If a website ever tells you to press Windows Key + R, close the tab.

That single instruction is the giveaway for a fast-growing scam called ClickFix, which has been behind a wave of infostealer infections all year.

An infostealer is malware that scrapes every saved password, browser cookie, session token, and stored credit card...

You click a Google result that takes you to a hacked website.

A fake CAPTCHA pops up and tells you to press Windows Key + R, then Ctrl + V, then Enter to verify you're human.

The second you hit Enter, you've installed malware on your own machine.

This attack slips past most security tools because you run the command yourself.

No file was downloaded, so antivirus has nothing to scan.

The browser shows no warning.

From the operating system's perspective, you typed a command into a Windows utility, the same as any admin doing real work.

A few things you can do this week:

▶️ Tell your team that if any website prompts the user to press Win+R or paste something into the Run box, they should close the tab and report it.

▶️ Restrict PowerShell for non-IT staff using AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control. Most office employees have no work reason to run PowerShell scripts.

▶️ Make sure your endpoint protection is doing behavioral monitoring and not just signature scanning. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and most modern EDR tools have detection rules specifically for this attack chain.

There's no shame in falling for a fake CAPTCHA. They're designed to look real. But once your team knows the keystroke trick, this scam stops working on them.

A new AI named Claude Mythos has begun autonomously finding zero-day security flaws across major systems. The speed of digital threats is officially moving faster than human patch cycles. Is your business security ready for the era of autonomous attacks?

The exploit gap is closing, and your patch cycle wasn't built for this - Help Net Security AI vulnerability discovery is outrunning patch cycles. A cybersecurity coalition explains what Mythos means for defenders and what to do.

When someone leaves your business, their access should leave with them.

But often, accounts are missed.

An old login here, a forgotten app there… suddenly someone who no longer works for you could still get into your systems.

If you’re not completely sure that every account has been removed, it’s time to check…

There’s a security story doing the rounds right now that’s needs your attention… especially if your phone holds anything important 📱

Researchers have demonstrated a way to pull sensitive data from certain Android phones in under a minute.

And it’s not as far-fetched as it might sound.

They focused on devices using chips from MediaTek, which are found in a surprisingly large number of Android phones.

The technique they used doesn’t involve tricking someone into clicking a link or installing anything. Instead, it works at a deeper level of the device.

They connected to the phone via USB while it was powered down and accessed a part of the system that’s supposed to keep sensitive data safe.

This area, often described as a “secure zone”, is where things like encryption keys and PIN protection are handled.

From there, they were able to extract those keys, unlock the phone’s storage outside of Android, and work out the PIN.

Once that’s done, the contents of the device become accessible. Messages, photos, files, and even things like crypto wallet data 😱

Now, rest assured, this isn’t something that can be done remotely. Someone would need physical access to the phone and the right tools.

But that doesn’t make it a niche risk.

Phones get lost, stolen, or left unattended all the time, and that’s where this kind of weakness becomes relevant.

What this really highlights is how much trust we place in our phones without thinking about what’s underneath.
