Beware: New “FileFix” Malware Ploy Steals Data Faster Than You Can Say ‘Facebook Security’!
Cybersecurity researchers are alarmed by a new campaign using the FileFix tactic to deploy StealC malware. This devious plot involves phishing sites tricking users into copying commands that unleash chaos on their machines. It’s like a high-stakes game of “copy-paste,” but the prize is malware instead of a new recipe.
Hot Take:
Looks like hackers are stepping up their game with a fresh take on phishing, and it’s not your typical bait-and-switch scenario. They’re using our beloved File Explorer like it’s a secret agent gone rogue, causing chaos with just a few clicks and some sneaky copy-pasting. We always thought the worst thing File Explorer could do was not respond, but this new trick is giving ‘hanging’ a whole new meaning. You might want to consider turning your computer into a potato—less functionality, more security!
Key Points:
– FileFix uses a phishing site to trick users into executing malicious commands.
– The attack exploits the trust in legitimate platforms like Bitbucket.
– The campaign employs advanced obfuscation to avoid detection.
– Affected users are tricked into running malicious PowerShell scripts.
– Doppel reports a similar campaign using an AutoHotkey script.
