SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The FBI and Spokane police are now investigating an incident in which the Gonzaga University Black Student Union was hacked during a Zoom meeting and bombarded with racial and homophobic slurs.
Authorities say on Sunday, several people joined the call using offensive screen names and began yelling slurs and sharing pornography on their screens.
Gonzaga University leaders issued a letter this week saying their technical staff was able to capture data of the Zoom-bombing, identifying IP addresses from the people who hijacked the call.
They also noted that other universities around the U.S. have had similar Zoom-bombings.
