US church sues after bible study 'Zoombombed' by child abuse

A California church is suing video chat company Zoom after a hacker allegedly hijacked a virtual Bible study class to post graphic images of child abuse.

A hacker took over users' computers and played sick and disturbing videos.

According to reports, the San Francisco church's leaders contacted Zoom for help, but the company did nothing.

In a statement, a Zoom spokesperson condemned the horrific event.

It says their hearts go out to those impacted and they have identified the offender, took action to block their access to the platform and reported them to the relevant authorities.

The company pointed to its recently updated security features, adding that Zoom users should not widely share meeting access and passwords as appeared to be the case with the church group.
