Description
McAfee Labs uncovered a sophisticated social engineering technique, dubbed 'ClickFix,' for deploying malware such as DarkGate and Lumma Stealer. Victims are lured to compromised websites displaying error messages with instructions to paste scripts in PowerShell, facilitating malware downloads and execution. This deceptive tactic exploits users' trust by masquerading as legitimate error prompts, tricking them into unknowingly executing malicious code that compromises their systems.
