I see that amid the pandemic a lot of new scumers have appeared. In addition, I heard, that some some personal data stealing have become more frequent. There a lot of rumors and articles, is there any of them true? Have you faced some like that? Like in zoom or similar app? According to this https://cryptogeek.info/en/blog/cybercriminals-take-advantage-of-covid-pandemic , zoom could be a really dangerous place, what'r all thinking?

As long as Internet exist,there will be hackers and scammers.The recession hit many people,who lost their jobs and have debt to pay.Many people are desperate,so a part of them becomes scammers,looking for some quick and easy money,while another part becomes victims of scams for the same reason(quick and easy money).There's no such thing as "quick and easy money" in the real world.
The situation might get even worse.
By the way,I've never used Zoom,so I can't tell whether or not there is some security flaw or personal data leak inside this app.
