"Times of crisis are always a heyday for disinformation, misinformation and conspiracy myths," Lena Frischlich, a media psychologist at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and an expert on conspiracy theories, told DW.

 And, speaking of heydays, this from the World Economic Forum:

Most respondents to the 2022-2023 Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS) chose “Energy supply crisis”; “Cost-of-living crisis”; “Rising inflation”; “Food supply crisis” and “Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure” as among the top risks for 2023 with the greatest potential impact on a global scale (Figure 1.1). Those that are outside the top 5 for the year but remain concerns include: failure to meet net-zero targets; weaponization of economic policy; weakening of human rights; a debt crisis; and failure of non-food supply chains.
