I think you're making my point -- is the fact that the putative job offer is for a blockchain company truly relevant to that story? What would stop them from making it an "AI company" or whatever else is the hot topic du jour?
I concede that the relevance is perhaps that if you're going to try and steal cryptowallets, you would want to select for people more likely to be crypto-adjacent, but still. It was a novel attack vector that I'm glad I didn't have to learn about the hard way
How is that relevant? If I get a fake offer from a fake company claiming to solve world hunger, does that mean I don't need to be careful about this previously unknown attack vector?
Do you think scammers can only leverage dodgy industries?
