This is wild and new. Attackers have worked out that malicious emails pushing links to adult sites will solicit plenty of clicks. Unfortunately, those clicks trigger a fake update that installs dangerous malware on your device.
As tempting as it may be — do not click.screen hijacking techniques with ClickFix, displaying a realistic, full-screen Windows Update of ‘Critical Windows Security Updates’ to trick victims into executing malicious commands.”Acronis says “the adult theme, and possible connection to shady websites, add to a victim’s psychological pressure, making victims more likely to comply with sudden ‘security update’ installation instructions.” The attack itself hijacks a PC’s entire screen, “displaying an authentic looking Windows Update screen — complete with the appropriate animations, a counting-up percentage of progress and the appearance of going full screen.”The attack is executed entirely within the PC’s browser, and Acronis says the resulting screen hijacking “is something we haven’t seen done before this campaign, but the principle is well proven and goes back over 15 years.” ThePsychologically, the lure is designed to catch you when you’re on edge, clicking something you know you probably shouldn’t. And so when an urgent security update screen opens, you’re more likely to be tricked into engaging. Staying safe is easy. Don’t access adult sites from links in emails or messages or pop-ups. As with any other website, access it directly using the usual means. It’s not only fake porn sites trying to trick Windows users into clicking where and when they shouldn’t. A new campaign,, warns that an “infostealer is being delivered by an in-browser fake Windows Update, abusing the Fullscreen API , and using ClickFix-style lures to trick users.”has flagged a “multi-stage malware execution chain, originating from a ClickFix lure, that leads to the delivery of infostealing malware, including LummaC2 and Rhadamanthys.” In this other instance, it’s steganography — concealing malicious code in images — rather than more illicit lures that has been deployed. “The malicious code is encoded directly within the pixel data of PNG images, relying on specific colour channels to reconstruct and decrypt the payload in memory.”As ever with ClickFix, the campaigns are designed to trick a user into attacking their own devices. Never copy and paste or run code when prompted to do so by an attachment, a link or a pop-up.
