An independent security firm found 530,000 accounts for sale on a dark web marketplace. NBC News verified the information. Many of the email addresses being sold were compromised in previous data breaches.

“Zoom takes user security seriously,” a Zoom spokesperson told NBC News. “We continue to investigate, are locking accounts we have found to be compromised, asking users to change their passwords to something more secure, and are looking at implementing additional technology solutions to bolster our efforts.”
