Ask HN: Crooked Timber showed showed me a virus captcha, What now?

A Hacker News user encountered a "ClickFix" attack on the Crooked Timber website, where a fake CAPTCHA prompted them to run a malicious PowerShell command via Win+R and Ctrl+V. Commenters explained this is a social engineering scam designed to trick users into executing code that would download malware, and advised that legitimate CAPTCHAs never require code execution. The recommended responses are to report the compromised site to Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal to prevent other users from accessing it.
