ClickFix Scam Uses Fake HBO Max Reddit Ads to Trick Mac and Windows Users

A cybersecurity threat known as 'ClickFix' has been targeting both Mac and Windows users through deceptive advertisements on Reddit. The attack recently involved fake HBO Max ads designed to manipulate users into compromising their own systems. ClickFix is a social engineering technique that tricks victims into executing malicious commands themselves, rather than relying on traditional malware delivery. The campaign highlights a growing trend of attackers exploiting trusted platforms like Reddit to distribute scams. Users who interacted with the fraudulent ads in the past week may have been affected.
