fake captcha

The fake captcha tag on WindowsForum.com covers social engineering scams that imitate legitimate CAPTCHA verification prompts to trick Windows users into running malicious clipboard commands. The featured discussion examines a ClickFix-style attack in which a fraudulent "I am human" checkbox or verification page instructs visitors to paste a copied command into the Windows Run dialog, silently installing malware or handing attackers control of the PC. The coverage draws on a real-world encounter alongside security documentation from Microsoft Threat Intelligence and Cloudflare, explaining why these fake verification prompts have become such an effective and widespread threat.
