The US Federal Trade Commission gave final approval to a settlement with Zoom Video Communications over allegations it misled consumers about the level of security provided during videoconferencing sessions and compromised the security of some macOS users. The FTC alleges Zoom maintained the cryptographic keys that could allow it to access the content of its customers meetings. The settlement requires Zoom to establish and implement a comprehensive security program, to implement a prohibition on privacy and security misrepresentations, and to other detailed and specific relief to protect its user base. Zoom must also obtain biennial assessments of its security program by an independent third party and notify the commission of any data breach.”]
