English term or phrase: clickjacking
Definition from Economic Times:
Clickjacking is a phenomenon of hijacking "clicks" in a website context. It is vulnerability in the user interface of the websites. It can occur in any browser on any platform. As the name implies this vulnerability hijacks the clicks of a user on a website which effectively translates into leading a user click on something malicious or sharing confidential information details he is not even aware of.

Example sentence(s):
  • To ensure that your site doesn’t get used in a clickjacking attack, you need to make sure it cannot be wrapped in an iframe by a malicious site. This can be done by giving the browser instructions directly via HTTP headers, or in older browser by using client-side JavaScript (frame-killing). Hacksplaining
  • An anonymous polling website that prevents duplicate voting by checking IP addresses, for example, would still be vulnerable to clickjacking because it does not authenticate users using cookies. Javascript
  • This is similar to clickjacking – the criminal act of illegally subscribing customers to a wide range of content for a daily or weekly fee. South Africa is the second most affected African country by this type of mobile crime after Kenya. Cape Town etc.

clickjacking


Definition from Antagonist:
Bij clickjacking wordt een actie van een bezoeker, dus een klik op een knop bijvoorbeeld, ‘gekaapt’ om een andere actie uit te voeren dan dat de bezoeker oorspronkelijk bedoeld had.

Example sentence(s):
  • Door middel van clickjacking kunnen cybercriminelen gevoelige informatie in handen krijgen of ervoor zorgen dat slachtoffers op ongewenste sites klikken. - Ultimum  
  • Clickjacking is een klassieke methode die, zoals zijn naam aangeeft, de klikken van de gebruikers omleidt ten bate van kwaadaardige webactiviteiten. - Bitdefender  
  • Op zijn blog stelt het beveiligingsbedrijf dat malwaremakers een app, bijvoorbeeld een spelletje, kunnen maken die op de achtergrond klikken gebruikt om andere dingen te doen dan de gebruiker voor ogen had. Dat komt omdat het mogelijk is een schil over het besturingssysteem te leggen; met deze grafische overlay lijkt het dan alsof de gebruiker in het spelletje klikt, terwijl er op de achtergrond bijvoorbeeld allerlei settings aangezet worden. Dit wordt ook wel 'clickjacking' genoemd. - Tweakers

Yes  Kitty Brussaard: Inderdaad, onvertaald laten of anders eventueel omschrijven, maar dat laatste werkt niet als de vertaling compact moet zijn.
