Well, yet another aspect of what I have presented in this forum has now
been addressed. More of the malicious activity we find spreading across the
Internet.
Click-jacking

From the article:
QUOTE:
With this exploit, once you're on the malicious web page, the bad guy can
make you click on any link, any button, or anything on the page without you
even seeing it happening.
[ SEE: Adobe Flash ads launching clipboard hijack attack ]
If that's not scary enough, consider than the average end user would have no
idea what's going on during a Clickjack attack.
END QUOTE
This is a cross-browser exploit NOT OS specific ... make an effort to try
to understand WHY it works, HOW it works, then think carefully about your
Internet usage AND why firewalls and YOUR PERSONAL SETTINGS AND USAGE might
be able to help.
Might also want to think about the other exploits out there you HAVEN'T yet
been informed of or have made the "news" [embedded code in video, music, and
other nifty stuff.....like using port 443 to inject things you wouldn't
normally allow or which would have been blocked otherwise...].
