how is it not already sorted? i guess, electrum is the one of the oldest wallet out there.

Fixing things "properly" takes time... the worst thing the devs could do is rush a "fix" that hasn't been properly tested that then turns out to make things worse!

this is scary. does anybody know how to find honest servers?

There is no danger if you do not download and run the malicious software.

If you connect to a server and it comes up with the error... connect to a different server. At worst all they can do is log your IP and addresses... but ANY Electrum server can already do this. They can't steal your BTC just by connecting to a "bad" server.

electrum.hsmiths.com is one of the "oldest" Electrum servers that I know of... whether or not it is any more trustworthy than any other Electrum server, I have no way of knowing/confirming.

Just pick one from the server list that IS NOT in the list posted above...
