Dave calls it "terrible reporting" but I& #39;ll DEFEND writer @kari_paul for summarizing the cybersecurity community& #39;s own #hyperbole.
Dave notes the story includes NO comments from "security researchers." Okay then, let& #39;s do a 7-part thread on THEIR #invectives toward Zoom! https://twitter.com/HackingDave/status/1245879311015579649">https://twitter.com/HackingDa...

2/7 We& #39;ll begin with @HackingDave himself. I wouldn& #39;t call him an "advocate" for Zoom but he DOES feel compelled to defend them from hyperbole. I& #39;ve got zero complaints about his efforts.
This here might be the worst thing he& #39;s said about Zoom: https://twitter.com/HackingDave/status/1244987758873116679">https://twitter.com/HackingDa...

3/7 Let& #39;s move on to @hacks4pancakes. She& #39;s opined on Zoom& #39;s response to bug reports since 8 July 2019. She& #39;s expressed "sympathy" for Zoom yet pummeled them as well. Her adverbs & adjectives include
"woefully"
"utterly"
"disheartening"

4/7 Now on to @MalwareJake. He too, has opined on Zoom& #39;s security issues since 8 July 2019. His words include
"disappointed"
"it& #39;s the old & #39;we care deeply about your privacy& #39; routine"
"lack of action"
"freaking tone deaf" (!)
"horrendously"

5/7 A quick aside for @aionescu who wryly observed the #hyperbole among cybersecurity experts before @kari_paul& #39;s story hit the newsstands:
"Re: this Zoom UNC Path & #39;ex-NSA Zero Day& #39; (I love infosec fearmongering)" https://twitter.com/aionescu/status/1245470248314126336">https://twitter.com/aionescu/...

6/7 And thanks to @aionescu I followed the rabbit& #39;s trail for "zoom ex-nsa".
It led me straight to @zackwhittaker.
If one wishes to gaslight Kari for #hyperbole, then one must use a flamethrower on Zack! https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1245350371876315137">https://twitter.com/zackwhitt...

7/7 I could go on but you get the point.
Yes: you& #39;ll find horrible cybersecurity reporters out there, from @DanielVerton to
