FML, just fell victim to a fake tech interview. Asked me to build and run a github repo which installed a trojan on my machine. Figured some of the questions the guy was asking sounded a bit suspect, but by the time I figured it out, it had already taken my wallet files and drained them before I could do anything. Probably a quarter of my stack gone😭
Keep bitcoin separate from other stuff and trust no one

OMFG. I read about this particular scam a few days ago. Commiserations my friend☹️. I know a ¼ is a good chunk but it could have been another ¾'s worse🙏🏻.

Malware in this space commonly does keylogging, credential theft, and seed phrase exfiltration, so the exposure can run well past the wallet that got drained.

This is the second pwn I've heard about from cloning a repo and running it :(

Was it a hot wallet? Which one?

Running untrusted executables on your hot wallet machine as the same user even? Hard to call that a scam, more of a donation.
