What Is Click jacking ? How It's Work ?

Views:

Click jacking is a technique used by hackers or spammers to trick or cheat the users into clicking on links or buttons that are hidden from normal view (usually links color is same as page background).

 

Click jacking is possible because of a security weakness in web browsers that allows web pages to be layered and hidden from general view. In this situation what happens is that You think that you are clicking on a standard button or link, like the PLAY button or download button on an video or some stuff, but you are really clicking on a hidden link. Since you can’t see the click jacker’s hidden link, you have no idea what you’re really doing. You could be downloading malware or making all your Facebook information public without realizing it. Some good hackers make ajax keyloggers and put them as javascripts over their fake websites and when you open them they retrieve all your passwords stored in web browser and records whatever you type while the web browser is open and stores this information on their servers.

There are several types of click jacking but the most common is to hide a LIKE button under a dummy or fake button. This technique is called Like jacking. A scammer or hacker might trick you by saying that you like a product you’ve never heard. At first glance, like jacking sounds more annoying than harmful, but that’s not always true. If you’re scammed for liking Mark Zukenberg, the world isn’t likely to end. But you may be helping to spread spam or possibly sending Friends somewhere that contains malware.
