   While the availability of video-conferencing technology has proven to   
   be a boon for many given the challenges of working remotely during the   
   COVID-19 pandemic, the use of such technology is not without privacy   
   and security risks. Unfortunately some users have fallen victim to   
   so-called "zoom bombing" or "zoom raiding" incidents whereby their   
   business meetings were hijacked by Internet trolls or hackers that   
   inserted racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, and/or profane imagery on their   
   screens and chat boxes or otherwise disrupted their audio feeds. Many   
   video teleconferencing platform providers were seemingly caught   
   unawares, scrambling to shore up their security settings by hastily   
   releasing updates in order to patch critical vulnerabilities and   
   convince users that they could continue online collaboration safely   
   without fear of unwanted intruders.
