    I CLICKED ON A FAKE CAPTCHA. PLEASE HELP ME.

    A user clicked on a fake CAPTCHA on a pirated website, was redirected to a gambling site, and took security measures. They did not paste any command but are concerned about account or data compromise. The incident occurred on an outdated iPad running an old iPadOS version.

    This Fake captcha goes crazy.

    A fake CAPTCHA on a random website tricks non-IT users into executing a command by instructing them to open the Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter. The submission is attributed to user /u/Hakan47.
