Double Trouble: The Perils of DoubleClickjacking and How to Outsmart It
DoubleClickjacking, the latest in clickjacking attacks, dupes users with double-clicks to execute sensitive actions. This cunning trick bypasses existing defenses by not using iframes or cross-site cookies, targeting legitimate sites instead. Cybersecurity expert Paulos Yibelo warns it affects many platforms, from Shopify to Slack, and even browser extensions.
