Cloudflare's CAPTCHA alternative, a widget that verifies visitors are human without traditional challenge puzzles, often spoofed in phishing pages.
Proofpoint says China-aligned TA419 has phished US AI policy experts since April 2025 with a proxy that captures Microsoft session cookies and bypasses MFA. Its fix is passkeys plus out-of-band checks on unsolicited expert outreach.

Microsoft's TerminalFix writeup shows the same fake CAPTCHA lure now feeding multi-line PowerShell into Windows Terminal, where it sideloads a signed binary, pulls payloads out of PNG files and leaves a reverse tunnel behind.

Cloudflare's Turnstile Spin lets a coding agent install both halves of Turnstile, a service handling about three billion verifications on a typical weekday. The backend Siteverify call is the part of the agent's diff to review, since a widget alone issues tokens nobody checks.

Sekoia's comparison found the two ClickFix services' injected scripts near identical, while the Exvicy subscription climbed from $1,200 to $2,000 a month and its panel count reached about 80 hosts by late August.

eSentire says a phishing kit called GhostCode used Microsoft's device-code flow to register three devices within 77 seconds of a victim completing MFA, and one of them stayed enrolled in Intune until it was explicitly removed.

HP tracked the campaign from April to June 2026, in which a fake AI crypto trading agent shipped a genuine Microsoft utility to satisfy Windows reputation checks before the DLL loaded beside it stole browser wallet passwords.

The 5% comes from one dev.to post's worked example, and it holds only if an attacker's hit rate against your login is near 0.3% and a stolen account resells near $20. At a 0.03% hit rate the same bill is half of revenue.

SyllogOS layers a Cloudflare Free rate limit, Turnstile and an in-app limiter in front of one login form. The author's own published thresholds show which of the three actually caps a patient attacker.

A week building an image SaaS on Cloudflare Workers produced nine failures. In the five shown in code, two come from the TanStack Start plugin's build behaviour and three from React timing and captcha logic that follow the code anywhere.

MayaBot only shows up in 2022, seven years into the operation, and one branch of the funnel ends in a phone call to a scam call centre. That leaves the search referral and the redirector domains as the constants worth detecting.

The chain Microsoft describes starts with a fake Cloudflare check on a compromised page and ends in a WebSocket tunnel into the LAN. Every gate that stops it sits on the endpoint or the egress path.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence says this ClickFix variant ends in Active Directory reconnaissance and a reverse-tunnel implant, giving a single tricked employee a route into the network.
