Opera rolls out Paste Protect feature to fight ClickFix attacks
Opera has rolled out a new security feature called Paste Protect to combat ClickFix-style attacks, which rely on social engineering to trick users into pasting malicious commands into browser developer tools or terminal windows. The feature is designed to block such pastes, preventing the execution of harmful code. This update is part of Opera's ongoing efforts to enhance user security against evolving threats. The feature is now available in the latest version of the Opera browser, providing an additional layer of defense against these types of attacks.
