The first quarter of 2025 has seen a significant escalation in cybersecurity threats, particularly through the emergence of the NetSupport Remote Access Trojan (RAT). Cybercriminals are now employing a method called ClickFix, which involves the injection of fraudulent CAPTCHA pages into affected websites, leading unsuspecting users to execute harmful PowerShell commands. This facilitates seamless installation of the RAT, which allows attackers full control over infected machines, including screen monitoring and data theft. The article underscores the evolving landscape of malware attacks and the necessity for robust cybersecurity measures.
