I attended a PhD defense yesterday that got zoom bombed. They quickly moved it to an actively managed call and the presenter did a fine job of keeping their composure and getting back on track. Now we're circulating guides about how to set up secure rooms and webinars, so I don't anticipate this will happen again.
Normally I'd wave this off as a childish prank, but both the URL and loading screen prominently indicated the name of a major medical school, and the contents of the presentation were proteins and chemical structures. Bombing this meeting in particular seems to be in especially bad taste during a pandemic.
