Apple wants to remove Zoom code from Macs

blog

The makers of the video application didn't take well the news of vulnerability detection on their software.

Zoom creators didn't respond well when they discovered that there was a flaw in their system.

The original omission of the Mac version was explained as a solution to the user experience problem that would allow users to organize faster meetings.

On the other hand, there is a hidden criticism of the researcher who responsibly shared the details of the Zoom problem.

He decided to invite computer users to videoconference without alerting them and provided them with a webcam and audio system.

There were probably a lot of unpleasantly surprised Mac users who, after uninstalling the video conferencing application, discovered the code set by Zoom on the computer, allowing the software to be reinstalled.

The problem is, before this process, no user was asked if this could be done.

It took Zoom a while to realize that is not on the right track, but instead of apologizing, they merely stated that they misjudged the situation.

Zoom has announced that it has continued to upgrade to a Mac application that removes the code from a local web provider and offers uninstallation.

Experts advise if you want to continue using Zoom on your computer to make the necessary updates.

Later, there was a conflict between Apple and Zoom, as Apple issued a warning to its users for an update that would remove the disputed code.

Zoom said that it worked with Apple to test the update and that it didn't require user interaction.

Experts believe the update by Apple will protect users from interfering with the Zoom application or from the vulnerability of the web provider.

Over time, all Mac users will be asked if they want to launch the Zoom app.

The conclusion is that each user will be allowed to decide whether to have this application on their computer.
