Hi Cathy,
I've only just caught up with this thread (I've been going through a very unpleasant experience myself recently, though not with Zoom... but 'nuff said about that.)
The answer is not "NEVER USING ZOOM, ever.'' (Sorry, Jesse.) Zoom is used successfully every day by millions ...and, more importantly, it's a lifeline to many people who live alone, are housebound, disabled... etc.
I'm really sad to hear that hackers ruined what would have been a lovely event; these individuals obviously have such meaningless, empty lives that they see the need to spoil the enjoyment of others. I pity them, while simultaneously loathing them!
We need to beat these people, by securing means to safeguard Zoom meetings, as Nemo, Walter, Mark and Julie have said. I'm sure there are ways. Don't give up on the idea of giving another reading, Cathy!
Hackers will continue to do their vile deeds no matter what... but Zoom has enabled us all to keep in touch with family and friends at a critical time in our lives, which is a good thing.
