According
to Wavy 10 a Zoom class between a local private school teacher and her students
was hijacked and inappropriate material was shared with the class. These types of incidents have appeared recently
in many Zoom meeting settings across the country.
In the wake
of the coronavirus pandemic, many businesses have sent employees home to
telework. With telework; the meetings
that would have typically been in person are now being hosted virtually through
platforms such as Zoom. With the
increase in organizations using Zoom and other virtual platforms; The FBI
recommends the following to protect your cybersecurity:
- Do not make meetings or classrooms public
- Do not share a link to a teleconference or classroom on
social media
- Manage screen sharing options
- Use the updated version of any remote meeting
application — including the newest version of Zoom, which was updated in
January
- Ensure the organization’s telework policy addresses
requirements for physical and information security
Victims
of teleconference hijacking or other cyber-crimes should report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint
Center. If you receive a specific threat during a
teleconference, report it to the FBI online or at
