New macOS security feature will alert users about possible ClickFix attacks

The article reports that Apple will add a macOS Tahoe 26.4 feature that warns users when they paste potentially harmful commands into Terminal to mitigate ClickFix campaigns — a social-engineering technique that convinces victims to paste commands that download malware, often information stealers. It states ClickFix was responsible for a large portion of malware loader activity in 2025, describes how campaigns evolve to bypass detection, and offers practical user mitigations (slow down, avoid running untrusted commands, type rather than paste, keep anti-malware updated).
