Date of Scan: December 9, 2025
Impact: Medium
Summary: ClickFix is a social-engineering technique that tricks users into pasting malicious scripts—often injected into the clipboard through pastejacking—into terminals or run windows, leading to system compromise. Since September 2025, detections have surged to over 200 compromised sites daily, driven by lures that mimic Google’s “Aw Snap!” error or fake browser update pages. These fraudulent pages guide victims through steps that ultimately deliver malware such as droppers, downloaders, and malicious browser extensions.
