(La Porte County, IN) - Once again, a hacker was able to show pornography during a La Porte County government meeting on ZOOM.

 

Last week, X-rated images wound up on the ZOOM screens during the La Porte County Planning Commission meeting. It happened previously late last year during a La Porte County Council meeting.

 

During Wednesday's La Porte County Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Steve Holifield raised the idea of prohibiting ZOOM meetings for any La Porte County governing body as a result of the repeat side show happenings.

 

“It was bizarre, weird, perverse.  I think we can look seriously at whether we keep ZOOM, period, for anybody,” he said.

 

La Porte County Attorney Guy DiMartino felt better cyber security measures can be taken to prevent such happenings again and suggested talks be held with the county government Information Technology Department.

 

County government’s contract with ZOOM to provide such service runs until the end of the year.

 

The La Porte County Commissioners decided in early January to no longer offer their meetings on ZOOM, which allows people to watch and participate in the live sessions.
