“Zoombombing,” as the phenomenon has been dubbed, has disrupted online events across the world in recent weeks. The center also doesn’t plan to stop advertising its events on social media. Too many restrictions could make already-stressed students even less likely to attend, Carswell said. They could require a password - but they want to keep the meetings as accessible as possible. Now, staffers said, meeting hosts have to approve the email address of each participant attempting to join. It was hard for Small to focus during her next online class, though. Better not to engage them, they thought - not to give them the reaction they wanted. Small said her strategy was to ignore the men, and that most students took the same route. “I was not going to let them defeat us and cause us not go on with our program.” Though it was tempting to cut things short, Carswell ended up finishing most of the event, wrapping up only a few minutes early. Once Nyumburu staffers began recording the meeting, they put masks on to cover their faces.
That’s when they began holding up signs, writing phrases like “black lives don’t matter.” They began to undress on screen. And as the meeting host struggled to remove the three men, participants had little choice but to watch.Įventually, staffers were able to mute the hackers. Between 20 and 30 students were on the call at the time, Carswell said.
