What is Clickjacking and how to recognize it

Every person or business using the internet will be aware of the danger of cybersecurity threats. We know we can protect ourselves by using different passwords and avoiding suspicious downloads. But cyber attackers are beginning to create more sophisticated ways of exploiting vulnerabilities.
