🛡️ uBlock Origin’s Chrome extension has quietly added protections against ClickFix by updating its badware filter list, blocking known sites used to trick users into copying & executing malicio...
@nprofile1q... This is a pretty misleading article, imo. Yes, uBO and uBOL have rules for "ClickFix." However:
Not new: The ClickFix entries are at least nine months old (actually older) per Git Blame.
What is present is a set of static domains and common URI patterns, but hardly a comprehensive protection against the technique. I would not call this a real control against ClickFix. The additions are random, based largely on individual sightings and pull requests of those specific instances.
Nothing even prevents the use of navigator.clipboard.writeText(), which is how the payload is added to the clipboard in the first place.
