New Computer Security Threat - ClickJacking

Thursday October 9, 2008
I know. You were sitting around thinking that computer security has gotten boring. You were like 'viruses? worms? Trojans?...yawn'. You were thinking that spyware and phishing attacks are so yesterday. Well- Happy Day!! There is a new threat you can worry about: clickjacking. Robert Hansen, Founder and CEO of SecTheory LLC uncovered the details of these threats working with Whitehat Security's Jeremiah Grossman. The issue was supposed to be kept hush hush while vendors worked to patch the problem, but after a proof-of-concept was leaked that exploits clickjacking Hansen posted details on his blog, including a dozen potential clickjacking scenarios you should probably be aware of.
