Windows users warned of major security issue – here’s why FileFix attack could be a big concern




  • A researcher has developed a new social engineering attack
  • The attack, a variant of the existing ClickFix issue, has been called FileFix
  • Windows users are at risk, so be on your guard

A new version of popular social engineering tool ClickFix has been developed, potentially putting Windows users at risk.

A cybersecurity researcher who goes by the name mr. dox has developed a new version of ClickFix, a browser-based attack often disguised as captchas to trick victims into pressing a button which then copies a command to Windows Clipboard. From there, users are encouraged to paste the command into a prompt to ‘fix’ an issue.
