Clickjacking: Browsing under threat


Clickjacking enables an attacker to force a user click on an invisible link, obviously without his knowledge or consent. Once a user clicks the link unknowingly, the hacker takes over the control.

So while you might think you are clicking on your bank funds transfer link, or saving a favourite URL link at Digg, or some innocuous Facebook application, the reality could be entirely different, and dark.

This is really bad but for online security you can use any good link scanner like AVG and there are few plugin's for firefox which you can install to check repo of any weblink before opning it

I have tested it. Last time I checked a suspicious website. And it showed me the list of all the threats in that website with full details. Its really great.

It will also show what kind of damage those threats can do or which part(file, registry. etc) of the system will get infected.
