As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to force people to work from home,
countless companies are now holding daily meetings using videoconferencing
services from *Zoom*. But without the protection of a password, there’s a
decent chance your next Zoom meeting could be “Zoom bombed” — attended or
disrupted by someone who doesn’t belong. And according to data gathered by
a new automated Zoom meeting discovery tool dubbed “*zWarDial*,” a crazy
number of meetings at major corporations are not being protected by a
password.

Zoom conference codes and request that pranksters connect and hurl insults,
play pornographic material, or make death threats against other
participants -- in a practice called Zoom-bombing or a Zoom raid.
