The Cuero Chamber of Commerce reported a malware/social engineering incident affecting its web properties after a customer noticed suspicious activity in an email sent January 26. The chamber said users registering for an event were shown a CAPTCHA prompt and then instructed to press Windows+R and paste/run contentbehavior consistent with ClickFix social engineering designed to trick victims into executing malicious commands on their own devices. The chamber stated that the Cuero Development Corporation website was the only confirmed security breach and that significant data loss occurred, and it believed the malware was introduced via a third-party platform (Shopify) used for event registration. The chamber said it could not determine how many people or organizations were affected and implemented additional safeguards.

Research summarized by Cybernews described a ClickFix social-engineering campaign abusing Booking.com branding. Victims receive phishing emails about a cancelled reservation and a large charge; clicking through leads to a fake Booking.com page with a fake refresh flow and a simulated Blue Screen of Death. The page instructs the user to paste/run a malicious script (PowerShell) via Windows Run, which then fetches and executes remote code, disables Windows Defender, and establishes persistence with C2 connectivity. The link is campaign/threat-intel reporting and does not provide a single confirmed victim organization or a bounded incident count, but it describes successful infections driven by user-executed commands.
