Modern phishing attacks have evolved far beyond misspelled domains and fake login pages. Attackers now use ClickFix (tricking users into running malicious terminal commands via fake CAPTCHAs), Browser-in-the-Browser (BitB) attacks that render convincing fake browser windows inside real pages, OAuth consent phishing (ConsentFix) that steals authorization codes without ever asking for a password, device code phishing that abuses legitimate OAuth flows to authorize attacker devices, and fake video conference overlays that prompt malware downloads under the guise of driver updates. Each technique systematically eliminates traditional red flags, weaponizing users' own habits and trusted infrastructure against them. Huntress SAT offers simulated scenarios replicating these exact tactics to build behavioral muscle memory before users encounter the real thing.
