Mitsukeru coded. It's a tough market out there. Usually these contagious interviews expect you to do it with some tool (IDE) and now many also ask for prompts you used to achieve outcomes (Shows thinking). Like macros, the .vscode stuff can run on open. Only real way to fix this is to watch what that executable is doing and stop it in its tracks. FWIW, they have scripts for Windows, macOS and Linux. I brought attention this this before a week ago. There have been such exploits going on for months, sadly. I do not expect people to use vim. Or sandboxes (which are actually a good thing). We can't change behaviour easily - we have to just build protections around behaviour. I often say Mitsukeru is a butler/guardian, but the reality is, it has to act like an Internet condom, aka firewall to some extent. P/S: here's another horror story where the chap lost $20,000, and he was *more* careful than most! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/haocherhong_lost-20000-usd-to-a-linkedin-interview-activity-7415107470534062080-X8vh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAACzyFOwBfbdKt-ayuhNfUPz-NqhZNJ6Skq4 https://farcaster.xyz/bytebot/0xe4f2215b
