Flowchart showing the ShadowCaptcha attack chain: A user visits a compromised WordPress site, which redirects through analyzawave.com and analyticsnoden.com to a ClickFix campaign site. From there, three attack paths emerge—InfoStealer via verify.msi and DLL side loading, Ransomware via a payload.hta file executed by mshta.exe, and a combined InfoStealer + CryptoMining route using misexec.exe, powershell, and a downloaded ZIP payload. Each path leads to credential exfiltration or file encryption, with techniques like process injection and use of the vulnerable WinRing0x64.sys driver.
