CAPTCHA Scams Are on the Rise

Beware of Fake CAPTCHA Scams!

Cybercriminals are now using fake “I’m not a robot” CAPTCHA prompts to trick users into compromising their devices. Instead of a simple check, these scams may ask you to click “Allow,” enable notifications, or follow extra steps—leading to annoying pop-ups, phishing attempts, or even malware.

Here's what to watch for:

• Prompts that appear after clicking suspicious ads or links.
• Requests to enable notifications, download files, or enter system commands (these are red flags!)

Remember: Real CAPTCHA tests never ask for these actions.

Stay vigilant and think twice before interacting with unexpected pop-ups. Protect your devices and your data!
