> captcha asks you to types command in shell. I have no comment on how naive one must be to do this.
someone who knows computers (like a programmer) might not fall for it, but people who do not know computers, but is dabbling could easily fall for it.
The copied command specifically puts in a "user friendly captcha message" into the end, to overflow the run dialog textbox, so that a user who obeyed the instructions will see something vaguely resembling valid captcha verification:
# " ''I am not a robot - reCAPTCHA Verification ID: 93752"
Phishing and scams are not about catching out pros, but catching out "normies".It's quite scary that the scammers have put thought and effort into the method of infiltration, because this is "novel" as far as i have heard.
