Opera adds Paste Protect to block ClickFix social engineering attacks

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Bleeping Computer ·

Opera has launched Paste Protect, a security feature that prevents users from accidentally pasting and executing malicious commands. The feature warns users when pasted content contains potentially harmful code, targeting ClickFix attacks that trick victims into running malware. Opera says the feature is enabled by default in the latest browser update.
