Zoom Update Boosts Privacy And Security. Let us begin with this: Nothing on the Internet is secure. Just get over it. Some Internet apps are more secure in different ways. Suck it up. Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about the subject de jour, video conferencing. Yes, Virginia, we are doing more of it. No, Virginia, none of the video conferencing apps is immune from hackers and script kiddies who want to photo bomb you. But, as with all things Internet, security mostly lies between your ears. Educate yourself. Use the tools. Use passwords. Limit the persons you invite to your conferences, and don't publish the links on public sites. This isn't brain surgery. Now, if you want to extend encryption, there are improvements that can be made. Zoom, the most popular choice, has updated its software to meet this need. But, even lawyers talking to clients aren't required to have 100% security. The word "reasonable" is used for a reason. Jeez.
