The African Christian Democratic Party has expressed its disgust after pornographic images popped up on screens during a Parliamentary Committee meeting on Thursday morning.
Parliamentarians from the Programming Committee were busy with an online meeting using the social media platform Zoom, when the images appeared, forcing the meeting to a halt.
It’s understood that hackers were behind the security breach on Zoom, which has come under fire for lax security measures.
ACDP Chief Whip, Steve Swart, said these images were disgusting and an affront, in particular to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Thandi Modise.
He said they were given the assurance that Zoom meetings were secure.
Swart said the Programming Committee was able to proceed with its meeting on an alternate platform.
Several global companies including NASA and Google have banned their employees from using zoom due to the security risks on the platform.
