The text it wants me to run is the following:

Looks like the site got hacked and wants be run malware, but I’ve never seen something like this before.
You must log in or register to comment.
I saw a post on this like 6 months ago. It was called a lumma stealer
It’s bad that this scam is running of course but, I have to say this particular scam has almost a nostalgic quality to it. It reminds me of the type of trickery that old school malware back in the day used to rely on to get on to people’s computers. It’s kind of quaint how unsophisticated it is and how much active work it requires of the victim to successfully infect them.
DO NOT FOLLOW THESE PROMPTS. This is a malicious prompt. It places malicious content in your clipboard, and requesting that you paste it into command prompt or powershell, which will infect you.
I know, but I like having the hackers on my computer, I just like the Idea that someone is paying attention to me and likes the same thing I do.
You’re making the local FBI field office jealous. Lol
DONT DO IT. Hahahhahah
The “This is either phishing or a prank, in either case, fucking don’t” type Captcha
Which website gave you those instructions? Name and shame.
Nice trick to feed your computer with a virus.
Lol this looks lile an April Fools prank.
Ctrl + V is paste, and most browsers do not require permission for the website to copy something into your clipboard (as opposed to pasting from your clipboard).
So a paste would just input code for your OS to run. Sus. Its obviously either malware or a prank.
Lmao yeah, I thought “haha funny joke” but people were genuinely asking
For future reference, never run any script or code or command unless you know what it is and does
Hopefully a Rick roll
A dangerous one for sure…
That looks like the site got hacked and wants you to run malware.
Also, you might want to edit the link to change the
.s in the URL to[]so it doesn’t linkify a likely malware link for other users.I figured. That’s why I didn’t run it.
Not sure if you saw my edit since it was after you replied, but you might want to edit the post to change the
.'s in the URL to[]so it doesn’t linkify a likely malware link for other users.Done. I also changed the numbers before, but then I didn’t verify that I broke the link.
Probably just an identifier for tracking who ran it.
Nope it is definately malware. It put a command in your clipboard since websites can do this, and then asks you to open a command window to run the command. This command can easily cause you to get and remotely execute an executable. Because this is so obviously dangerous no legit site would ask you to do this.
I was referring to the ?i=number part, just like google uses si for YouTube.
Definitely malware, as everyone has already said.
It checks if you’re both human AND not a bumbling tumbleweed.
Highly sophisticated Darwinian CAPTCHA
“A way out west there was this fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin’ parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that’s a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, like-wise. But then again, maybe that’s why I found the place s’durned innarestin’.”
It’s called the ‘John Hammond attack’. Even though it existed before he added his 2 cents, what you see in your image is his addition.
Watch his video to see him explain it.
before he added his 2 cents
He spared no expense, huh.
Well, if it was a Richard Hammond attack, it would probably crash itself.
At 200mph
HAMMOND YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!
aye!!! man of culture
And have it’s teeth whitened
That’s definitely trying to hack you.
From the instructions, I would say they are trying to convince them to hack themselves (and yes, I know, that’s how 95% of hacking works… But is that only me, or this one is so obvious that it hurts?)
It’s not only you, but it definitely would fly over the heads of 95% of my co-workers.
