🚨 New scam alert targeting programmers through GitHub

The discovery of hidden malware in job application projects on GitHub has shocked the developer community. Although the file logo.png appears to be an image, it actually contains malware activated through config-overrides.js, aimed at stealing cryptocurrency private keys and installing a trojan that runs automatically when the computer starts.

🔍 Significant impacts:

• 🎯 Target audience: Programmers, especially those looking for jobs – easily becoming victims by trusting sample projects sent by 'employers'.

• 🛡️ Serious security risks: Private keys and personal crypto assets can be easily stolen if mistakenly opening unverified projects.

• 🧨 Breaking community trust in open source: Increasing concerns about security in code sharing and project templates.

✅ Recommendations:

• Do not run code from unclear sources, including from employers.

• Always thoroughly check the source code and any unusual files (including images, configuration files).

• Use a sandbox or virtual machine when testing unverified projects.

💬 This is a wake-up call for the dev and crypto community – vigilance is the first line of defense against increasingly sophisticated attack forms.
