Ask HN: Zoom hacked/forced Zoom password reset?
Was Zoom hacked? I use randomly generated passwords for every site that are unique but Zoom logged me out this morning and then told me I need to reset my password because:
> Your username and password have been compromised on 3rd-party site or app. To secure your Zoom account, update your password.

I know for a fact I never used that password elsewhere, did this happen to anyone else? And/or is the message they show just bad/wrong?
- cameron_b 4y agoAre you in an enterprise account or a stand-alone? I have a few contacts, but haven't heard anything or been advised on password-based security measures. I know for certain that they are ratcheting up their restrictions, so there may be some sort of false flag ( or false messaging, we see that too ) correlated to implementing a security control.
- LinuxBender 4y agoPerhaps it could it be related to their 2020 incidents? [1] If you have a corporate account then your security/legal team should be able to ask them for more details as they would have signed an NDA. For personal accounts I think the best one could do is open a ticket and hope for a non boiler plate answer.

- techlaw 4y agoThis has happened to us twice in the past week and a half. All of our passwords are randomly generated with entropy greater than 150 bits. Have seen several others reporting this as well.
