Internet sercurity
No, I have not encountered a click-jacking virus before but I know a friend that had encountered it before. He clicked it as he thought it was a link that was sent by his friend.
Click-jacking is able as it seems harmless features of pages can be used to perform unexpected actions.
A click-jacked page bluffs a user into doing undesired actions by clicking on a concealed link. On a click-jacked page, the attackers show a set of dummy buttons, and then load another page over it in a transparent layer. The users think that they are clicking the visible buttons, while they are actually performing actions on the hidden page. The hidden page may be an authentic page, and therefore the attackers can trick users into performing actions which the users never intended to do and there is no way of tracing such actions.
These are the things that I know about a click-jacking virus.
