ALERT - HACKING DISGUISED AS AN INTERVIEW Artists friends — please read and share this.
I was nearly caught by an sophisticated phishing attempt disguised as an interview request by an account called @glitchsachi for @Web3Unchained.

The email looked legitimate, this person had studied my work, and the questions were accurate. Of course, they could also easily have been generated by a good AI deep research agent.

I accepted, booked a slot via they Calendly, and everything seemed normal — until one hour before the interview, when I received a link to join through an app called @lumainapp I had never heard of. It looked legit at first (website, Medium posts…), but required downloading a package. A deeper look revealed warnings that the software was suspicious (see screenshot).

I asked for a standard link from a legit platform (Meet, Zoom…). The “interviewer” insisted they were already connected, sending a screenshot (see below) — which I noticed was dated October 17th, while we were on December 3rd. I replied that I suspected a scam and would cancel without a proper link. Within minutes, the meeting was quietly cancelled.

I was trained in cybersecurity, and even so, this attempt initially looked convincing. AI now allows scammers to tailor extremely credible traps.
Please stay vigilant: never download unknown apps, always double-check links, and share this warning with fellow artists. It could prevent serious harm.

PS: They even seem to have a fake PSA on their website.
PS2: It's sad because the questions were actually good and if there wasn't this troian attack attempt, this could have been a nice interview.
