Meet Attack Reduction: Closing the Door on ClickFix

ClickFix is a social engineering technique that deceives users into pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog. Huntress ESPM includes an Attack Reduction feature designed to prevent this attack vector.

Why it matters: Security teams defending Windows endpoints need awareness of ClickFix as a delivery mechanism for malware and tools to block command execution via Run dialog to reduce successful attacks.
