I just saw this and felt I should share it. I'm sure most people here wouldn't fall for it but it can't hurt to make sure 👍
Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I'm using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn't make it to my clipboard 🤷
This tactic is so old, but it weaponizes the annoying ubiquity of capchas. People just want to get to where they're going, so they click the squares and do the dance to get past the seemingly arbitrary barriers.
This technique shows up on !cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works every few weeks as the initial attack vector for some new RAT.
