A day after it announced the purchase of a licence to use Zoom, B.C.’s Ministry of Education addressed security concerns about the popular video conferencing service.
The ministry has offered Zoom to teachers at K-12 public and independent schools so they can try out different remote-learning methods, which will vary from school to school.
The conferencing service, which has experienced a surge in popularity as people around the globe are told to stay home under the COVID-19 pandemic, has reportedly become the target of hackers.
In Ontario, a recent online seminar organized by the Canada Antisemitism Education Foundation appeared to have have been hacked.
