However, some soon emerged issues security (Zoom user data transfer to Facebook, theft Windows codes, account report in Dark web etc.). Zoom is struggling to rectify the situation and has already brought results for some of these issues. However, it is probably too late. The BuzzFeed News it's mentioned that Google has banned its employees from using the popular one application teleconferencing.
Google informed its employees last week that it Zoom will stop working on them computers and smartphones, provided by the company.
Google introduced this move to The Verge as something completely normal. Google spokesman Jose Castaneda, stated:
"We have had a policy for a long time does not allow employees to use unapproved applications for work, located outside our corporate network. Recently, our security team informed the employees who use it Zoom Desktop Client that will no longer run into corporate computers, as it does not meet the standards security that we have set for applications. Employees who use Zoom to keep in touch with family and friends can continue to do so via a web browser or via mobile phone ”.
