  Burner numbers are a thing for this reason.

  > At the end of the call she casually mentioned that they’d send over a link to a build that I could install and play with. This guy is straight-up idiot. He straight-up installed an executable from a shady sources into his main machine where he keeps all his personal information and paid the ultimate price.

    Yup. I'm an idiot. There are plenty of people like me. I wouldn't install an application downloaded from any old website on the internet. I did in this case because it didn't occur to me that, in the context of a job interview, I was in danger. I was. I made a mistake because I was stressed and not thinking. Shit happens. A little empathy goes a long way.
