Job search, zoom call update scam

while searching jobs had one job post come up. verified the company was legit. Sent in resume. Received an email wanting to do a preliminary zoom interview. Entered zoom and it immediately popped up update app. upon doing so it downloaded malware. a hour or so later, all my financial apps were sending notices of withdrawals. Had 2 accounts drained, was on 3rd one. Was able to contact all institutions in time to stop any further actions. Have had to do a system reset on phones, change all account numbers, have new cards coming. Banks have reversed all charges but it was close. accounts are still froze on 2 that were drained while under investigation. Not all job posting are legit even if the company was a real company. They have now spoofed our business ph number and am getting calls constantly about orders.

    I had a person contact me for a proofreading/editing job, said they would pay 3500. I completed the job and emailed it back to them and they gave me an international bank to set up an account with. I made the account and the money was really I my account but they wanted a fee to release the money to my account and refused to take it out of the 3500. Now I just have that money stuck there. When I looked up the bank name it all looked like a scam from what I understood about it

    open the app separately, and see if it needs an update.
