Swtorista.com appears to be compromised (Fake Verification/Malware Warning)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a heads-up to anyone trying to visit Swtorista's site right now.

I ran into a very suspicious "Verification" screen (see attached image). It asks you to press Win + R, paste a command, and hit enter to "prove you are not a robot."

DO NOT DO THIS.

This is a Social Engineering attack. The site has likely been compromised, and following those instructions will execute a malicious PowerShell script on your computer that can steal your login credentials and session cookies.

If you see this screen:

  • Close the tab immediately.
  • Do NOT copy/paste anything the site tells you to.
  • Clear your clipboard by copying some random text (like "Safe") from elsewhere.

Stay safe out there!
