I’m receiving several high-paying blockchain roles with nearly identical instructions: deploy code through the terminal and skip standard editors. Could these be scams with hidden malware?
hey all, i haven’t seen exactly these job posts but i totally get the vibe. i came across a similar thing where they were pushing for direct terminal commands and bypassing regular editors, which seemed kinda fishy to me too. i wonder if it’s a way to slip something into your environment without you really noticing. maybe it’s not just malware—they could be trying to pull off some shady crypto schemes or even steal your code. how do you guys normally check if a high-pay role is legit before diving in? any tools or tests that can help spot if something’s off? would love to hear any experiences or theories about this.
hey ppl, i’ve seen those offers too. high pay and skipping standard inspections seems off. best to do your own recon and check up firm history before commitin. might be too good to be true.
hey evryone, i’ve been following this thread and gotta say, these offers really got me thinking too. i mean, if they insist on bypassing all the standard editors and push you to deploy code directly, it raises more than a few eyebrows. i know sometimes its just a sign of a mad innovation but it also could allow someone to slip in weird scripts or even compromise your work environment - like who knows what subtle backdoor they might be planning. i’ve been wondering if maybe those companies think their process is ‘cutting edge’ or if it’s a red flag that you shouldn’t ignore entirely. has anyone ever tried to get more deets or maybe done a bit of recon on the company’s background? what do u think is the best way to test their claims without exposing yourself too much? would love to hear thoughts from anyone who might have had a similar experience!
I have encountered similar situations in the blockchain field where instructions deviate from standard coding practices, which added to my suspicion. At times the job offers bypass the regular workflows and security audits that are common in conventional roles. Instructions that encourage direct terminal command execution while avoiding standard editors have made me take extra precautions in verifying the role details. In my experience, such deviations are a strong indication to conduct a thorough due diligence before committing to any project that appears non-traditional or lacks transparency.
