Dear Campus Mac Users:

A vulnerability in the Zoom client for Mac OS X has made the news this week. My microsoft office for mac will not open. This specific vulnerability could allow a Zoom user to be tricked into joining a Zoom meeting with the video camera on.

The Information Security Office wishes to clarify that this vulnerability does not allow a remote attacker to turn on your computer's web camera without the user's interaction. It requires the user to open or click on a URL for a Zoom meeting. The concern regarding this vulnerability is that there are many ways to trick a user into opening a Zoom meeting URL.

The Information Security Office recommends that any Mac OS X user running the Zoom client update their Zoom client software. The steps to update the Zoom client are to launch the Zoom application, select the zoom.us drop-down menu, and run 'Check for updates.' The Zoom client will download the latest version of the Zoom application and install it if you do not have the latest version installed.

Another preventative step for Mac OS X Zoom users is to go to the Zoom client Preferences, select Video settings, and check/select the 'Turn off my video when joining a meeting' option.

With the new OS X El Capitan release, Apple has included a very helpful according to some users, but at the same time extremely annoying for others, mouse pointer zoom feature.

If you have found yourself in the past looking at your Mac's desktop in search for your mouse's pointer, and you haven't been able to pinpoint for seconds on end, Apple has implemented a new accessibility feature in OS X 10.11 El Capitan designed to help you locate it with a simple mouse pointer shaking gesture.

However, if you are a gamer or you just don't like having your mouse shaking on screen, the new 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' El Capitan feature is granted to drive you crazy right after updating your Mac to OS X 10.11.

If a mouse pointer shake is the one thing that would make you downgrade to Yosemite and give up on all the performance boost and multi-tasking goodness of El Capitan, you don't have to do it because Apple has made sure that disabling the 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' feature is very easy.

As you can see in the recording embedded below, to stop your mouse pointer zooming on your Mac's screen, you have to open the System Preferences application.

Next, you have to click on the Accessibility preference pane, go to the Display sub-menu and then uncheck the 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' option under the 'Cursor size' slider.

Once you unchecked it, the mouse pointer will stop zooming in each time you move your mouse from side to side, and you will once again be able to enjoy all the new features of El Capitan on your Mac.

Leave us a word in the comments section below if you have any other tips or tricks about the new features added by Apple to the OS X El Capitan release or if you have any questions regarding the El Capitan mouse cursor zoom feature.
