WTF - is this normal? [Edited to add: I am now aware this is not normal and is a ClickFix-type attack; unsure of its source.] A website wanting to verify I'm human accepts my tick in the checkbox then wants me to run some unknown thing on the command line?!!! (Pasted the command into a text editor and couldn't decipher it, so very much nope.) [Edited again a few weeks later to note that my computer was fine, and it turned out the Birdcare Aotearoa website had been compromised. Their general manager wrote me a heartfelt message of thanks for giving them enough information for their external IT support to identify and fix the problem. So thanks to everyone here!]
