Hacking, scams, fakes soared in the pandemic, what happens afterwards?

Hacking horror stories, new and more devious scams and fake, well, everything, have all been given a boost during the pandemic. Hacking has now reached levels where the events we used to read stories about and worry about now result in a resigned shrug. Credit cards, password information and login details, once seen as valuable to hacking groups, are now available on the dark web for next to nothing. Then it would have been a ‘smash and grab’ hacking operation, and the information gleaned would have been sold to the highest bidder. It is not exactly hacking, but it is pretty clever (if you think that hacking and manipulating people is clever).
