culture, which is focused on competing in a pretty cutthroat industry 
with demanding clients (IT managers) and not particularly technically 
literate customers (the individual business users). There’s probably a 
great fear of losing business to other businesses who can boast about 
running video meetings with ever less friction to the user.

<p>And then Apple comes along and introduces a security feature to 
Safari that requires a confirmation click when any link in a web browser
 attempts to open an external app. Zoom, which likes to pass around web 
links as a way of driving users into conference calls, didn’t look at 
this security measure as something to help keep their customers 
secure—it viewed it as an addition of friction by the platform owner.</p>

<p>Zoom’s response was to build a secret local web server, which allowed
 Zoom to rewrite its hyperlinks to connect to a web server instead of an
 app—so the web server could bypass Safari’s security and launch the app
 without a second click.</p><p>
I use Zoom because it’s a superior product to Skype for the large-panel podcasting that I do,
 but this issue gives me pause—and not because of the specific details 
of this event. No, it’s for what this says about Zoom’s priorities as a 
company. When the platform owner decides that web links shouldn’t open 
other apps without an approval click—a pretty sensible security 
measure—the corporate response shouldn’t be to bypass that click by  
invisibly installing a hidden server that’s a potential security hole"

</p>Also, the blog post Zoom posted in response to the security disclosure (<a href="https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2019/07/08/response-to-video-on-concern/" target="_blank">https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2019/07/08/response-to-video-on-concern/</a>) was updated several times, in response to the outcry. The July 9 patch to the Zoom app on Mac devices is live at
 <a href="https://zoom.us/download?zcid=1231" rel="noopener" target="_blank">zoom.us/download</a> which now removes the local web server entirely, once the Zoom client has been updated and there will be a further update to the Zoom client over the weekend regarding user's preference for video on by default.</div><div><br></div><div>Dev Anand<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 2:32 PM Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond <<a href="mailto:ocl@gih.com" target="_blank">ocl@gih.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
