The text it wants me to run is the following:

Looks like the site got hacked and wants be run malware, but I’ve never seen something like this before.
This is not a captcha, it’s a trick. Don’t do it.
They copy malware into your clipboard and try to trick you into pasting that malware into an environment that will run it.
Delete/ignore and move along.
I saw a post on this like 6 months ago. It was called a lumma stealer
Since I use a Mac, I don’t get this joke.
Does something malicious on windows. They can also do something similar by detecting your os and making you run the mac or linux alternative.
It’s bad that this scam is running of course but, I have to say this particular scam has almost a nostalgic quality to it. It reminds me of the type of trickery that old school malware back in the day used to rely on to get on to people’s computers. It’s kind of quaint how unsophisticated it is and how much active work it requires of the victim to successfully infect them.
DONT DO IT. Hahahhahah
DO NOT FOLLOW THESE PROMPTS. This is a malicious prompt. It places malicious content in your clipboard, and requesting that you paste it into command prompt or powershell, which will infect you.
I know, but I like having the hackers on my computer, I just like the Idea that someone is paying attention to me and likes the same thing I do.
You’re making the local FBI field office jealous. Lol
Hopefully a Rick roll
Nice trick to feed your computer with a virus.
Which website gave you those instructions? Name and shame.
The “This is either phishing or a prank, in either case, fucking don’t” type Captcha
Lol this looks lile an April Fools prank.
Ctrl + V is paste, and most browsers do not require permission for the website to copy something into your clipboard (as opposed to pasting from your clipboard).
So a paste would just input code for your OS to run. Sus. Its obviously either malware or a prank.
Lmao yeah, I thought “haha funny joke” but people were genuinely asking
For future reference, never run any script or code or command unless you know what it is and does
A dangerous one for sure…
It’s called the ‘John Hammond attack’. Even though it existed before he added his 2 cents, what you see in your image is his addition.
Watch his video to see him explain it.
before he added his 2 cents
He spared no expense, huh.
Well, if it was a Richard Hammond attack, it would probably crash itself.
At 200mph
HAMMOND YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!
And have it’s teeth whitened
aye!!! man of culture
It checks if you’re both human AND not a bumbling tumbleweed.
Highly sophisticated Darwinian CAPTCHA
“A way out west there was this fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin’ parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that’s a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, like-wise. But then again, maybe that’s why I found the place s’durned innarestin’.”
I do strongly encourage everyone to go back to pen and paper.
sort of /s but also sort of not /s
