ClickFix attacks skyrocketing more than 500% - Help Net Security

ESET’s latest Threat Report reveals a 500% surge in ClickFix attacks in early 2025, now ranking just behind phishing as a leading threat. This cross-platform technique deceives users into executing malicious commands, enabling infostealers, ransomware, and even nation-state malware. The report also highlights rising Android adware, sharp increases in NFC-based fraud, and a shifting infostealer landscape dominated by SnakeStealer. The findings underscore the need for security teams to monitor evolving social engineering tactics and harden user defences across platforms.
