Is this script able to steal keys from their hardware wallet when they use it or are we assuming they are using a hot wallet?

Damn. They're getting more sophisticated. 🙆
They did this to me. They interviewed me and we went through the whole interview and then they wanted me to share my screen. My camera was on but none of theirs was on. I got serious red flags. I had checked with Bloomberg before and all of the journalists were people who worked at Bloomberg. I didn’t share my screen, but I did share my cell phone screen by calling in with another phone. After the call was done, I called up Bloomberg and they actually checked with the people who had just had an interview with me and they said they had never heard of me. There were six or seven of these scammers and they were very knowledgeable. Be careful out there.

the day someone wants to interview me is a red flag i also think all financial companies should stop sending emails with links. just say "go to our website and login" - they are currently training people to click links in emails. keep yourr head on a swivel
