Zoom to enhance security as part of proposed U.S. settlement with FTC

Zoom Video Communications Inc must implement a new information security program as part of its proposed settlement with U.S. regulators over user privacy issues, the Federal Trade Commission said on Monday. It said Zoom's misleading claims about giving users a secure channel of communication while offering a lower level of protection gave them a false sense of security. “Zoom's security practices didn't line up with its promises,” said Andrew Smith, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. “The FTC's proposed settlement includes no help for affected parties, no money, and no other meaningful accountability,” he said.
