This works because we've been conditioned to install videochat plugins, no matter the security warnings.
Personally I installed a few of these. I remember when running Google Meet without Chrome required some plugin and when Zoom required admin password every now and then to perform an update (even after the Mac vulnerability incident[1]).
I hope I'll think twice next time I see a prompt to install a plugin like this.

- Angostura 2y agoIt worked partly because the company website listed the scammer’s Twitter handle as legit

- lostmsu 2y agoAh good, looks like avoiding the Zoom, Telegram, etc apps and using website instead, and only installing messengers that are sandboxed is paying off.
