Clicking Off Clickjacking
I had never heard of clickjacking before, but judging by the name, I knew
it
had to be bad.
Apparently, clickjacking is where a hacker gets a user to click a link. Unlike
phishing, where the hacker tries to get you to go to a site you think is legit
(just this morning, Bank of America asked me to reset my site key -- or at least
it looked like Bank of America), clickjackers get you to click on something
you barely notice. Once you do, they can lead you to a site of their own choosing
or making.
The bad news? Pretty much all browsers are vulnerable, as is Flash.
