On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

A computer attempting to access zoom.us on my computer?!?

Hello,

 

During a meeting I had an unstable internet connection for a while. The video froze a few times. Then a message popped up on the screen - see photo - Saying: "The computer " ***.***.**.*** " is attempting to access zoom.us on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection?"

The computer number looked like an IP address number. I've checked and it's not mine - though I don't have a static one, so theoretically it could have changed during the Zoom Meeting?? I don't know. 

 

I clicked 'Block'. My internet connection immediately stabilised and I got no more problems with freezing video for the rest of the Zoom Meeting. 

 

Trying not to be too enormously alarmed - but - have I been hacked somehow? Or is this an innocent glitch or one of my other devices attempting to connect somehow? I don't know if computers / devices have ID numbers in that format - do they? If they do, how do you find that number? All I can find is IP address, serial number, model number etc - none of which are the number in the message. 

 

Any ideas?

Many thanks
