🚨 ClickFix Is Winning Right Now. MSPs Need to Treat It Like a Tier-1 Delivery Threat.

ClickFix has become one of the most common malware delivery methods in 2026 because it bypasses the normal technical choke points MSPs rely on and instead turns end users into the execution mechanism. Recent reporting indicates the technique dominated malware delivery in the March-May 2026 period and should no longer be treated as an emerging tactic or edge-case curiosity…

🔴 Veil#Drop Fileless Blogspot Chain Deploys PureLog Infostealer In Memory (07/01/26)

Threat researchers have detailed a new campaign dubbed Veil#Drop that abuses compromised websites, Windows Script Host, and Google’s Blogspot platform to deliver the PureLog Stealer entirely in memory, leaving few artifacts on disk for traditional antivirus to catch. The attack begins when a victim opens what looks like a PDF but is actually a script; that script launches PowerShell with security checks disabled, then pulls multiple XOR‑encoded stages from attacker‑controlled Blogspot pages and reconstructs .NET assemblies directly in memory. MSPs should treat any unexpected “document” that triggers script execution as suspicious, monitor for PowerShell reaching out to Blogspot and spawning LOLBINs, tighten controls around Windows Script Host, and implement strong credential hygiene and token revocation workflows to reduce the blast radius when infostealers like PureLog land. » More Info

🔴 InfernoGrabber AI-Built Browser Ransomware Abuses Chromium File System Access API (07/01/26)

Check Point researchers have analyzed a Python Flask application, InfernoGrabber v9.0, generated by the DeepSeek LLM that turns a fake “Discord avatar AI upscaler” website into a combined infostealer and browser‑native ransomware toolkit, running entirely inside Chromium‑based browsers on Windows and Android. Organizations and MSPs should respond by hardening the delivery layer (especially Chromium‑based browsers), treating every file‑access prompt as a security decision, limiting which devices and users can grant browser file system access, and monitoring for suspicious use of the File System Access API alongside aggressive credential and token hygiene to blunt the impact of any AI‑generated infostealer components. » More Info
