Do you think this Facebook page and its red and blue box test will show you some nasty secret behind McDonalds?
Well, let me show you the nasty secret behind this Facebook page:
This is an attack known as “clickjacking”, where you are tricked into clicking something you don’t see, for example “liking” something on Facebook. Unfortunately there is no way to find out about this except being suspicious about being asked to click somewhere and inspecting the page’s source, which you may not be able to. If you’re interested, please contact me. I don’t want to reveal the exact method here. Hopefully browser vendors are bringing a solution, though.
Chris Messina is writing about the work of Mozilla Labs for an Online Identity Concept Series. The idea is to convert the browser into a tool that connects all social online services while keeping the user in control. Read the vision; and be sure to check out the mockups, it looks really great! Do you think we’ll all be using browsers like this in the future?! If so, how distant is that future?
