I’m on Zoom a gajillion times over 5 years and I’ve not once experienced a zoombomb. I have experienced Google Hangouts bombs.

The incidence is of course going way up, but it really is overblown on the quantity. The biggest issue are those that post links on twitter or some place public (same issue for Hangouts).

And let's also be clear that the incidence rate is going up because 1) the popularity of Zoom and 2) because there's a lot of people home going stir crazy.

Saying Zoom has a bombing issue feels like saying Linux doesn't get viruses.
