Is That CAPTCHA Real Or Is It Stealing Your Data? (2026/733)

You tick the box that says “I’m not a robot”, but instead of the usual puzzle, the page asks you to press a few keys on your keyboard to prove you are human. That request is the warning sign. In this Walkthrough Wednesday, Charly walks through a fake CAPTCHA attack that hijacks your clipboard to install information stealers, using a Malwarebytes article to show you what these screens look like and why the wording should put you off straight away.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ What a fake CAPTCHA screen looks like and the moment it stops behaving normally
➡️ Why being asked to press Windows key R, Control V and Enter is never a normal verification step
⚡ How the website quietly copies a command into your clipboard and what running it actually does
⭐ The malware behind it, including Lumma Stealer and SecTopRAT
❗ What to do if you see this, from leaving the site to clearing your clipboard
✨ How Charly weighs up safety against convenience using different browsers and disabling JavaScript

Do You Really Need That App On Your Phone? (2026/732)

Nearly every service you use wants you to install their app. There’s an app for everything: your bank, your shopping, even your streaming. Do you actually need them all, or are they just giving providers more access to your phone than necessary?

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Most apps are just the website wrapped in a different container
➡️ How a privacy-focused browser can replace many of the apps on your phone
⚡ The permissions apps get that websites don’t, including contacts, camera, storage, and background data
⭐ When installing an app genuinely makes sense and when it doesn’t

Before you install the next app, ask yourself: is this making things easier for you, or easier for them?

Does Deleting An App Really Delete Your Data? (2026/731)

You deleted the app, so your data is gone too, right? Not necessarily. When you sign up for a service and hand over your details, that information lives on the company’s servers, not just your phone. Even if you stop using the app, your data could still be sitting there years later, and if that company gets breached, your details could be exposed.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why deleting an app doesn’t remove your data from the company’s servers
➡️ How to think about the information you hand over when signing up
⚡ Steps to log in and cleanse your account before deleting an app
✨ How to request data removal under Australian privacy principles
⭐ Why you should revoke app permissions before uninstalling
☑️ How to track down old accounts through your app store and emails
❗ Checking Sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook for linked accounts

Take the time to go through your phone and clean up properly. Deleting the app is only half the job.
