Porn Zoom bomb forces cancellation of Fed's Waller event
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/feds-waller-virtual-event-canceled-after-zoom-hijack-2023-03-02/March 2 (Reuters) - A virtual event with Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller was canceled on Thursday after the Zoom video conference was "hijacked" by a participant who displayed pornographic images.
"We were a victim of a teleconference or Zoom hijacking and we are trying to understand what we need to do going forward to prevent this from ever happening again. It is an incident we deeply regret," said Brent Tjarks, executive director of the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America (MBCA), which hosted the event via a Zoom link. "We have had various programs and this is something that we have never had happen to us."
A few minutes before the event was to start, one participant using the screen name "Dan" began displaying graphic, pornographic images, according to a Reuters reporter on the call.
More than 220 participants were on the Zoom call at one point before it was terminated.

Although keeping an entire populace in heat 24/7 could have some consequences three calendar quarters down the road.

Quiz for the day: When porn is sent over Zoom, is it called "ZORN"?
Implying that the Fed can’t even run a zoom meeting properly, let alone the entire frickin economy, and I get these replies.
Here’s a test to see if you have a dirty mind.
