Abstract generation in progress

[Chain News] On August 9, it was reported that a community member was recently asked during an interview with a Web3 team claiming to be from Ukraine to clone a GitHub repository locally, which the member wisely refused. Analysis showed that the repository contained a backdoor that, if cloned and executed, would load malicious code, install malicious dependencies, steal sensitive browser and wallet data (such as Chrome extension storage, possible mnemonic phrase), and leak it to the attacker's server. This is a scam that uses job opportunities as bait. Stay vigilant and never run code from unverified sources.

Who dares to face such a free job? Even rookies know that preserving their life is the priority.

If you can't play, just roll the code.
