<\/div>\n

Users of Zoom<\/a> on Macs should update the app, after the company issued a patch to fix a security flaw that could allow an attacker to take over their computers.<\/p>\n

The fix will eventually roll out automatically, but users can and should install it immediately upon opening the application by clicking on Zoom.us<\/a> in the menu bar at the top left of the screen and then selecting \u201ccheck for updates\u201d.<\/p>\n
