Appreciation post: getting popped by a fake CAPTCHA at a coffee shop
Saw a phishing CAPTCHA at Starbucks on 3rd street last week and almost fell for it because it looked exactly like the real login screen. How do you spot these things when you're just trying to get some work done?

Got tricked by one of those fake login screens last month and it locked up my whole phone.

Oh man, that "got tricked" part is rough. I almost fell for one of those fake login screens too until I noticed the URL was totally off. @james_ramirez you probably already know this but next time if it asks for your password twice in a row that's a huge red flag. The real trick is to never type anything and just force close the app from your phone's settings.
