I wish more people knew what Run... did, but the Ctrl + v should be a little more obvious. We need to teach more computer literacy if you don't immediately know that means you're copying text to something.

Especially on a shady site, mind you. But then again, this could be on a phishing email, so that's not always the case I guess. (I got one from "STARBUCKS" that Gmail didn't catch, their spam filter has been shit lately, blocking my work emails but letting through a lot of sus stuff).

Just reported by Mohamed Aruham on Twitter

The oldest tweets I could find that actually started reporting this are from ~16 days ago.

General rule of thumb for me to interact with a website and read or watch whatever I want .... if you require me to do more than two things to show me the content I came to see, I'm closing the tab or windows and moving on.

If it's really important and security related, I'll take my time and carefully examine everything I do.

Otherwise I'm not clicking more than twice and definitely not using my keyboard to see your dumb website or TikTok video.

This isn't targeting you.

These scumbags are going after the elderly and computer illiterate.
