(Pierluigi Paganini – Security Affairs) The merchandise website of FBI director Kash Patel (basedapparel[.]com) was taken offline on Friday after reports that it had been compromised by hackers using it to spread malware. The malware was discovered on Thursday by “big time nerd” user known as “debbie.”. Visitors were instructed to copy a code from the website and paste it into their computer’s terminal, a social engineering method known as a ClickFix attack. Once executed, the Mac-specific code would download and install malware on the device. A ClickFix attack is a social engineering technique that manipulates users into running malicious commands themselves, typically by posing as a fix for a problem or verification step, ultimately leading to malware installation or system compromise. – FBI director Kash Patel’s brand website taken offline after malware reports
