I just saw this and felt I should share it. I’m sure most people here wouldn’t fall for it but it can’t hurt to make sure 👍

Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I’m using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn’t make it to my clipboard 🤷

    Anyone falling for this lacks a basic understanding of technology, and should not be near the Internet unsupervised until they do. Regardless of age - plenty of young folk blindly walking into shit too.

    If you know people like this - please teach them. If you can’t teach them, at least set them up with foolproof tools. A non-chromium browser and ublock origin is a good start. If you’ve got the know-how, a DNSBL like a pihole (for whole home blocking) or adaway/blokada (for Android) are good additional layers.

    And get their data backed up 😬
