Pandemic-sensation teleconferencing app Zoom will be paying USD$85 million (~RM359 million) as settlement over a lawsuit claiming that the San Jose-based company had breached user privacy. These includes sharing data without consent to tech companies like Facebook, Google and LinkedIn, as well as allowing hackers to hijack meetings of other users through an act called “zoombombing.” Aside from the $85 million, the preliminary settlement also requires Zoom to increase security measures, such as alerting users when meetings are using third-party apps, and to provide specialised training to employees on privacy and data handling.
