Life is a lot easier once you stop seeing threat actors as hackers who want to break into systems by any means possible, and start seeing them as businesses with well defined business processes. A bakery isn't going to start making dog food because there's a dog food shortage. ClickFix and Phishing actors aren't going to drop everything to vibecode exploits just because a critical CVE came out. The fact that the only actors exploiting this are the actors whose MO is exploiting things... isn't a coincidence. It's entirely predictable if you understand threat actor behavior.

"compromised DevOps engineer's laptop" I swear to god if this was Contagious Interview, I'm moving to North Korea and stealing bitcoin for a living. For context, Contagious Interview is one of DPRK's techniques where they reach out to developers in the target organization and offer them higher paying jobs. They then tell them the job offer is contingent on them completing a "coding skills assessment" to prove their ability. The source code is backdoored with malware, and the targets sometime run it on their work laptop, because why wouldn't you run untrusted code some random internet dude gave you on your work laptop.
