requesting info on current tech events
Could someone tell me 1) what is wrong with zoom security-wise and is it something I need to be worried about considering our school and our doctor use it for remote meetings and 2) what is keybase and why is it bad that zoom bought it

@Felthry Zoom has had a number of security issues to the point where people recommend using the in-browser version/ running the desktop client sandboxed/ running the iOS version. There's a good list on Wikipedia. The one that probably caught the most attention is "zoombombing" because at times you could just brute force meeting keys and connect to random meetings, most notably one the British government did (and also a bunch people connecting to classrooms showing porn and the like, you know how it is on the internet)

@Felthry keybase is a key directory that you can connect to your public-facing accounts like Twitter, Github or even Mastodon but at some point they added some cryptocurrency bullshit. Zoom probably bought them to get some people with crypto know-how in their company but that doesn't guarantee that they're gonna improve their crypto
