What is Click Jacking?

A method used by an attacker to hide a button, or link, on a legitimate page, using other web content to mask the page's context.

Using well placed graphics, the attacker may be able to persuade a victim to click where an attacker wants on the page.

This is also known as User-Interface (UI) redress and iFrame overlay.

Click Jacking is not dependent on Java.
