Something else to keep an eye on.
๐๐ฉโ๐ป
Keep an eye out for fake CAPTCHA pages! โ ๏ธ๐
CAPTCHAs are used to prove youโre โnot a robotโ by clicking on specific images that include things like cars or traffic lights ๐ฑ๏ธ๐ฆ
We continue to see cybercriminals using fake CAPTCHA prompts, on real and fake websites, to steal information from Australians and gain access to their devices. Some fake CAPTCHAs are asking users to copy and paste malicious code, tricking them into downloading malware to their device.
Copying and pasting text or code is not a normal CAPTCHA process ๐ซ If you see a prompt to do this, treat it as malicious.
