Zoombombing: some quick advice not fully worked up (I& #39;m ill, but want to get this out). It is a real risk: a bunch of savvy internet law types got horribly zoombombed last week. You probably underestimate just how horrible that can be, because you are not a horrible person. 1/5

1a. If you& #39;re in a meeting that gets zoombombed in a nasty way, SHUT THE MEETING DOWN IMMEDIATELY. Don& #39;t mess around trying to lock them out. The attacker does this for kicks the whole time & will run rings round you. Use a different medium to contact the legit participants. 2/5

1b. If they posted appalling stuff that& #39;s a criminal offence to share, be sure to report it to the police at the earliest opportunity (but not on the emergency line, obvs) and follow their advice. DON& #39;T SEND ILLEGAL CONTENT TO ANYONE, for any reason. It& #39;s an absolute offence. 3/5

2. If you can choose a different tool, avoid Zoom. Zoom is very easy to use without faff and logins and passwords, and it& #39;s ubiquitous at the moment so most people know how to use it - but that& #39;s also what makes it a target. 4/5

3. If you do use Zoom, spend a bit of time getting to grips with how to reduce the chances of this happening. See e.g. https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/03/20/keep-uninvited-guests-out-of-your-zoom-event/">https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress... That is all a lot more fiddly and annoying, but Zoom& #39;s selling point is making it easy to do it at all, not easy to do it securely. 5/5
