Zoom meeting of black lawmakers in Delaware was hacked

DOVER, Del. — A Zoom meeting that included state lawmakers from Delaware as well as members of Congress had been hacked.

The Delaware State News reported that the hacker displayed a racial slur as well as pornography.

The virtual conference call was focused on helping black-owned businesses and organizations that receive federal money.

The meeting was hosted by the Delaware Legislative Black Caucus.

The hacker scribbled a racist term and drew a swastika on the screen. U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt took over and urged participants not to let it bother them.
