InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
A new social engineering attack uses familiar security checks to trick users into downloading malware via fake Cloudflare verification pages.
The ClickFix attack technique marks a worrying shift in phishing methods, moving away from traditional file downloads to tricking users into running harmful commands on their own devices.

The attack uses a fake Cloudflare Turnstile interface that looks real, featuring official branding, genuine wording, and dynamic Ray IDs to deceive victims.
Users often encounter fake verification pages displaying familiar messages like “Checking if the site connection is secure – Verify you are human,” which resemble real Cloudflare protection. This mimicry takes advantage of verification fatigue, where users quickly click through security prompts without careful scrutiny.
SlashNext researchers have identified a new threat that uses a clever method to evade traditional security measures.
The technique is very effective because it relies on user trust in established security providers and doesn’t need complex exploits or zero-day vulnerabilities.
The attack tricks users into running harmful code by pretending to be a normal verification process.
The campaign has been seen spreading different types of malware, including information stealers like Lumma and Stealc, and remote access trojans like NetSupport Manager.
The attack succeeds by using legitimate system tools with harmful parameters, allowing it to bypass traditional security filters instead of relying on suspicious downloads.
This method bypasses many endpoint protection tools that scan downloaded files. To read the full report click here.
