore, and
German warned against and disallowed the use of Zoom.
The United States Department of Defense or Pentagon also
restricted Zoom use to avoid data from being stolen.
Cybersecurity insight firm Cybele found that more than
500,000 Zoom accounts are being sold on the dark web and
programmer gatherings, as indicated by a Monday report
from Bleeping Computer. The records are being sold for
not exactly a penny each, with some being parted with for
nothing.
Zoom clients are encouraged to change their passwords
and to check the information penetration notice site, Have
I Been Pwned, to help decide if their email addresses were
among those spilled in the assault.
