Browser attacks without downloads. [Research Saturday]
Today we are joined by Nati Tal, Head of Guardio Labs, discussing their work “CAPTCHAgeddon” or unmasking the viral evolution of the ClickFix browser-based threat. CAPTCHAgeddon — Shaked Chen’s deep dive into the ClickFix fake-captcha wave — reveals how a red-team trick morphed into a dominant, download-free browser threat that tricks users into pasting clipboard PowerShell/shell commands and leverages trusted infrastructure, including Google Scripts.
Guardio’s DBSCAN-based payload clustering exposes distinct attacker toolkits and distribution paths — from malvertising and compromised WordPress to social posts and Git repos — and argues defenders need behavioral, intelligence-driven protections, not just signatures.
