24-Mar-2023Clickjacking is a type of cyber attack in which a website element is concealed as another element to trick the user into clicking on it. It can be used to steal sensitive information of the user or to perform actions on behalf of the user without them knowing. It can also be utilized to get more clicks on specific ads and boost ad revenue.
An example of the same would be attackers using social engineering to lure victims into clicking on the hidden link, often with fake prizes or enticing images.

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.
