I'm impressed how thorough this pwnage app is. Vacuums up all the creds

"Instead, the attack depends on the victim pasting a command into Terminal and running it."

Say what? Who falls for this?

As mentioned it's just like ClickFix on Windows. Honestly as bad as this, credit where credit is due, this and ClickFix are BRILLIANT!

The sophisticated user shouldn't fall for it but the uneducated normal user totally would! You have no idea how gulible the average user is.

Let's get them to infect their system by doing the work for us. Let them run the command on their system. So smart!

If I see even one suspicious pixel, I hold the power button on my computer until it goes nuclear.

Come to think of it, a desktop would be really useful in this scenario.

The best on and off button is the plug and the outlet.
