Have you guys heard of this word before? This is a new word that I learnt today, clickjacking. Clickjacking basically means a program, or software, or probably a virus that can autimatically click a particular button, link etc to allow access to the website. Wikipedia defines it as following, the word was coined by Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen in 2008.
Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking Web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous Web pages.A vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a clickjacking takes the form of embedded code or script that can execute without the user’s knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function.
I realised that alot of facebook application has this program embedded without the user realising it.
