Students receive money in exchange for Zoom passwords



[ad_1]

Classes on television and internet are, for now, the solution for Basic Education. Digital solutions are available, but some knowledge is required to work safely. After a YouTuber has infiltrated online classes, now comes the information that there are students receiving money in exchange for passwords.

The complaint is from the National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof).

Zoom is one of the most popular platforms for video conferencing. In the past month, the number of reported security issues has been very high, but there are also issues that go beyond the platform itself (and aren't really Zoom related). According to Mário Nogueira de Fenprof ...

The National Federation of Teachers is gathering information to file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office against those who recorded and broadcast online the YouTube classes that should have taken place on a private circuit. There are students who receive money in exchange for passwords!

The National Center for Cyber ​​Security (CNCS) has also commented on the subject and said that the broadcast of the sessions, delivered on the Zoom platform, was not the result of a system failure, but of "malicious human behavior".

An official source of the Judicial Police told the JN that, at first, "there will be no crime", since the intruders had the identification and password of the meetings.

The Federation requires that the Ministry of Education guarantee, "with great urgency, the safe use of online meeting platforms or, present alternatives to their use, so that teachers and students can carry out their work with a minimum of tranquility."

How did the "wrong" access to Zoom occur?

After creating the virtual classes, each session can have a respective identifier and password. The teacher generally acts as moderator and administrator of the session. If this information is transmitted to third parties, it is possible to enter a session without any problem or trick.

The National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) had received no complaints about improper access to classes and the consequent dissemination of images of teachers and students until this Friday. The PJ also did not receive any participation similar to the situation now reported.

On the CNCS website, it is possible to access a set of documents with good practices.
