• FYI: New Zoom meeting released and cert change

    From Bit Twister@2:250/1 to All on Sun Jun 27 18:38:09 2021
    New Zoom meeting released
    Jun 21 05:01 zoom-5.7.25958.0621-1.x86_64.rpm

    For anyone using a script to pull down the package and key files you
    may want to check it.

    My script pulls files from
    https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm
    https://zoom.us/linux/download/pubkey
    and was failing. Reason was security certificate check was failing.
    Reason: site is now using a self-signed cert.

    Added --no-check-certificate to wget argument to ignore cert check.

    I would never accept anything from a site that _previously_ used to have
    a valid cert and is now using a selfsigned cert.

    That is a clear sign that
    1: Someone is intercepting your traffic in an attempt at getting you to
    install a malicious version, or
    2: The system is being reinstalled
    and they haven't configured the certificate yet.
