Clipboard Attacks in Chile: The Silent Threat Invisia Can Neutralize.
Protect your organization against invisible manipulations and social engineering traps.
Santiago, May 2025
In recent months, multiple public agencies and private companies in Chile have been targeted by an increasingly common and dangerous attack vector: clipboard manipulation. This type of malware silently alters the text users copy—often to inject harmful commands or redirect them to malicious sites. A popular method involves pressing Windows + R followed by Ctrl + V, unknowingly executing altered content. One notable incident involved the Chilean Tax Authority (SII), where tampered instructions were distributed, compromising operational systems.
Why is this technique so dangerous?
-
Effective social engineering
No technical vulnerabilities are needed—just user trust in their own clipboard.
-
Hard to detect
Most antivirus tools and firewalls do not monitor clipboard content as a threat vector.
-
Command and path manipulation
Attackers replace valid commands with scripts that install malware or hijack network traffic.
