The Federal Reserve's Christopher Waller  speech was scrapped after a participant hijacked the feed and displayed pornographic content that was visible to viewers, per Bloomberg.

“We were a victim of a teleconference or Zoom hijacking and we are trying to understand what we need to do going forward to prevent this from ever happening again. It is an incident we deeply regret,” said Brent Tjarks, executive director of the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America (MBCA), which hosted the event via a Zoom link. “We have had various programs and this is something that we have never had happen to us.”

A few minutes before the event was to start, one participant using the screen name “Dan” began displaying graphic, pornographic images, according to a Reuters reporter on the call.

More than 220 participants were on the Zoom call at one point before it was terminated.
