While this link refers to Zoom meeting security, I think it also applies here. I share the sentiment from the quote below. News articles that sensationalize a security flaw can convey the impression that the product should be thrown away, never to be used again. These articles lack context and make for effective click-bait, but provide no information that you can act on:
From the article:
“What we have here is a company that is relatively easy to use for the masses (comes with its challenges on personal meeting IDs) and is relatively secure,” Kennedy wrote. “Yet the industry is making it out to be ‘this is malware’ and you can’t use this. This is extreme. We need to look at the risk specific applications pose and help voice a message of how people can leverage technology and be safe. Dropping zero-days to the media hurts our credibility, sensationalizes fear, and hurts others.”
