Zoom took months to fix a flaw found during a hackathon sponsored by Dropbox NYT Business Insider

Last year, Zoom took three months to fix a security flaw that allowed hackers to potentially gain control over certain user's computers running Apple's macOS, according to a report from The New York Times on Monday. 

The issue, which Zoom addressed and fixed last July, was brought to the company's attention from multiple security researchers who participated in a hackathon hosted by Dropbox, the report said. Dropbox, which is a Zoom customer and partner, then presented the findings to Zoom, which only fixed the issues after another researcher found the same flaw.
