The COVID-19 pandemic may go down as one of history's most disruptive times, but it forced many of us to adopt new ways to work and communicate. In particular, video meetings are now synonymous with Zoom. So, the company is looking to capitalise on that by introducing a new platform called OnZoom.

It seems that OPPO is working on a new hybrid zoom technology which could improve the sharpness of pictures taken by the periscope zoom lens, regardless of focal length. With that said, we can expect OPPO smartphones equipped with a periscope camera system to be able to capture a much sharper image regardless of the distance.

The increase in numbers of people working from home has seen video calls becoming a new norm. We're now able to easily communicate with our colleagues using platforms like these, but does it warrant new video call hardware that isn't at the level of corporate video conferencing? Zoom seems to think so.

If you still remember the "Remove China Apps" news, looks like it's not over yet. According to sources, it seems that the India intelligence officials have taken this matter into their own hands and actually prepared a list of apps that are deemed "dangerous" in terms of security risk.

Keanu Reeves is an A-list celebrity that always keeps his profile low. The man doesn't have any social media accounts and would like to keep his life as private as possible when he's not on the silver screen. Now, it is reported that he will be on a Zoom call with a person who bids the highest in a charity drive. Therefore, not only you're doing it for a good cause, but you'll get to meet your favourite celebrity too.

Earlier on, Zoom mentioned that the company will be launching the end-to-end encryption to be a premium feature for paying customers only. Yesterday, a blog post from CEO of Zoom Eric Yuan posted Zoom will now offer the end-to-end encryption to all users including non-premium users.

Based on a statement by theverge, it seems Zoom recently admitted that they did not have more than 300 million daily active users on their video conferencing platform. With that said, they’ve recently updated their blog post stating that they have up to 300 million daily zoom meeting participants, which is different compared to daily active users.

Zoom has been working on improving its platform in recent weeks. It has to, after all the bad press it's gotten for accounts being stolen, Zoombombing, and more. In the latest piece of news, the company has announced the release of its version 5.0 update, which comes with important security improvements.

Based on a statement by techradar.com, it seems that cybercriminals are still keen on stealing information from your Zoom account information due to the sudden increase in online scams lately. The scammers send emails to unsuspecting users by requiring them to “verify” their account by keying them into a landing page that was provided in the email thread.

Based on an article by bleepingcomputer.com, it seems that more than 500000 zoom accounts containing several private information including email address and password was sold on the dark web not too long ago. The source mentioned that the accounts sold were priced at USD0.002(~RM0.0087) each, for a grand total of around USD1000(~RM4350) for the whole bulk.
