Click jacking is essentially hijacking a click. This means that you will think that you are clicking on one thing, when in reality you're clicking on another. This probably doesn’t sound like much of a big deal on the surface, until you consider that you might think you’re clicking “submit” on your bank’s website, and really you have just given your username and password to somebody who plans to drain your account in the next five minutes.


The real sticky widget in this situation is that you could be clicking a button that looks completely normal and is even on a completely legitimate site. You can actually be on your bank’s website and still get click jacked.

But luckily I had never encountered click-jacking viruses neither my friends.

One of my friends had made an online purchase with his father’s credit card before as he had not enough cash to pay for the goods that he wanted to buy. He got scolded when his father realized that.


I personally feel that online purchases are not very secured as Internet scammers have been working very diligently on new and more interesting ways to separate you from your money or information. So, I would rather purchase goods from shops than purchase them from online.
