BEHIND THE CAPTCHA: CLICKFIX, WALLSTEALER AND A HIDDEN MINER
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
A fake Cloudflare "verify you're human" page copies a hidden PowerShell command to the clipboard and tells the user to paste it into the Run box, which downloads malware into %TEMP%. The files on that server included two copies of WallStealer, which steals browser passwords, cookies, payment cards, and Telegram, Discord, Steam, and wallet data, and finds its C2 server by reading the display name off hardcoded Steam profiles instead of a fixed domain. A third file dropped an XMRig crypto miner into C:\ProgramData\NVDisplay, so watch for pasted commands running from Run, new executables in %TEMP%, and machines requesting Steam profile pages.
