German authorities warns in opposition to Zoom use

In response to German newspaper Handelsblatt, the German Ministry of International Affairs informed staff in a round this week to stop using Zoom due to security concerns. “Because of the associated risks for our IT system as a whole, we have, like other departments and industrial companies, also decided for the (Federal Foreign Office) not to allow the use of Zoom on the devices used for business purposes,” the ministry mentioned in a press release. 

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal courtroom, Zoom shareholder Michael Drieu accused the corporate of getting “inadequate data privacy and security measures” and falsely asserting that the service was finish-to-finish encrypted. Drieu additionally mentioned that media experiences and public admissions by the corporate on security problems have caused Zoom’s stock price to plummet.
