“We were a victim of a teleconference or Zoom hijacking,” said Brent Tjarks, executive director of the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America.
A Zoom conference featuring Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller was cut short on Thursday after one of the attendees posted pornographic images that were visible to the others on the call.
A few minutes before the event was to start, one participant using the screen name “Dan” began displaying graphic, pornographic images, according to a Reuters reporter on the call.More than 220 participants were on the Zoom call at one point before it was terminated. The Fed said the event, which was to feature a speech by Waller as well as a question-and-answer session, was canceled due to “technical difficulties.”MBCA’s roughly 100 members include banks with between $10 billion and $100 billion in assets.“We were a victim of a teleconference or Zoom hijacking and we are trying to understand what we need to do going forward to prevent this from ever happening again.
The increasing reliance on Zoom for teleconferencing has given rise to the practice of “Zoombombing” in which trolls disrupt meetings by showing explicit content.Zoom became the go-to method of teleconferencing during the coronavirus pandemic, when office closures forced white-collar employees to work remotely.
