A new clickjacking attack hitting facebook

A new clickjacking attack hitting facebook


Many times i have posted about clickjacking attack used in facebook. And i think it's not over. A new clickjacking scam is again hitting facebook walls. The spam messages posted by victims of this attack read: "Baby Born Amazing Effect - WebCamera" and contains a link that takes users to a page hosted at blogspot.com.  The page displays a video player thumbnail with a play button, however, trying to click it actually forces the user's browser to Like the page.
If you want to know what clickjacking is, read clickjacking introduction post.
Few days ago, face deployed a new mechanism for protecting clickjacking attack, but that system doesn't seem to work better. This new spreading scam is the example of it's faliure. 
If you are a firefox user, you can protect yourself by using NOSCRIPT extension.
