ClickFix has never been bigger, and AI tools are its most convincing lure yet

ClickFix attacks are surging as cybercriminals use fake AI installers, malicious search results, and trusted chatbot platforms to trick users into executing malware. Push Security examines how these attacks evade traditional defenses and why AI tools have become increasingly effective lures.

The End of AI Frontiers

Large language models remain far less efficient than biological brains at learning, representing knowledge, and planning, the post argues. A child hears roughly one token per second, reaching a billion tokens only after 31 years, while GPT-4-class models reportedly use four orders of magnitude more data. The Phi model series, trained on 10 trillion tokens, still trails GPT-4 along most axes. A Portia spider plans prey-catching behavior with a brain a million times smaller than a human's, and squirrels recall cached food after months, suggesting that existing models may be far less representationally and memory efficient.

Pwn.college

pwn.college is a free, hands-on education platform for learning core cybersecurity and hacking skills, maintained by a team at Arizona State University. Learners progress through belt ranks, starting with a 'white belt' and earning belts through practice. Hackers continue beyond the platform to 'brown belt' and eventually 'black belt' status, which must happen outside the dojo. The site powers much of ASU's cybersecurity curriculum and asks users not to post writeups or walkthrough videos of challenge solutions. It points learners toward CTFtime.org for Capture The Flag events and a GitHub list of wargames for further practice. The underlying infrastructure is open source and accepts pull requests, though some modules remain closed-source.
