Uncover the silent threat: ClickFix, a cunning cyber-attack that could be the biggest security risk your family hasn’t heard of. Imagine this: attackers target Windows users by compromising hotel accounts on Booking.com or similar travel sites. They then contact unsuspecting guests with pending reservations, creating an immediate sense of trust. But here’s the twist: these attackers use a clever trick. They present a fake CAPTCHA, mimicking the real deal from Cloudflare, asking victims to copy and paste text into the Windows terminal. This simple action infects their machines with PureRAT malware. Now, here’s where it gets even more intriguing. Push Security uncovered a ClickFix campaign that adapts to the device it’s targeting, delivering different payloads for Windows or macOS. These payloads, known as LOLbins, exploit native OS capabilities, making them hard to detect. The real controversy? These commands, often base-64 encoded, can bypass browser sandboxes, leaving many security tools blind to their malicious nature. And the catch? Many users still fall for the trick, trusting instructions from known sources like hotels or Google. With holiday gatherings on the horizon, it’s crucial to spread awareness. While Microsoft Defender and endpoint protection offer some defenses, awareness remains the ultimate shield. So, the next time you’re asked for security advice, remember: ClickFix is a silent threat that demands our attention.
