I just saw this and felt I should share it. I’m sure most people here wouldn’t fall for it but it can’t hurt to make sure 👍

Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I’m using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn’t make it to my clipboard 🤷

    You click the link, it copies bad code, then asks you to paste the code on a privileged terminal window and hit run.

    I saw this a week sometime ago and I had to explain it to all my family members. Evilness.

    Easily defeated by not giving users root access.
