Wow. The desktop application allowed random nodes to trigger popup alerts that could just say anything they wanted. It sounds like that was a super old version? It's a bit unclear which version of Electrum was the last to have that issue.
It's pretty crazy the number of people who bought Bitcoin/crypto at such an early stage (e.g spending >$1000 on something nearly worthless and very obscure) yet are very bad at the security of this. You would think the first step to recovering >$10M plus would involve a Google search or two.
