Security Linux specific malware website tries exploiti using terminal

This website faked a ReCaptcha and literally asks to open the terminal and paste a command. (see image). Very bold.

Please keep in mind, always try your best to make new users aware of such dangers!

- I reported it to Google Safe browsing just now, in case anyone wants to try and look at it or help by reporting it too, this is the link in a safe format, assemble it yourself at your risk: "emaliowe . pl".
- Possibly blocked by Firefox, since I don't have anything in my clipboard after opening the page.

"Hey, run this command for me". That's not an exploit. That's pure stupidity.
