If you see these messages on your PC, you’re being hacked
In recent months, a surge in ClickFix attacks has taken the threat landscape by storm, leaving many unaware of their vulnerability. According to ESET’s latest Threat Report, such attacks have skyrocketed, second only to phishing threats in danger.
This new attack is a ClickFix attack that is designed to trick users into hacking their own PC when they follow on-screen instructions to fix a technical issue, open a secure file or website, or prove your human through a popup CAPTCHA challenge. Forbes has reported that these attacks have been linked to various malware payloads and nation-state malware.
The attacks are not limited to Windows PCs as SentinelOne warns that North Korean hackers have targeted Mac users with various malware payloads installed on their devices after they run a script purporting to be a Zoom update ahead of joining a scheduled call.
