⚠️ Fake captcha stole $600,000 from a crypto investor! A new dangerous phishing scheme 🚨
Be extremely careful when interacting with new memecoins and unknown websites! Cybercriminals have come up with a new crafty scheme to empty wallets.
🕵️♂️ How the scheme works (Fake Captcha / ClickFix):
Trap: On a card for a questionable memecoin or a #nft - project, a link to a fake site is added.
“Verification”: On the page, a captcha window appears: “Confirm that you’re human.”
Hidden script: When you click the button, malicious code is automatically copied to your clipboard.
Manipulation: The site asks you to open the system terminal (PowerShell on Windows or Terminal on macOS) and press CTRL+V -> Enter.
Finale: The user launches the stealer manually, which instantly steals saved passwords, browser sessions, and seed phrases/access to crypto wallets.
🔒 GOLDEN SECURITY RULE:
In reality, no legitimate captcha (Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, etc.) WILL EVER require you to open third-party apps, the command line, or paste copied code!
