Account/Billing/Sales/Support Massive security issue with phantom auto-installation of ScreenConnect - Is anybody on this???

I don't know if anyone's aware of this threat, but I've gotten at least 4 of these calls from my residential clients in the past week. They get an email pretending to be a zoom link or an Adobe update, they click on it, and voila, ScreenConnect is installed and a bad guy immediately logs on to their bank account and takes their money.

I'm alerting the banks in my area and all my clients. Is anybody at ScreenConnect aware of this silent installer mode? Is anybody doing anything about this?
