Watch How a "clickjacking attack" Works
Folks, how would you feel about an invisible element planted on a webpage being used to infect your machine? Steal your logins? Turn on your webcam and surreptitiously snap pics of you?
Does that sound far–fetched? Well, it isn’t science fiction. It is the cybercriminal attack called “clickjacking“. This video from TechRepublic demonstrates a “clickjack”, how easy it is for the hacker, and what you can do to protect yourself.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Yes. They really are doing this.

A New Twist…
Folks — a couple of quick “must read”:
BEWARE of “ScanVirus” – A “FAKE” Cloud Anti-Virus Service
“With the wave of cloud apps appearing on the internet, I knew it would be a matter of time before malware would find its’ way into the cloud…”
Twitter and the dangers of clickjacking
“Twitter users are, well, a-twitter about an innocent but indicative joke that some clever person just played on half the Twitterverse.“
• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
