I guess a scammer can sell it as "we're buying something significant [another company?], this will affect our share price if the info goes out, so you need to sign this NDA and keep this quiet, you're only 1 out of 10 people who knows this...".

They could also sell it as payment for an e.g. consulting firm for the above secret deal...

Secret doesn't mean they can't use internal authenticated communication channels, at the very least to send a redacted confirmation.

Most people historically would consider a video call with the person to be sufficiently authenticated. Yeah, that has changed obviously, but it has changed like today.

[the8472]

No, not today. This has already happened a few times. And even before it happened people warned about this predictable use of the technology. There has been enough time to update policies. Even $employer already did, and I consider their security policies so-so.

You can send out free zoom and Google meet links.

Idk if most people would tell the difference
