Zoom calls are being interrupted to broadcast child abuse images, users say
Zoom calls are being interrupted by attackers who broadcast child abuse imagery, users say. The reports are just the latest example of the phenomenon of "Zoombombing", where strangers break into calls and show often distressing images and videos. The National Crime Agency (NCA) has now confirmed that it is investigating the reports and following up with other instances of such attacks. The BBC reported that several users of video calling app Zoom had recently experienced incidents where their meeting had been interrupted by abuse footage. It said one of the meetings in question had been publicised on social media - something a number of online safety groups and Zoom itself urge users not to do.
