When a not visible clickable element is placed over another clickable element, the user is tricked into clicking on the not visible element.
Have you ever tried to watch a video from a dubious website and, as you press the play button, a pop-up appears or another tab opens in your browser? That is click hijacking in action. There are two common applications for this:
1.- Creating clicks for a marketing campaign.
2.- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, which undertake operations in susceptible sites on behalf of the user.
