Fake Google Meet ClickFix
A sophisticated ClickFix variant that impersonates Google Meet video conferencing. The phishing page displays a fake "Can't join the meeting" error and instructs users to press Win+R, then Ctrl+V, then Enter to execute a malicious command that was silently copied to their clipboard. This technique was documented by Push Security as "the most advanced ClickFix yet" in November 2025. According to Microsoft's 2025 Digital Defense Report, ClickFix accounted for 47% of initial access methods in the past year.
The fake Google Meet page shows a realistic video conferencing interface with a popup stating "Can't join the meeting" and instructions to execute a command via Win+R. The malicious command is automatically copied to the clipboard via JavaScript when the page loads.
