A virtual meeting of South African lawmakers has been disrupted by hackers who flooded the video call with pornographic images. South Africa’s parliament is closed and all its meetings are currently held by videoconference calls as the country remains under strict lockdown restrictions to combat the spread of the coronavirus. A shocked Ms. Modise said that she had earlier warned about using the virtual meetings platform Zoom for the meeting. At least one other South African parliament video call has been similarly hacked. Zoom has been facing criticism internationally as a result of reports of hackers who disrupt meetings by posting offensive content.
