It hasn’t been a good week for Zoom. On top of the reports of zoom-bombing, there have been announced vulnerabilities in both the Windows and macOS versions of the Zoom Desktop Client which expose passwords or allows hackers to run elevated commands to exploit your workstation:

• New Zoom Hack Lets Hackers Compromise Windows and Its Login Passwords (thehackernews.com)
• Ex-NSA hacker drops new zero-day doom for Zoom (techcrunch.com)

An update was released today to address the Windows exploit, but it may take up to 24 hours for your client to notify you. It’s also always good to periodically check your version number to insure that you are still receiving updates. You can also force an update to your Zoom client since it doesn’t require administrative rights to be installed.

The current version of Zoom is 4.6.9 (19253.0401).
