Important Warning: New "Fake CAPTCHA" Scam Targeting Windows Users - At least two very popular Paso Robles business and news websites have been compromised. Please read!!Scammers are using fake reCAPTCHA / "Verify you're human" pop-ups on websites. Instead of clicking pictures, the page tells you to: Press Windows key + R (opens the Run box) Press Ctrl + V (paste) Hit EnterDo NOT do this. The page secretly copies a malicious command (like the one using rundll32.exe from a random internet server) that installs info-stealing and other types of malware. It can grab your saved passwords, banking details, crypto wallets, and more.Real CAPTCHAs never ask you to open Run or paste commands. If you see it — close the tab immediately. If you or anyone you know accidentally ran one of these commands, get your computer checked and cleaned as soon as possible to make sure everything is secure.Questions? Comment below or message us.
