Clickjacking

Clickjacking is where malicious coding is hidden beneath apparently legitimate buttons or icons, or under any clickable content on a website. This can happen on a legitimate website that's been hacked, or on a spoof version of a popular site, which users are tricked into using via links or emails.

The scam can take place on numerous browsers and uses varying techniques. It can be common on Facebook, especially when clicking to view video or picture content, and this can enable your account to be accessed - with false status updates and spam links being posted and your details stolen.
