What Is Clickjacking?

A technique where a hidden link is placed over a normal button, tricking the user into clicking it unknowingly.

In clickjacking, the attacker places an invisible element (often an iframe) over a seemingly harmless button on a webpage. The user believes they are clicking on something expected, but actually triggers a different, hidden action - such as approving a transaction or following someone.
