The internet is a dangerous place these days and there's always one more new thing to watch out for. Right now, it's fake CAPTCHAs.
A real CAPTCHA (which stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart,” by the way — just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?) runs in your browser. It might ask you to click a box, identify images, or wait for a quick verification. What it shouldn’t do is ask you to send a text message, open your phone’s SMS app, tell you to press a strange combination of keys, or ask you to copy and paste anything into your computer.
Take a couple of minutes to read the article. It may save you a lot of grief later.
