Crypto hackers are using a sophisticated new malware attack disguised as a high-paying job interview on platforms like LinkedIn.

The scam involves instructing victims to "fix" a microphone/camera issue, which actually installs malware granting hackers access to their computers and crypto wallets.

Be extremely vigilant and skeptical of unsolicited job offers, especially those involving unusual technical troubleshooting steps; wiping your computer is recommended if you suspect infection.
