Thing is - this story is all over the mainstream news. It's got multiple stories on the yahoo front page, it's reported via multiple sources in my fbook feed, but also with our regular tv news station.
People are seeing this about zoom that have never seen zoom.
People that I suggested use zoom are going to notice the word even if they would normally scroll past some gomeeting story.
any anyone who is within earshot of such 'non-tech news' is hearing how unsecure zoom is.
Sure most of my clients are unlikely to read HN at all, and most are unlikely to read tech crunch regularly if at all - but I bet some have TC or something similar in their fbook feed.
However people who don't even own computers are seeing this debacle.
So, anyone I've advised to use zoom for privacy and security, citing the encryption and use by US gov - is going to have to wonder - how do these things happen on a secure, private, encrypted system - must not be what it was purported to be by that guy Steve. Then they are going to wonder what kind of damage could be done with the info that was 'securely' shared with the service.
