Secure Conferencing Practices:
The following steps can be taken to mitigate teleconference hijacking threats:
- Do not make meetings or classrooms public. Some options include requiring a meeting password or use the waiting room feature and control the admittance of guests.
- Do not share a link to a teleconference or classroom on an unrestricted publicly available social media post. Provide the link directly to specific people.
- Manage screensharing options to include only those who need to share.
- Ensure you are using the updated version of remote access/meeting applications.
- Lastly, it is important to check meeting links for phishing sites that impersonate an official site.
- Zoom meeting links should all start with https://zoom.us.
- Microsoft Teams meeting links should all start with https://teams.microsoft.com.
- Google Meet meeting links should all start with https://meet.google.com.
