Just when you thought users couldn't be tricked by simple click lures, Russian loader DOUBLECUP arrives to stage malware-laden PNG images straight into browser caches. This predictable scheme affected unwary victims who fell for ClickFix prompts, leaving them infected with CountLoader and DeviceManager RAT. Protecting our helpless workstations requires blocking malicious browser caching techniques and somehow convincing users to stop clicking on every tempting popup they encounter.
