Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has said that, "Zoom is not a safe platform", issues advisory for those who want to use it. Zoom is an online video-conferencing application/software.

The guidelines, the government said, will prevent unauthorised entry in the conference room and even malicious activity by authorised participants on terminals of the other participants.

It would also avoid DOS attack by restricting users through passwords and access grant.

"Most of the settings can be done by login into users zoom account at website, or installed application at PC/Laptop/Phone and also during conduct of conference. However certain settings are possible through certain mode/channel only," the guidelines from the Union home ministry read.
