Starting April 18th, Zoom customers that have payed for the service will now be able to choose the data center that calls can be routed from. This change is happening because most of the calls use encryption keys generated by data centers in China and can therefore be given to, and be monitored by Chinese officials. Zoom official has announced that there would be a 90-day feature freeze to address the security issues.

Many very important companies have banned the use of zoom because of random people joining meetings they are not supposed to be apart of. In-fact a lot of those “bomber’s” are there to record the video’s. There is also no way to truly prevent this from happening.

It seems on top of that change, Zoom is also acquiring a 25 person company called Keybase. This company is focused on encryption so hopefully we see better defense coming from Zoom. Heres the article:

Some of the calls that were made in North America were routed through China. The encryption keys to secure the calls were also routed through China. Zoom is the ones who control the encryption keys so they can access any contents on calls. Zoom accidentally allowed two Chinese data centers to accept calls as a backup in case the network become to congested.
