According to PANews, a recent disclosure by SlowMist highlights a scam involving a purported Web3 team from Ukraine. A community member was asked to clone a GitHub repository during a job interview, which they wisely declined.
The analysis revealed that the repository contained a backdoor. If cloned and executed, it would load malicious code, install harmful dependencies, and steal sensitive browser and wallet data, such as Chrome extension storage and potential mnemonic phrases, leaking them to the attacker's server. This incident underscores the importance of vigilance and the need to avoid running unverified code.#Web3 #JobScam #CyberSecurity #MaliciousCode #GitHub #Backdoor #DataProtection #ITSecurity #Vigilance #ScamAlert

According to PANews, a source revealed by ZachXBT has exposed a North Korean IT team using over 30 fake identities to secure developer positions. The team reportedly purchased Upwork and LinkedIn accounts using government IDs and conducted work through AnyDesk. The data obtained includes Google Drive exports, Chrome profiles, and screenshots.
The wallet address 0x78e1 is closely linked to a $680,000 attack on the Favrr platform in June 2025, with more North Korean IT personnel identified. The team utilized Google products to organize tasks and purchased SSNs, AI subscriptions, and VPNs. Some browsing history indicates frequent use of Google Translate for Korean translations, with IP addresses traced to Russia. The lack of vigilance from recruiters and insufficient collaboration between services pose significant challenges in combating such activities.#NorthKorea #ITSecurity #CyberCrime #FakeIdentities #DeveloperJobs #Upwork #LinkedIn #DataBreach #VPN #GoogleProducts #DigitalIdentity #RecruitmentChallenges #CyberThreats
