HSC ITS shares tips to keep teleconferences, online classes safe

The FBI has shared a warning about teleconferencing and online classroom highjacking threats.

When sending Zoom Meeting invitations to students, please continue to send Zoom MeetingID to students/faculty via email or post the MeetingID within SOLE (Login required) to help prevent unauthorized individuals from entering your online classroom or teleconference. Never post Zoom meeting information to a public website or social media site and/or utilize meeting passwords, waiting room features to control admittance of guests.

When sharing Zoom links for upcoming departmental meetings/conferences, please send privately to guests via email or calendar invite only.

Please contact the HSC Help Desk at hsc_helpdesk@hsc.wvu.edu if you have any questions.
