A cybersecurity researcher has introduced FileFix, a new variant of the ClickFix social engineering attack, which exploits the Windows File Explorer address bar to execute malicious PowerShell commands. This method tricks users into pasting commands by disguising them within what appears to be a legitimate file-sharing notification, making it a more user-friendly approach for attackers. FileFix highlights the adaptability of phishing techniques, as it presents a familiar interface to users while executing harmful commands.
