Hackers are using the "ClickFix" attack method to impersonate venture capital firms for cryptocurrency scams

Odaily reported that cybersecurity company Moonlock Lab's latest report shows hackers are using the “ClickFix” attack method to impersonate venture capital firms for cryptocurrency scams. Scammers pretend to be VC institutions such as SolidBit and contact potential victims via LinkedIn, guiding them to click fake meeting links and execute malicious code.

Meanwhile, the Chrome extension “QuickLens” has been hijacked to steal crypto wallet data and seed phrases. The “ClickFix” technique is particularly dangerous because it induces users to execute malicious commands themselves, thereby bypassing conventional security protections. Security experts warn that such attacks have targeted multiple industries since 2024, affecting thousands of devices globally every day. (Cointelegraph)
