Sharjah Cyber Security Centre's Dr. Greg Warns of the Growing ClickFix Threat

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Grigorios Fragkos, Cyber Security Advisor at the Sharjah Cyber Security Centre (SCSC), to unpack one of the fastest-growing cyber threats facing governments, businesses, and everyday users: ClickFix attacks. Unlike traditional phishing scams, ClickFix attacks trick victims into infecting their own devices by following seemingly harmless instructions. Dr. Fragkos explains how these attacks work, why they are proving so effective against even tech-savvy users, and what individuals and organizations can do to protect themselves. We also discuss the UAE's new social media law, including parental responsibilities, platform obligations, penalties for violations, and the suspension of accounts belonging to users under the age of 15. The conversation explores how countries around the world are approaching youth access to social media and the challenges of enforcing age restrictions online. Plus, reports suggest Apple could soon raise prices across its iPhone, Mac, and iPad lineup as AI-driven demand continues to put pressure on global chip supplies.
