CrashFix Browser Extension Campaign
CrashFix is an active and highly deceptive browser-based malware campaign that abuses a malicious Google Chrome extension to deliberately crash users’ browsers and socially engineer them into executing attacker-supplied commands. The campaign ultimately delivers a previously undocumented Windows remote access trojan known as ModeloRAT. The activity has been attributed to a traffic distribution and access-brokering operation tracked as KongTuke, also known by aliases such as TAG-124 and 404 TDS. Publicly documented in January 2026 by Huntress, this campaign represents an evolution of ClickFix-style attacks, weaponizing user frustration and trust in legitimate platforms to gain execution on corporate systems.
