Internet Security
Click-jacking is a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. Vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a click-jacking takes the form of embedded code or script that can execute without the user's knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function.
There are more and more web users who got “cheated” by click-jacking each year but definitely, I’m not one of the “victims”. However, when surfing on the net often, there will be some advertisements asking net-surfers to click on it where the advertisement seems no harm. The advertisements that I often saw on web are something like “There’s a VAIO LAPTOP waiting for you!” some users might think that it’s a great opportunities for them to try their luck and see they really can get the laptop as they see no harms to it. There was once, one of my friends who was unsure if she really became a “victim” of click-jacking as she clicked on an unknown website and she even posted all her particulars as required by the site safely, nothing happened to her. She learnt her lesson and became more careful when she need to click on any unknown web.
