Trolls are breaking into AA meetings being held on Zoom video calls and harassing recovering alcoholics
At first, the Tuesday morning Alcoholics Anonymous meeting was going as planned.
The digital break-in was one of the latest instances of"Zoom bombing," a tactic in which trolls scour the internet for links to video conferences and then harass participants. The FBI issued a warning about Zoom bombing Monday after multiple schools' web conferences were disrupted by trolls. When reached for comment, a Zoom spokesperson told Business Insider the company is"deeply upset to hear about the incidents involving this kind of attack" and encouraged users to report such incidents to Zoom directly.
Virtual support group meetings have become crucial for people with substance abuse problems as the coronavirus quarantines prevent the regular real-world meetings from taking place in churches, community centers and other locations. A Business Insider employee who is a member of AA published an account this month explaining the importance of the virtual meetings during the quarantine:
What if we need to drive someone to the hospital? I drove many times in a blackout. What if, drunk, I needed more booze and went on a calamitous excursion to get it?
