[Lnc-business] Fwd: Zoom Meetings Security Enhancements - Coming April 5th

Fri Apr 3 23:03:23 EDT 2020

We should make all of our meetings have a password -- even if it's a simple
one. Right now there are bots constantly trying to connect to zoom meetings
with random numbers. Just having a password required to get into the room
solves 99% of the security problems. The invitations that get mailed
INCLUDE the passwords in them, as well as when you post them.  Every place
we post the zoom link you'll post the password as well -- but the hacks
coming in are coming in by brute force and random numbers.
