Opera rolls out Paste Protect feature to fight ClickFix attacks

Opera has introduced Paste Protect, a security feature designed to block ClickFix-style attacks that trick users into executing malicious commands through social engineering.

ClickFix is a widely used technique where victims are deceived into copying dangerous code or commands to the clipboard and then executing them in the command-line interface.

Typically, the ruse is a verification process or some form of problem-fixing instructions. However, they are only designed to trick the target into performing dangerous actions.
