Zoom Meeting Infiltrated

[tiggerblue10]

My son's Class Dojo zoom call has been infiltrated by a hacker twice, the 2nd time being this morning. The hacker was called hacker 1 last week and hacker 2 this morning. They posted inappropriate language and the zoom call had to be ended.

Is there any way to identify an infiltrators location? The teacher suggested that it could be a sibling who has accessed one of the children's accounts.

I think it is likely too.

[bobbinwales]

Yep.

Teacher needs to contact parents and have them check the siblings devices and talk to them

It's so frustrating as it was the only way children could engage altogether as a class and now it's ruined!

Oh well, just one more week to go before they are back at school.

good reason to find out who did it and deal with them

We received a letter from the teacher through class dojo saying that they couldn't track down the hacker.

A sibling with better IT skills than the teachers or parents probably.

Make sure the host is using the latest version of Zoom, and if practical, have the sessions passworded

Sad that there is often one who will spoil things for the many.

They are using the latest version. If they can access the zoom link through class dojo then they'll probably have access to any passwords issued. As a parent you can invite others to have access. I gave son's dad, my mum and my SIL, who is a teacher, access to it last March/April. My SIL was helping him with his work back then.

well that should give you a ton of confidence in the school's IT resource.
