@notadeepfake: ClickFix is a social engineering attack that uses fake CAPTCHAs to trick you into installing malware on your own device. How it works: You land on a website and see what looks like a standard Cloudflare verification. You click “I’m not a robot,” but instead of letting you through, it claims there was an error and gives you steps to “fix” it:open your terminal, paste a command, hit enter. What you don’t know is that the moment you clicked, malicious code was silently copied to your clipboard. You ran it yourself, which means your antivirus doesn’t flag it. What attackers can steal: Saved passwords, banking credentials, crypto wallets. Why it works on us: Three psychological levers: familiarity (CAPTCHAs are muscle memory), authority (the page mimics trusted brands like Cloudflare), and our instinct to solve small problems when given an easy fix. #cybersecurity #hacking #onlinesafety #techtok #scamalert
