Also, it is touted to have a 14 percent chance of finding an open meeting each time it tries to attempt with a random meeting ID. The program uses software-level automation to arrange information about 2,400 Zoom meetings that can include links to join each of those meetings, the date and time of the meeting, and the name of the organiser among other details. The tool is said to have the ability to evade the restrictions that the video conferencing app has in place to block automated meeting scans and helps find meetings that aren't protected by a password. Security professional Trent Lo and his fellow members of Kansas City-based security meetup group SecKC have built the zWarDial tool that scans for meeting IDs by routing the searches through various proxies on Tor, as reported by cybersecurity expert Brian Kerbs. In a separate news, Zoom has disabled a feature on its platform that would help meeting hosts see the LinkedIn profiles of individuals, without requiring any explicit permissions. The tool called zWarDial is also said to have a success rate of around 14 percent for each instance.
However, security researchers are able to highlight its loopholes through an automated tool that can bypass the measures and find 100 Zoom meeting IDs in an hour. Zoom has claimed to have shifted its focus towards user privacy and security, and the company recently even started restricting uninvited attendees from virtual meetings.
