I don’t get why people didn’t drop it after that major vulnerability last year
- throw554323 6y agoSame reason people didn’t drop Windows, Mac OS, Intel, and other companies that had vulnerabilities.
- noobermin 6y agoThe vulnerabilities here are comparable to those reported on the OS vendors and Intel but installing spyware is another level.
- enriquto 6y agoA major vulnerability with a sincere response is not that bad. Software is very difficult. What killed my respect for the zoom team was the PR bullshit that they engaged in after it was discovered. Major companies have been known to fuck up and recall their faulty products or offer reasonable solutions (e.g. exploding batteries on the note 7, the intel chip bugs). The reaction shown by zoom was that of a whiny child caught in the act of stealing cookies and denying it all ---"Those are not really cookies you see!" It was so ridiculous it was not even offensive.
- petargyurov 6y agoBecause 99% of people that use it are non-technical and don't care or don't think they're at risk. The news of such vulnerabilities probably doesn't even reach them.
- epanchin 6y agoWhy do you lock your front door with a Yale key when you know it can be picked?
- m3kw9 6y agoSame reason why people don’t drop windows or any OS for the last couple decades.
- Shorel 6y agoI had no idea Zoom even existed before the Covid quarantines of this year.
- __m 6y agoI saw them on HN when they allowed to remotely turn on the Webcam on Macs.
