From a Fake AnyDesk Installer to MetaStealer

A fake AnyDesk installer was used to distribute MetaStealer, demonstrating an evolution of ClickFix tactics by threat actors. The attack leverages legitimate software spoofing to deliver malware capable of stealing credentials and files from compromised systems.

Why it matters: Organizations and users targeted by ClickFix campaigns face credential and data theft; practitioners should educate users on verifying software downloads and monitor for MetaStealer indicators.
