Just a pet-peeve here: I am well aware if the CCP and how they run things in China as well as their hostilities against the west. But sending traffic or anything to or through China in itself is not a security risk. If the data goes through the US and you are european, whatever protocol weakness exists should also worry you because of possible network and server-side adversaries in the US.
"China" is a threat not a vulnerability is all I meant, and using it for hype-training seems dishonest.
I've had meetings with people in different companies using webex,goto meeting,skype , zoom,teams and hangouts. I found hangouts to be the most worrysome with regards to privacy (not security). A lot of the issues that keep popping up about zoom this week might also apply to the others (looking at you webex!).
Zoom became popular because you can see everyone's video all at once. They had a betterr product. Vulnerabilities don't make a product bad, how you handle them does! If anything, I would like someone to show me how the free security audit zoom received by the hype crowd this week does not make it a superior alternative (provided they continue patching it).
