No, we have seen a user that downloaded from the official Electrum website years ago but was still scammed by the pop-up Electrum wallet notification. I think a strategy used by online theft to steal from BTC and download from the Electrum official website is not enough either if the wallet is not verified.
I just found out about this news because it's impossible for wallet software from the official web to pop up (notifications) which are dangerous for its users, I'm also an Electrum user for a long time but I've never experienced that and my Electrum wallet has remained safe until now. Maybe you should check your pc/desktop and scan for viruses regularly because there are third party influences that take advantage of notifications on electrum to steal your assets.

My advice is that you should pay attention to the official website link and make sure you don't download applications from phishing webs, because you have to be very careful to check the letters of the official web address because I think the official application is still safe to use..
