A religious community in Nairobi has been left in shock after a virtual prayer meeting was attacked by “zoom-bombers” displaying images of porn. Last year, a California church sued video chat company Zoom after a hacker allegedly hijacked a virtual Bible study class to post graphic images of child abuse. The hacker allegedly took over users’ computers and played “sick and disturbing videos”, according to the lawsuit filed by Saint Paulus Lutheran Church. The firm pointed to its “recently updated security features”, adding that Zoom users should not widely share meeting access and passwords “as appeared to be the case” with the church group. Zoom has faced sharp criticism after it emerged some meeting data could have been routed through servers in China, so the ability for users to control which data centres their data is routed through has now also been added.
