Jeepers. First it was ‘phishing’, then ‘smishing’. Now there’s ‘vishing’?!!
If a stranger approached you on the street and asked if you could unlock your phone and run a few commands you'd think they were a criminal or hacker, and you'd be right. Every day people are being fooled into click-fix attacks and it often works like this.
1. You visit a site and are requested to "verify" you're human.
2. A pop-up requests a user press Ctrl-R and enter commands.
3. Those commands, often PowerShell, pull down executables and setup remote access.
To avoid being caught by click-fix scams never accept advice from strangers and treat all sites with skepticism.
