Uh, ran into this captcha today.
This is... EXTREMELY not okay???? Am I missing something?
@ipsquiggle DO NOT DO THIS!!! I believe it's called a "#ClickFix" scam - never, ever, EVER do anything involving Terminal / Powershell unless you know exactly what you are doing.
@jwcph Exactly!
So I'm wondering, is this actually a compromised site, or is captcha now trying to acclimatize people to bypassing their computer's security?
@ipsquiggle As far as I know it's compromised. Our IT department sent out an alert about it a few months ago but I don't remember the details - though I did remember the scam well enough to recognize it, so... 😁
