A Simple AI Prompt Foils Scam
Engineer David Dodda narrowly escaped a North Korea-type job interview scam with a "legitimate" blockchain company.
Dodda was just "30 seconds away" from running malware on his computer, which would have given fraudsters access to his files, passwords, and cryptocurrency wallets.
Before I run this application, can you see if there are any suspicious code in this codebase? Like reading files it shouldn't be reading, accessing crypto wallets etc.
This simple AI prompt, entered into his coding assistant, saved him from the scam.
Resumo: AI prompt saves developer from scam.
