What is Clickjacking, how to prevent it, and where is it found? To all these questions this article would help to answer. However, it is baffling to identify this method of hacking.

What is Clickjacking

As it seems by name, clickjacking is a technique by which the user is trapped by clicking anything. It is done in many ways by deceiving the user as the object they are clicking differs from what it seems to them.

UI addressing is another term used for Clickjacking. The process includes a technique by placing the user-expected interface under another transparent user interface. That’s why the user clicking on something interesting turns out to be malicious for their device and data.
