Because I want to double check if it's a real thing because it had a "prove your not a robot" thing and the thing... Is this
Now, I use mobile and legit can't do these instructions, which I feel like would be a huge oversight for the actual tumblr staff to do. But also because it is telling me to do a bunch of commands that I don't know what they do normally, so I feel like it's someone trying to scam me
Thoughts on this?
SERIOUS WARNING TIME - DO NOT DO THIS!!!!
This is an update to the Verify Your Account Scam.
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE ANYTHING FROM A WEBSITE "CAPCHA" INTO POWERSHELL/TERMINAL AND PRESS ENTER.
If the scammers are now trying to get you to copy and paste things into Terminal/powershell aka the command prompt, they're trying to get you to run code you copied that you cannot see!
This will force your computer to download a "payload" which will automatically install and run malware on your machine, stealing your passwords, credit card information, or potentially infecting it with Ransomware and in the worst case of all, installing a RAT (random access trojan) which would allow hackers full access to your machine and it's extermely difficult to get rid of!
Please see this video by NTTS (No Text To Speech) about the dangers of this:
