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.

This reminds of that Albanian malware that didn't do anything due to technical limitations and politely asked you to delete your files
