Beauceron Launches Industry-First ClickFix Phishing Simulations

Sep 11

Imagine being tricked into pasting malicious code and running it on your computer—because you thought you were proving you weren’t a robot.

That’s the reality of a dangerous new phishing tactic called ClickFix phishing.

Instead of simply clicking a link, people are asked to prove they’re human by copying and pasting code into their Windows PC or Mac. IT professionals recognize this as a red flag, but everyday people under social engineering pressure may see it as no different from logging into a trusted site.

Why People Fall for ClickFix Attacks

These scams exploit a psychological shortcut called anchoring bias—where people rely too heavily on the first information they’ve learned and fail to adjust when things change.

Employees have been trained to spot familiar phishing tricks but not ClickFix. People lower their guard because the attacks look like legitimate processes from trusted brands such as Cloudflare.

What Beauceron Is Doing About It

At Beauceron Security, we know phishing defense means staying one step ahead. That’s why we’ve launched the industry’s first ClickFix phishing simulations, giving organizations a safe, realistic way to train employees against this emerging risk.

What’s Available Today

5 ClickFix templates that mirror real-world scenarios
A dedicated landing page that looks and feels like attacker tactics
Step-by-step tracking for link clicks and follow-up copy-button actions
Full visibility in the Phishing Simulation Report

With our Post-Click Survey capability, a first in the industry, leaders can see not only who clicked but also why, providing insights into decision-making that go far beyond standard reporting.

It’s not just about measuring who clicked—it’s about understanding why and helping them learn from experience.

What’s Next

This first release focuses on whether people will take the initial steps: clicking the email link and following the landing page instructions.

We’re already testing ways to measure if users would go further by copying and pasting malicious commands into their computers.

We’re also developing “FileFix” simulations, where attackers send landing pages as HTML attachments. These will allow organizations to measure resilience against another common variation of this attack.
