ROMULUS Malware Server Leverages ClickFix to Deliver Multiple Payloads

Researchers at Forescout identified a malware server designated ROMULUS that uses ClickFix, a social engineering technique, to distribute multiple payloads to targets. The finding demonstrates that ClickFix has matured from a simple delivery method into a more sophisticated cybercriminal infrastructure component.

Why it matters: Organizations need to recognize ClickFix as an active attack vector delivering malware, not just a minor inconvenience, and train users to avoid clicking suspicious browser prompts claiming system issues.
