You're ignoring much of the story, such as the part where they ignored the issue for months and then released a patch that they were told is ineffective.

So yes, we all make mistakes, and we should fix them promptly and correctly. Zoom did neither, and then put out that nonsense PR blog.

There's no way I will trust that company again after how they handled this.

Not ignoring, but I've seen similar from many companies we all work for. Of course, your criticism against them is fair too. And, I can also show you many companies who haven't gotten their shit together in 90 to 120 days too.

Give them some time and I think they will fix this and fix the issues that caused them to not catch this the first time and fix it as quickly as we would all like.

If you go into the bathroom of a restaurant and see cockroaches, would you feel comforted by management telling you to give them time, because they will definitely get rid of them and to not be too worried that they haven't already gotten rid of them?

Bad analogy :)

But you guys do what you want, I am getting tired of the mob mentality and extremism that seems to permeate these and other discussions. Why not give them some time and not adopt such an extreme position.
