I've seen increasing use of Zoom at my agency for training classes. My
colleagues' kids connect to their schools during lockdown via zoom sessions.
When i was doing ground school for my instrument rating, and my CFII was out of
town, he hosted the sessions on zoom.

Otherwise, I  haven't had a chance to read the MS-ISAC report on it. If I do
get a chance I'll reply again.
