| #3 discovered and fixed a previously unknown program vulnerability Sounds like either a design flaw or a built-in backdoor. "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling The media has tried to position Zoom Video as an American company because it is located in San Jose, but the founder, Eric Yuan, was born and educated in Communist China and came to the US in 1997. According to le Wik: "A large part of Zoom's workforce is based in China, which has given rise to surveillance and censorship concerns", and "Zoom's product development team is largely based in China, where an average entry-level tech salary is one-third of American salaries, which is a key driver of its profitability" Maybe I'm paranoid, but anything associated with mainland China nowadays is suspicious from the get-go. |
