He clicks on it, being euphoric and nothing happens. “It’s a problem with the site” he thinks. But no. A few days later Marco receives an email with a picture of himself in pajamas and with a message below: “I have so many pictures like this, I can spy on you, but if you pay me I will stop doing it.” (Clickjacking attacks may allow access to the web cam and microphone by changing the settings of the software Adobe Flash) Wikipedia says: During a normal web browsing, the user clicks with the mouse pointer on an object (such as a link), but in reality its click is redirected, unbeknownst to him, on another object.
