That “Friendly” Prompt is ClickFix
ClickFix is a social engineering scam that uses deceptive prompts to trick users into executing malicious code on their systems. The threat combines psychological manipulation with technical exploitation to compromise endpoints through user action rather than traditional vulnerabilities.
Why it matters: Practitioners need to understand this social engineering vector to educate users and detect suspicious prompts requesting code execution, as it bypasses traditional perimeter defenses by relying on user compliance.
