I'm seeing red flags all over the story. "Blockchain" being the first one. The use cases for that are so small, it is a red flag in and of itself. Then asking you to run code before a meeting? No, that doesn't "save time", that is driving you to take actions when you don't yet know who is asking. Still, I appreciate the write-up. It is a great example of a clever attack, and I'm going to watch out more for such thing…

The pseudonym "Mykola Yanchii" on LinkedIn [1] doesn't look real at all. Click "More" button -> "About this profile", RED FLAGS ALL OVER. -> Joined May 2025 -> Contact information Updated less than 6 months ago -> Profile photo Updated less than 6 months ago Funny things, this profile has the LinkedIn Verified Checkmark and was verified by Persona ?!?! -> This might be a red flag for Persona service itself as it migh…
