BlockBeats News, July 28th: According to SlowMist Cosine, a hacker group disguised as a recruitment effort on the V2EX platform to publish fake job postings, enticing interviewees with attractive benefits. The group induced interviewees to develop a webpage based on their pre-prepared malicious code repository as a project template.

Once the interviewees downloaded and debugged the relevant code, their computers would be infected with malware, potentially leading to the theft of cryptocurrency assets and various account permissions. This attack method exploited job seekers' trust in technical interviews by carrying out a network attack through seemingly normal development tasks.

Job seekers should remain vigilant when participating in technical interviews, avoiding running code from unknown sources on personal devices, and it is recommended to use a virtual machine or sandbox environment for testing.
