clickjacking
 n.— «Jeremiah started off with a brief introduction on what clickjacking is. In a nutshell, it’s when you visit a malicious website and the attacker is able to take control of the links that your browser visits. The problem affects all of the different browsers except something like lynx. The issue has nothing to do with JavaScript so turning JavaScript off in your browser will not help you.» —“New 0Day Browser Exploit: Clickjacking – OWASP AppSec NYC 2008″ by Josh Web Admin Blog Sept. 24, 2008.
