The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) have produced some helpful guidance on the use of Video Conferencing for meetings, with some key points to consider being:
- Have you checked the privacy and security settings?
- Are you aware of phishing risks?
- Have you checked your organisation’s policy?
- Have you ensured all software is up-to-date?
Some of these sound obvious, but are easy to over look in these strange times we are in.
Did you know that you could be a victim of a phishing attack whilst on a Video Conference?
The ‘live chat feature’ can be used by malicious people to spread phishing messages. Be vigilant. Don’t click on links or attachments you were not expecting or from meeting attendees you do not recognise.
Be GDPR wise, take 5 and re-read the information before clicking.
