Demand for ZOOM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: $ZM) and its video conferencing platform has surged and its stock price has moved up substantially since the beginning of the year (131%).
As efforts to halt the spread of COVID-19 have forced millions to stay at home, many have turned to Zoom to set up online meetings.
Zoom usage rose from 10 million daily meeting participants, one year ago, to over 300 million today. A true feast for hackers.
