๐ Cert Corner
Question: During a job interview, a software engineer is asked to download and run a code repository as a take-home assignment. Whatโs the safest way to handle it?
- A) Run it on their work laptop
- B) Run it only in an isolated, disposable environment with no access to company credentials or networks
- C) Scan it with antivirus, then run it anywhere
- D) Ask the recruiter whether itโs safe
Answer: B. Untrusted code belongs where it canโt reach anything valuable. A work laptop holds what attackers want, antivirus misses new malware, and the recruiter may be the attacker. Practice thousands more questions in DjamgaTech.
