The question now is whether we are to avoid joining any form of conversation through links or we should be the one to host the meeting in a case like this.
If you are applying for a remote job, sooner or later you will be invited to such meetings. You can't really tell the company and their staff that you won't join their meeting and instead want to host it yourself. Be careful what kind of jobs you apply for and submit your personal information to and keep your crypto away from hot wallets and everyday computers.



Quite a lot of addresses were drained which shows that he should have atleast five different seedphrase (considering HD wallet structures)
I doubt he would have entered them all within that two days.
Actually, he mentioned on X that he did check on his wallets after the interviews and found that everything was ok, until it wasn't. Not sure if those were routine checks or if he was suspecting something.


However, even full access to the computer means that you cannot empty all crypto wallets just like that, unless they are not protected by a password at all, or the attacker knows which wallets the user has and prompts him to open them and thus find out the password.
As I replied to Ambatman, that's exactly what Alex did in the days following his interviews with the scammers.
