The threat involves a service that automatically discovers publicly accessible Zoom meeting invites, joins them, and covertly records and publishes the content using external screen-capture methods, bypassing Zoom's native controls.

The primary mitigation is to avoid sharing meeting links publicly, use waiting rooms, passwords, and disable "Join Before Host" for all sensitive meetings.
