Our Democratic Zoom meeting was hacked with "Death to Democrats", and Trump Emperor God stuff
Pretty much the same as DU 2016 hack.
We only had 36 in the room. It was an orientation type meeting. She starts sharing her screen and suddenly weird writing appears on her screen. Then it got worse. Then there was this really strange shouting with "Donald Trump is going to kill all Democrats", "Democrats are going to die" etc etc.
So, we stopped the meeting. Got back on it happened again. This time it was much worse. Porn showed up and there was all sorts of profanity about Democrats. Then my voice was hacked. I was trying to communicate that I was not the troll, and all of a sudden my voice turned into the troll voice. It was like something out of the exorcist.
I'm not much looking for advice as much I wanted to "share". I know DU was hacked. And this was so similar. There were no Russians involved. Just a bunch of local right wingers.
The invite for the event was sent to a group of trusted Democrats via email. (Email contained link) The email could have easily been forwarded.
We shut down the meeting again and the host did something different and the meeting proceeded.
Just thought I would share.

your Dem Meeting! GD them Back to the Anti-Christ Hell they came from.
Of course Thank you for telling us, LeftInTX!
A lot of schools are using Zoom for online learning. I'm sure there will be similar problems with dirtbags hacking!
I doubt they are going to start out by using the security measures suggested above.
I'm glad the meeting was finally able to proceed!
in Switzerland group uses Cisco Webex instead of Zoom.
If the problem persists with Zoom, perhaps you should consider a change. All the best!
