If malware is already running as you with the ability to write to your files, what does it gain by Trojaning your VSCode to do bad stuff instead of just doing the bad stuff directly?
- pdonis 2y agoTrojaning your VSCode means trojaning the compiler that makes executables for you so what gets compiled is not just the source code you put in. And these are executables you might end up shipping somewhere. Is it really so hard to see why doing that might be something malware would want?
