It has been reported that a team of security researchers found they could tap into Webex and Zoom video meetings because many weren’t protected with a code. Researchers programmed a bot to cycle through lists of valid meeting IDs and get access to active conference calls. The vulnerability works because many companies and users don’t protect their meetings with a password, either for convenience or they had not checked their default settings, coupled with a limited pool of meeting IDs. By targeting the platforms’ APIs, they were able to automate the process.
