During routine infrastructure hunting, CloudSEK TRIAD discovered Clickfix-themed pages delivering Epsilon Red ransomware via ActiveX (WScript.Shell) that silently downloads and executes payloads (example: curl from 155.94.155.227:2269), using social-engineering lures and impersonation of services (Discord captcha bot, Kick, Twitch, OnlyFans); the report includes IOCs, MITRE technique mappings, attribution context, and mitigation guidance.
