ClickFix Chaos: Linux Users Beware of APT36’s Sneaky New Malware Tactics!
ClickFix is now targeting Linux users, courtesy of APT36, with a cunning website impersonating India’s Ministry of Defence. Victims are lured into pasting commands to execute malware. Remember, folks, copying random commands is like giving your computer a surprise tattoo—it might look exciting, but it’s probably a terrible idea.
Hot Take:
Who knew that Linux users would finally get the attention they deserve, but not the kind they wanted? Thanks, APT36, for making sure Linux isn’t left out of the malware party. Now everyone can experience the joy of being tricked by ClickFix attacks, regardless of their OS allegiance!
Key Points:
- ClickFix attacks now target Linux, alongside Windows and macOS users.
- The attacks employ social engineering to trick users into executing malicious commands.
- APT36, linked to Pakistan, is using fake Google Meet errors and impersonating India’s Ministry of Defence.
- On Windows, PowerShell scripts lead to info-stealer malware or ransomware.
- Linux users are deceived into executing a benign script, potentially a test for more harmful future attacks.
