Over 5,400 hacked sites serve ClickFix payloads stored on the blockchain

A cybercriminal operation exploits over 5,400 compromised small-business websites to distribute ClickFix malware payloads retrieved from smart contracts on the BNB Smart Chain. The attack leverages blockchain infrastructure to host and deliver malicious code at scale, using the distributed nature of the ledger to resist takedown efforts.

Why it matters: Small-business website owners and their visitors face infection with ClickFix malware; security teams should monitor for compromised sites in their supply chain and implement detection for blockchain-based payload delivery mechanisms.
