So doesn't the user have to add +x to run this?

It never occurred to me before reading this comment that there actually is a use case for the execute permission. To me it was always just this annoying thing I have to do whenever I download an executable which I didn't have to do on Windows.

Fun fact, Windows has the same permission it just defaults to enabled.

how someone working on software and tech opens a file called "HSBC job offer.pdf.zip" is beyond me...

Still the exploit is easier to avoid compared to windows viruses and stuff. Even with the linux popularity increasing there is already out there good solutions to prevent this kinda stuff like have SELinux installed, use firejail to run suspicious files, use proxies to visit weird sites (you can use proxychains + tor, a bit overkill but works if you don't have a local proxy), etc.
Not to mention that one of the attack vectors of this exploit requires using a systemd feature which is the sysnetd which isnt going to work on other init systems. Reason why a lot of times minimalism can be superior to just having all the features + unnecessary ones out of the box.

I’m not gonna lie. I want any job, no matter how fake, that uses a reddened North Korean “Hotel of Doom” in its literature.

Wouldn't it show the icon of an executable file and ask if you want to open it or execute it?

If you run random .pdf.something-files pm‘d to you on LinkedIn you probably shouldn’t use a computer anyway, no matter if it runs Linux or Windows…
Looks like they're going after desperate job seeking crypto bros. Even if it's not terribly effective, it's a spray and pray, so they probably got some people.
Seems to me like they are targeting people who likely have access to assets that can be easily stolen and hard to track.
I work for a large IT company so we've had numerous such training courses, but then they use third party services for time reporting, manager evaluation, cloud services, personal finance advice, etc. so I regularly get emails with links to domains that I've never heard about that I'm supposed to trust..
Yeah, i teached my dad (not interested in IT at all) what weird urls in E-Mails look like and he has less spam now. Still 500 unread mails in inbox though.
