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.

Zoom Using Tor and Bittorrent?

There is an earlier post from 2023 on this: Tor and Bittorent used by Zoom? - Zoom Community - but unfortunately doesn't definitely answer the question.  I've been unable to find the answer on Zoom's support pages.

 

We are receiving alerts that Zoom.exe is using Tor/Bittorrent Ports (9001, 9030, 9040, 9050, 9051, 9150).  When checking the .exe FileHash it corresponds with the current file has for zoom.exe, uploading the .exe to sites like VirusTotal show it's safe.

 

I check with the end user's when this happens and have not been able to pinpoint what triggers it.

 

If anyone has any information, that would be great.  We'll be blocking the ports and we'll see what that does but I wanted to see if anyone had any additional information for the use of these ports.
