Cloud video conferencing provider Zoom has agreed to settle a consolidated class action federal lawsuit for $85 million as well as reform its security and data privacy practices, according to court documents filed in California.
The settlement, reached Saturday, awaits final approval later this year from U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh, who presides in San Jose, California, where Zoom is based.
The lawsuit stems from users complaints about the company s data privacy and security practices, including instances in which customers had their video conferences interrupted by Zoom bombing, in which attackers gained access to meeting passwords or bypassed security features and disrupted the proceedings with profanity and offensive images.
