"Clickjacking" threatens Internet security

A number of new Internet security threats have surfaced in the form of "clickjacking," meaning that users may click on a malicious link without even knowing it was there to begin with.  Unlike some threats, this one will impact every major browser. 

Researchers have held back on releasing too many specific details about the new discovery, so that a solution can be fabricated before things get worse. They believe that only browser vendors can correct the flaw effectively, but there is no word yet if these warnings are being taken seriously.
