Beware of Tech Challenges Scam! I'm exposing a fraudulent company sharing a tech challenge with malware hidden in the code. Initially, I thought the obfuscated code might be part of the challenge, but when I questioned it, my comment was deleted, and I was blocked. The company in question: TechVantage The contact: Yasin Berkhan Urk (appeared legit with LinkedIn Premium but turned out suspicious). Here’s why you should be cautious: - No proper address listed on their website. - Fake employee profiles with inconsistent backgrounds. - AI-generated photos for profiles (reverse searches didn’t match). I’ve detailed how the malware works and how you can reproduce it for further investigation here: https://lnkd.in/gQt68Utk What you can do to help: - Report the TechVantage LinkedIn page. - Report their GitHub page: TechVantageTM. Stay safe! #scam #techchallenge #cybersecurity #malware
Thank you for your investigation!
