A user on V2EX recently revealed a dangerous scam encountered during a job application process. The applicant was asked to use a GitHub project template provided by the recruiter.
🔍 The catch?
A file named "logo.png"—which appeared to be a normal image—actually contained malicious executable code, triggered via the config-overrides.js file with the intent to:
🧨 Steal cryptocurrency wallet private keys!
The code:
Downloads a hidden trojan file
Sets it to run automatically at startup
Sends sensitive data to an unknown server
👨💻 The GitHub repo was removed, and the account was banned, but this incident served as a serious wake-up call for developers.
⚠️ Important Tip:
Never run code from unknown sources—even if it looks harmless or comes from a "recruiter".
