If you are hosting Zoom events advertised to large number of people, consider changing your settings to disallow screen-sharing by anyone. Look for these settings:
Screen sharing
Allow host and participants to share their screen or content during meetings
Who can share?
Host Only
All Participants
Who can start sharing when someone else is sharing?
Short summary: don’t share the meeting ID more than you have to, use a password in addition to a meeting ID, use the waiting room if you can, and pay attention to who has what permissions.
What about Encryption? Is end-to-encryption by default now?
There’s an advanced setting for using AES on all 3rd party endpoints. Is that needed to be turned on?
Wish me & my brothers weekly livestreams (Ben.VVarner.com) were getting #ZoomBombed. We could do with some more viewers. @horace you’d like it incidentally! You finding any ways of doing comedy in quarantine?
A live dash is a great idea in principle.
However, my philosophy of data viz is only visualize what you can action change based on. Are there other more pertinent stats to an individual? Perhaps would require location tracking?
AFAIK, Zoom does not have E2E and they have clarified it publicly.
I think I agree visualization makes sense for something actionable. Having a dashboard here, however, is primarily for convenience and a good reminder of how serious this situation is.
The only other useful stats/visualization that I find helpful are projections made by UW IMHE (also linked above in OP): COVID-19.
Zoom acqui-hired Keybase to deploy some of the world’s best experts in improving their security: Keybase joins Zoom
I have been a Keybase user for over 5 years primarily for managing web identity, and think this is such a great move to improve the security of an app that is used by millions these days. I do not, however, understand why Keybase users are abandoning in revolt (apart from the uncertainty associated with the future of the Keybase ecosystem).
