Attackers create convincing webpages that look like legitimate verification screens, security checks, or login prompts.
They may ask you to:
Press Windows + R
Open PowerShell or Command Prompt
Copy and paste a command
Follow instructions to "verify you're human" or regain access to a website.
If you follow these instructions, you could unintentionally give attackers access to your device, accounts, or personal information.
