Investigating a ClickFix Intrusion
ClickFix has become one of the most successful and widely deployed social engineering tactics. It effectively tricks users into executing malicious code by mimicking legitimate software update prompts or browser error messages.
In this exercise,  you'll use the Elastic Search AI assistant and the case management software to identify the techniques, tactics and procedures related to a ClickFix intrusion without having to write a single line of KQL.
Immersive
With unmatched industry experience and expertise from the brightest minds in cybersecurity, Immersive helps your people defend, respond, and recover against the most damaging cyber threats, from AI-enabled voice attacks to zero-day exploits, cloud misconfigurations, application vulnerabilities, and ransomware.
Our unified SaaS platform prepares teams with realistic drills and micro-exercises, builds capability through hands-on labs, benchmarks performance against peers and frameworks, and reports progress to stakeholders - so your workforce is ready for tomorrow’s threats.
How Immersive Works With Elastic‍
- Hands-on labs, zero friction: Analysts learn best by doing. With Immersive, your teams drop directly into real SOC scenarios powered by Elastic, so analysts can move off the slideshows and spreadsheets, and into a live environment. No setup, no configuration, just immediate exposure to the tools they actually use in production.
- Learn Elastic by adopting the attacker’s mindset: Immersive's scenarios are built around and reflect real adversary behavior, giving analysts strategic insight into not just how to use Elastic's AI assistant, but why each query and investigation decision matters.Â
- From check box training to continuous readiness: Together, Immersive and Elastic go beyond one-off training. They enable organizations to build a structured, ongoing readiness program that benchmarks team capability, tracks progress, and ensures your SOC stays ahead of evolving threats.

Ready To Test Your ClickFix Skills?
In this lab, you will step into the role of a SOC analyst to investigate a simulated ClickFix intrusion—a highly prevalent social engineering tactic. After receiving an alert in your case management system, you will leverage the Elastic AI assistant to hunt through logs and identify critical signs of the attack. Your mission is to answer key investigative questions and extract Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to be delivered to the on-duty CIRT analyst for final review.
What you will experience:
