I have experienced some strange incident today while testing Zoom Pro features. I have created these meetings and their times are in GMT+5

Through API, although I have disabled _join before host_ but it did not worked today (It used to work before but today it was very odd). I joined the meeting without initiating from the host and found that unknown peoples got joined my meeting. Initially an unknown lady was in the video meeting, I was not able to take its screenshot but then kids started joining and later a family from child caretaker joined in.

When I tried to take meeting as a host, this is what appears:

Not sure who is this and it seems like the meeting got compromised.

We are paying for the service and the security, privacy of the software should be taken strictly.
