Zoom Hits 300 Million Daily Users <br />Despite Security Problems Just this past December, the video <br />chat service reported 10 million users. As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, <br />Zoom's activity has exploded in recent months. According to The Verge, it revealed a huge <br />increase to 200 million at the start of April. The Verge adds that Zoom's use <br />has jumped 50 percent since then. The increase comes despite security experts and <br />the FBI saying default settings are not secure. In 2019, Apple removed Zoom software after it <br />was revealed websites could take over cameras. There is also the "Zoombombing" issue, where pranksters <br />have entered random calls to show "shock content." In response, Zoom recently released <br />its 5.0 version to combat security <br />and privacy problems. 5.0 heightens encryption, security for meetings <br />and users must now have a default password.
