Copy, Paste, Compromised: How ClickFix Attacks Work and How CrowdStrike Stops Them
Consider this hypothetical scenario: An employee tries to join what looks like a routine video meeting. The page loads, but instead of the meeting, they see an error message along with a helpful fix: Copy the provided command, open the Windows Run dialog, paste it, and press Enter. The meeting never starts. The command does something else entirely. This is ClickFix, a social engineering technique that turns the victim into the mechanism for executing an attack.
