Did you just paste something?What to do now, in order. Takes about fifteen minutes.ClickFix is a paste attack: a page persuades you to copy a line of text and run it yourself, in the Windows Run box or the macOS Terminal, usually behind a check claiming to verify you are human. Nothing is exploited — the reader does the work.
Defanged input works too — example[.]com and hxxps://example[.]com both resolve.
What to do now, in the order that matters. Nothing asks you to run a command, and stopping early still leaves you most of the protection.
Read the guidesEvery domain, address and file hash we hold has a page recording which reports named it and on which dates. Where we have since re-checked a host, the page carries what we found and every date we looked, including the checks that found nothing. Values are shown defanged and are never links. The corpus is downloadable and free to redistribute.

A derivative work, and deliberately so. Other people do the research; we structure it, date it, and keep it findable.
Every record names the publisher who reported it and links their original above the fold, dofollow, with no redirect in between. We never reproduce a vendor’s prose. Editorial policy.
A value is stored only if its exact string appears in the archived copy of the report we credit. That is a database constraint, not a review step. Methodology.
CSV, JSON and plain host lists, CC BY 4.0, no key and no account. Export URLs are versioned, so anything you parse keeps its shape. Data and exports.
