This new cyberattack tricks you into hacking yourself. Heres how to spot it

▤ Summary

Microsoft warns that ClickFix social engineering attacks are spreading quickly and now account for a large share of initial access incidents. The tactic tricks users into copying and running malicious commands themselves, which helps attackers bypass traditional phishing defenses. Microsoft says these campaigns can lead to ransomware, infostealers, remote access trojans, and persistent network access. Organizations should tighten awareness training, monitor PowerShell and clipboard-to-terminal activity, and use browser hardening plus contextual detection.
