STATEMENT To: Members of OA Foot Steps Fellowship
STATEMENT From: OA Foot Steps Virtual Intergroup Security Committee
SUBJECT: Zoom Security Issues
DATE: July 24th 2024
Dear OA Foot Steps Member,
OAFS Security Committee is sending this message to recommend that members NOT add your phone number or email address to your Zoom profile name.
The purpose of this communication is to raise awareness of how the OAFS Security Committee views this and we are addressing this concern in service to the fellowship.
Zoom intrusion is a global problem that doesn’t have a clear solution. Due to the inclusive nature of our open community and our ongoing practice of Tradition Three, outsiders with nefarious intentions are able to join OA meetings and steal your contact information. They may use this information to cause you harm.
You may feel like this recommendation is over zealous. We understand you may want your fellows and newcomers to have access to your contact information.
We just want you to be aware of the danger. We are presenting this recommendation in an effort to maintain your safety.
However, it’s your choice.
For questions regarding this statement, please contact the OAFS Security Committee [email protected]
Yours in Service,
OAFS Security Committee
