The people have been always there, it is just that now they have the tools. I personally have no problem, bitcoin should be for adults who can manage their own risks. You can always opt out and not use it. This whole thing has been repeated since the early Bitcoin times ad infinitum and shouldn't be a surprise.

This issue has been fixed in Electrum a long time ago already. However the problem is that no one can prevent people from running older versions.

This kind of problems are to be expected in crypto in the future as well, so always stay cautious.
