Microsoft Threat Intelligence Identifies TerminalFix Campaign
Attackers use deceptive security checks to prompt victims into executing PowerShell scripts.
Microsoft Threat Intelligence discovered the TerminalFix campaign. It relies on fake CAPTCHAs that direct users to run PowerShell scripts on their machines. The effort targets Windows PCs and was reported through public posts by HotHardware. The posts describe how the fake checks lead people to execute code that can compromise systems. No additional details on specific targets, scale, or remediation steps appear in the available sources. The announcement centers on the deception method itself rather than broader impacts or responses.
