According to Cointelegraph, hackers are using the "ClickFix" attack method to steal cryptocurrencies, with the latest two attacks involving impersonating venture capital firms and hijacking browser extensions.Cybersecurity company Moonlock Lab reports that scammers impersonate fake VCs such as SolidBit, MegaBit, and Lumax Capital, contacting users via LinkedIn to offer collaboration opportunities, then directing them to click on fake Zoom and Google Meet links. After clicking the link, users are led to a page with a forged Cloudflare "I'm not a robot" verification box; clicking this box copies malicious commands to the clipboard and prompts users to open a terminal to paste the so-called verification code, thus executing the attack.Moonlock Lab points out that this method turns victims into execution mechanisms, bypassing defenses in the security industry. Meanwhile, hackers are also spreading malware by hijacking the Chrome extension QuickLens. This extension allows users to run Google Lens searches directly in the browser, and after ownership was transferred, the new version contains malicious scripts that can initiate ClickFix attacks and steal information.The extension has about 7,000 users, and once hijacked, it searches for cryptocurrency wallet data and recovery phrases to steal funds, as well as scraping Gmail inbox content, YouTube channel data, and login credentials or payment information entered in web forms. The extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store. The ClickFix technique has been popular among hackers since last year, forcing victims to manually execute malicious payloads, affecting thousands of businesses and multiple industries worldwide.
