ITPEC FE Morning April 2020 — Question 37 of 80

Clickjacking — tricking users into clicking hidden UI elements.

The attacker overlays a transparent iframe on top of a legitimate page. The user believes they are clicking a visible button, but actually interacts with a hidden element performing an unintended action (e.g., granting permissions, deleting data).

Why not others:
- (a) Remote mouse control — not a real named attack category

- (c) Locking the mouse pointer — not a real attack technique

- (d) Removing a mouse driver — not a real attack technique

Key rule: Clickjacking = invisible layer tricks user into unintended clicks. Defense: X-Frame-Options header or Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors.
