Video conferencing service Zoom has been under the radar over several security concerns after its significant surge in popularity over the last few months. India’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also deemed Zoom as an unsafe app and said that no government officials would use the service. Several international organisations have also banned their employees from using Zoom after reported cases of security breach and privacy-related concerns.
