Here’s what you need to look out for — and what you need to do.As warnings go, this one will be straightforward.

As for those state hackers, “multiple examples of state-sponsored actors using ClickFix have shown not only the technique’s popularity among state actors, but also its use by various countries within weeks of one another.” ProofPoint says “in most cases, the groups returned to standard campaigns after their ClickFix campaigns.” Most people reading this will not be targeted by Russian, Iranian or North Korean state actors, but they will be targeted by cybercriminals.
