Sens. Warren, Markey Seek Cybersecurity, Privacy Audit of Zoom

Zoom should release an independent review of cybersecurity and privacy practices (see 2004080051), Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., wrote Thursday: CEO Eric Yuan should “take all possible actions to protect” the security of users and students and to prevent “disturbing intrusions.” Report data on the “frequency and nature of Zoom classroom intrusions,” the lawmakers asked. The company appreciates "the outreach we have received from various elected officials and look forward to engaging with them," a spokesperson emailed. "Zoom is working around-the-clock to ensure that universities, schools, and other businesses around the world can stay connected and operational during this pandemic, and we take user privacy, security, and trust extremely seriously.”
