Yes... I am... aren't you? Most companies I know exercise at least basic precautions against malware on their laptops, in large part to avoid exposing confidential information.

In this case, I'm not worried about someone hacking the Double and somehow sneaking it into a meeting. I'm worried about someone compromising Double's servers and listening in on the conversation. Is the AV feed secured end-to-end?



Thanks for clarifying -- to me, your original comment indicated that you were specifically concerned about the device itself. It's perfectly valid to be concerned about the security of service providers.


No, I'm not more worried about a Double than I am about a laptop, which is the reason the laptop was brought up in the first place.


To be fair, you're the one who brought up the laptop. JshWright's point was that he's concerned about the safety of an application whose sole purpose appears to be transmitting the contents of private meetings over the internet.

It sounds like a very easy target for getting access to the private details of many companies.
