Just to increase the post count? It certainly doesn't pass along anything important.
Nothing to gain in increasing my post count. Users have the right and should know about issues/bugs even after they're fixed. That's basically the same Microsoft does on patch day. Further, it's interesting to see how a company deals with such reports.
As you stated, since I can't depend on the validity or accuracy or timeliness of this information, I'll simply ignore it.
End of story for me.

IMO, it does, as it shows the will & dedication for improvements they've done over the months. 8)

Your thread. Zoom is one of the safest platforms.
I also can't think of any company of any size that hasn't had some incident with security issues.
Considering the speed in which they have addressed all issues is a credit to their commitment toward
a secure platform and end to end encryption enforces that commitment.

FTC Requires Zoom to Enhance its Security Practices as Part of Settlement
https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2020/11/ftc-requires-zoom-enhance-its-security-practices-part-settlement
It might be published today but re-hashes old news that's long since been addressed and corrected.

For me anything to do with Government (any country) warning about security, is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. 
They need to get their own house in order first before giving advice on security.

Zoom rolls out security enhancements to stop zoombombing trolls

https://blog.zoom.us/new-ways-to-combat-zoom-meeting-disruptions/
Sorry but this is old news with a new date. The availability to oust intruders has been
part of ZOOM for a long time. so has the ability to report individuals to ZOOM for further actions on their part.

Doesn't change the fact that what I posted is what's been available for some months.
I use Zoom almost daily. Sometimes several times per day.

Maybe if you're running a beta, else I can't see why it wouldn't have been announced months ago. ???
