Hi Maxime & Haider,
(This is not to accuse you Haider, who I don't know, of probing Maxime
-- but consider the seemingly casual example you are setting for noobs
in suggesting running an unknown (to others) binary).

The con starts off as many that target individuals do
nowadays: With a text message. In this case it's not a
phishing attempt, it's an attempt to ascertain whether the
person receiving the message is susceptible to further
manipulation.

So, Maxime, ["I'm not running random binaries."] you are apparently not
"susceptible to further manipulation." :)
Good for you, but what about warning less sophisticated guix noobs more actively?
