New Zoom meeting released
Jun 21 05:01 zoom-5.7.25958.0621-1.x86_64.rpm

For anyone using a script to pull down the package and key files you
may want to check it.

My script pulls files from
https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm
https://zoom.us/linux/download/pubkey
and was failing. Reason was security certificate check was failing.
Reason: site is now using a self-signed cert.

Added --no-check-certificate to wget argument to ignore cert check.

I would never accept anything from a site that _previously_ used to have
a valid cert and is now using a selfsigned cert.

That is a clear sign that
1: Someone is intercepting your traffic in an attempt at getting you to
install a malicious version, or
2: The system is being reinstalled
and they haven't configured the certificate yet.
