Someone tried to hack my computer with a fake job interview once. I believe it was a real person because there wasn't much latency.

They tried to get me to git clone a repo, presumably to get me to install malicious npm dependencies.

I refused, then they wanted me to download Claude Code but I told them I already had Claude Code harness installed on my machine... But they said I should install a different version of it; they sent me a link... The landing page was the same kind of design as Anthropic uses but I didn't recognise the URL. I stopped the interview right there.

If I end up in a situation like that I'll be strongly tempted to call the FBI.
