Webinar Description
What the event is about
“Anatomy of a ClickFix Attack: From Fake CAPTCHA to Full Compromise” is a webinar hosted by ReversingLabs, scheduled for July 21, 2026. The event focuses on the evolution and mechanics of ClickFix attacks—a sophisticated social engineering technique first identified in 2023. These attacks trick users into pasting malicious commands from their clipboard into Windows Run or macOS Terminal, resulting in a memory-resident payload that bypasses traditional security controls. The session, led by RL threat researcher Toni Dujmović, will dissect the full attack chain, from initial deception to the deployment of infostealer and backdoor malware, and will highlight why these attacks evade endpoint detection and antivirus solutions. The webinar will also present YARA-based structural analysis as the most effective current defense, emphasizing the need to target the HTML delivery mechanism rather than just the payload.
