Facebook Clickjacking Scripts Hijacking Facebook Users
So for those of you who don't know Clickjacking is?, it is a method of
hijacking a users click in tricking him to click in to clicking some
thing else. In the past Clickhijacking was used to hijack users click in
to clicking on advertisements and make revenue.
Here is an example of a wordpress clickhijacking script that costs about
15$, that would trick the users into clicking ads without annoying
them.
However now a days clickjacking is being used for tricking users in to
liking a facebook page. As you might know that due to panda effect
internet marketers are seen to be more focused on social media
promotion. Therefore clickjacking scripts provid lots and lots of
benefits to people who tend to use black hat SEO for promotion of the
website and facebook pages.
But what makes this even worse is the people distributing the
clickjacking scripts for free or selling it. Recently I came across
dozens of forums selling clickjacking scritps on a very cheap rate.
Here are some of the screen shots which I took recently:
