- Takuya received a phishing email disguised as a user support inquiry.
- The email claimed an issue with a cookie consent dialog, which doesn't exist on Takuya's app website.
- The attacker sent a suspicious link under the guise of a screenshot, leading to a phishing attempt.
- The link directed to a fake Captcha screen, which then instructed running a malicious terminal command.
- The command was designed to download and execute a harmful script from a remote server.
- AI-powered spam and phishing attempts are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect.
- Takuya warns others to stay vigilant as these attacks are increasingly common and cleverly disguised.
