In a startling development, hospitality honchos around the world found out the hard way that the new ‘ClickFix’ links in their inbox were not, in fact, the long-awaited IT support hero swooping in to fix that eternally blinking light on the reception desk phone. Turns out, clicking those links was more like inviting PureRAT into their systems for an impromptu data-munching feast.
As the managers eagerly swooned over promises of fixing ‘critical’ system issues, they didn’t realize they were soon to star in their own version of ‘Phishing Gone Wild.’ Little did they suspect that their digitally seduced credentials were being mercilessly harvested faster than breakfast buffets at a five-star hotel.
Meanwhile, cybersecurity researchers are rumoured to be in talks to rename the infamous malware ‘PureRAT’ to ‘PureRegret’ in honor of the victims’ experiences as they navigate the treacherous waters of compromised emails. Experts suggest that the hospitality industry consider changing their catchphrase from ‘The customer is always right’ to ‘The customer is always clicking wrong links.’
