What is Clickjacking?

Clickjacking, also known as click hijacking, is a type of cyber-attack where an unseen malicious link is placed over a website’s user interface. Since clickjacking occurs when a hidden iframe layer over a legitimate webpage, it is difficult for a visitor to identify this cyber-attack.

Common types of clickjacking attacks include:

  • Login credential theft
  • Webcam or microphone activation
  • Invitation of malware downloads
  • Authorization of money transfers
  • Unsolicited product purchases
  • Identifying your location
