ClickFix is a real social engineering attack that uses a deceptive technique: compromised or malicious sites copy a PowerShell command to your clipboard, then trick you into pasting and running it on Windows. Krebs explained the basics correctly in a 2025 article. However, the specific claim that Gizmodo's homepage is currently serving this malware cannot be verified — web search found only a normal Malwarebytes product review on Gizmodo, not a compromised homepage. If Gizmodo were actively hosting a ClickFix attack, this would be a critical incident worth verifying across multiple outlets, but currently no corroboration exists.
