Opera rolls out Paste Protect feature to fight ClickFix attacks

Opera has rolled out Paste Protect, a security feature that prevents users from executing malicious commands pasted into the browser console. The feature is designed to counter ClickFix attacks, which rely on social engineering to trick users into running code through console paste operations.

Why it matters: Organizations relying on Opera should evaluate this protection as a layered defense against ClickFix social engineering campaigns that target end users attempting to troubleshoot issues.
