I went to that link and almost ran a malicious script in my terminal for a supposed reCAPTCHA verification. Just before pressing enter, I verified it with gemini and it said it was a ClickFix script designed to steal passwords and other sensitive information. Because of all the weird things we have to do for CAPTCHA verification these days, I almost believed it was legitimate and went with the steps. It is really frightening.

- squigz 3mo agoWhat's frightening is that you almost ran a script in your terminal for a captcha. Good thing you have Gemini though.
