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... 😁

So I'm wondering, is this actually a compromised site, or is captcha now trying to acclimatize people to bypassing their computer's security?

I believe it's called a "" scam - never, ever, EVER do anything involving Terminal / Powershell unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Yikes, that is a captcha I am prepared to fail!!

But it wants me to run THIS? Like how the hell can I trust that? 🤣

(If someone wants to tell me that this is indeed a hack and the site has been compromised, I'd feel better!)
