<story><title>Porn Zoom bomb forces cancellation of Fed&apos;s Waller event</title><url>https://www.reuters.com/world/us/feds-waller-virtual-event-canceled-after-zoom-hijack-2023-03-02/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>ericpauley</author><text>Let&amp;#x27;s be real about the scope here, clearly this is not indicative of the downfall of modern banking infrastructure (or the government itself, as it seems some commentors would have you believe).&lt;p&gt;This was a small event featuring one board member. As the article points out the zoom session itself was run by the hosting institution, some consortium of small banks (I hear those are &lt;i&gt;really known&lt;/i&gt; for their technical chops &amp;#x2F;s). Run enough of these and something bad is bound to happen.&lt;p&gt;Sure, maybe the Fed should improve its policies on meeting hosting rules and make sure people are informed on best practice, but the fact that a Fed-affiliate intern messed up their Zoom settings is hardly damning.</text></comment>
