    Oof. Glad I almost never used Zoom (family did), and never downloaded it. Government prohibited using it at work (contractor), so I had very little exposure to it (but a lot more to Teams and WebEx).

      I've actually heard some people in our company are getting WebEx-bombed by strangers! So it seems like none of them have their shit together.
