Zoom Bombing – What It Is and How to Prevent IT
The term “Zoom bombing” gained notoriety at the start of COVID as our world transitioned online. Unfortunately, people (oftentimes hackers) have learned how to find open meetings and disrupt them. There are protections and ways to prevent a Zoom bombing incident from happening to your meeting. Fortunately, there are several ways to protect your Zoom meetings.
We understand the need to share some of the advanced features with your participants to allow interaction. Zoom has added some suggestions to mitigate the chance that an unwelcome participant engages in disrupting behavior.
If you share your meeting link on social media or another public location, anyone with the link can join your meeting. You may, however, occasionally require a meeting link (for office hours, for instance) that is open to a broader community. Here are some tips you can use to help when public meeting space is necessary:
Zoom Meetings:
- Avoid using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to host public events. Your PMI is essentially one continuous meeting, and people can pop in and out all the time. Learn more about meeting IDs.
- Familiarize yourself with Zoom’s settings and features. Understand how to protect your virtual space when you need to. For example, the Waiting Room is a helpful feature for hosts to control who comes and goes.
- Set up a password. A password adds an additional layer of security, one that may be useful for meetings outside of regular class hours. You may wish to share the password in your syllabus or direct emails to your students or classmates.
- Disable attendees’ video. Hosts can turn anyone’s video off. This allows them to block unwanted, distracting, or inappropriate gestures on video.
- Mute participants. Hosts can mute/unmute individual participants or all of them at once to block unwanted, distracting, or inappropriate noise. You can also enable Mute Upon Entry in your settings to reduce confusion in large meetings.
If you need help creating your meeting or need some additional tips on how to secure your event, please reach out to [email protected].

Security Hints & Tips: Social Engineering Red Flags #2: Recipient
The prevalence of phishing scams is at an all-time high. With you being the key to preventing a cyber-attack within Stetson University, it is important to question the legitimacy of every email you receive. Below is a list of questions to ask yourself about the recipient of the email that may help you realize that you are being phished.
TO: Analyze to whom the email was sent.
Were you CC’d on an email, and you don’t personally know the other people it was sent to? Or was the email sent to an unusual mix of people? For example, a seemingly random group of people with unrelated email addresses, or a group of people at your organization whose last names all start with the same letter.
If you notice anything about the email that alarms you, do not click links, open attachments, or reply. You are the last line of defense to prevent cyber criminals from succeeding, which makes you or Stetson University susceptible to phishing attacks.
Stop, Look, and Think. Don’t be fooled.

What is the Job Fair: Formerly known as SEMJF, SELSC is the Southeastern Law School Consortium Job Fair, a legal interview program bringing together employers from all across the country – one of the oldest and largest events of its kind. Find out more on the SELSC website: https://selscon.org/
Who may participate: ANY rising 2L, 3L, or recent graduate. I repeat, recent graduates are eligible! SELSC registration is open to all applicants – please note a resume and a Candidate Statement are required for every application. The prompt for your Candidate Statement: Discuss your academic, professional and life experiences, focusing on your ability to persevere, overcome challenges, and contribute to the legal profession. The Deadline to register for the Southeastern Law School Consortium Job Fair (SELSC) is Thursday, May 9, 2024.
Why: Look at the list of employers who participated last year.
- If you are a 1L or 2L, this is an early start, and consolidated opportunity to connect with firms and employers looking at 2025 summer associate positions, or early 2025 hiring. In addition, the exposure to regional and national firms and employers in a single setting is unsurpassed.
- If you are a 3L looking for work, there are employers here looking for you – take advantage of this. Do not preselect out of registering because the Bar is in close proximity – apply and adjust your study schedule if you are selected for an interview (We can work jointly with Bar Prep to help you with this)
