Last Sunday, I watched a episode of KMJS or Kapuso mo Jessica Soho about the meeting of a student in their class and there is three anonymous guys that enters the room after the teacher accepted the three people knowing that they are transferred from that school, after that there is an unexpected things happened, the teacher removed or disconnected to the online meeting and the three guys started to do malicious things that ruins the class and give traumatic experience to the students.
The possible things why they are entered the meeting is maybe they know the link or get the link to the people that participating in the online video meeting and the other one is they have an information of the teacher using malicious software attack because there is a possibility that they remove and block the teacher to the meeting to gain access or the teacher disconnects due to slow connection. This kind of situation is called "Zoom Bombing" because this kind of situation that interrupts the video conferencing already happened in zoom meeting app.
The reasons why this three guys appear in Class is because the teacher have not enough experience in this situation, but to avoid this the best things to do specially teachers are:
To list all students and their email that they use for online class and do not accept if there is unfamiliar name that enters the room without noticing the teacher.
Do not share the link of the online meeting in other people or groups that are not included in online class, much better if they added a passcode before entering the online meeting.
Change the online meeting link everytime and in every class or sections, because using same link in all meetings will result of an access to different people and there is a possibility that the other people will see it in some cases. And always have a social media privacy.
Protect your gadgets by using antivirus software like avast, AVG and many trusted antiviruses app BUT beware because I already experienced that I downloaded a fake antivirus that detects too many virus even if I have no malicious files in my computer and I decided to download another antivirus to verify those virus and I discovered that untrusted antivirus will lead us to become more harmful. Download only the trusted antivirus to the trusted websites to detect and remove the malware (malicious software) or any harmful viruses that uses to track your location and access your information in your gadgets.
Avoid downloading Pirated Apps, this is the main reason to risk your gadgets, because this kind of apps or software have a malicious software that will make your computer or phone become prone to danger.
Avoid clicking websites that you don't know, because it can be a phishing sites.
Use Virtual Private Network if you want to hide some of your information when entering sites.
Updating the software can help you to update the security features of a computer or cellphone.
Separate your verification sim to your contact information sim and do not share the number of your verification sim that you always use in social medias.
This guidelines will help us specially the students who are using Internet for the online class, they need to know this to be aware next time and to avoid unnecessary things that can distract their studies.
Here is the short term to avoid interruption in online class.
1.) Don't share link
2.) Change the link every meeting
3.) One link per class
4.) Security
5.) Avoid malwares
And that's it, follow this rules to have a safety in our second world called digital online world. Always remember that sharing helpful information is caring the people that needs to know the information.
