Clickjacking – Definitions

Clickjacking on social media is a type of cyber attack that tricks users into clicking on a hidden or disguised link or button on a website or social media platform without their knowledge or consent.

The clickjacking attack can occur when a malicious actor creates a fake or misleading social media post or advertisement that contains a hidden link or button that is disguised as a legitimate element of the page, such as a “Like” or “Share” button.

When the user clicks on the disguised button, they unintentionally activate the hidden link, which may redirect them to a malicious website, install malware on their device, or steal their personal information.

Clickjacking attacks can also be used to trick users into unknowingly sharing or posting content on their social media accounts, as the disguised button may perform an action such as “liking” or “sharing” a post without the user’s knowledge or consent.

To protect against clickjacking attacks, users should be cautious when clicking on links or buttons that seem suspicious or unfamiliar and should always verify the authenticity of social media posts or advertisements before interacting with them.

Social media platforms also employ various security measures to detect and prevent clickjacking attacks, such as content filtering and user behavior analysis.
