The negativity here is astounding. This really comes down a company putting their money where their mouth is. Think about the reasons you'd decide to acquire Keybase. It certainly isn't for PR as most people have no idea what Keybase is.
What we are seeing is that Zoom is truly concerned about how their security posture is hurting their business. Remember they aren't the only game in town and there are plenty of competitors. Buying Keybase is an investment in their culture and longterm outlook.
- throwawaygo 6y agoBest thing they could have done. They purchased expertise and a brand that is untarnished and loved in security circles.
- decebalus1 6y ago> a brand that is untarnished and loved in security circles. It was just tarnished and unloved. Got notified this morning that I won't be able to access the public files of most of my 'security circle' on Keybase because they deleted their accounts.
- crazygringo 6y agoI couldn't agree more, and am disappointed that your comment is (right now) apparently quite downvoted. Zoom deserves credit for what they're doing. It's fine to reserve final judgment until we see how it all plays out over the next couple of years, but these are extremely good signs that Zoom is implementing a massive turnaround in security.
- yarrel 6y agoI am a Keybase user. I am disappointed by Keybase's impending doom. If that comes across as negative, it's because it is.
- decebalus1 6y ago> The negativity here is astounding. Should it not be? I love Keybase, I've been using it for a long time and it's such an important part of my daily workflow that I would be more than happy to be a paid subscriber. Now it's most likely gonna shut down. I find it hard to find any positivity in this.
