The Holiday Season is upon us and that means that you’re probably planning to do a fair bit of online shopping and browsing. This year, online Black Friday shopping rose 8%, proving that more and more people are doing their buying online. There are no crowds, no lines to wait in to check out, and no need to move from your couch, so what’s the downside? Well, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are warning about a new clickjacking threat in popular browsers.
Clickjacking and Vulnerabilities
Clickjacking refers to the practice of maliciously tricking users into clicking on something different from what the user perceives. For example, as you’re online shopping, you might think you’re clicking a link to go to a store’s website, but instead you’ve just downloaded malware, or shared your personal information, transferred funds, etc.
This threat is real and terrifying – it takes advantage of your trust of verified companies and products and gives people a false sense of security. However, this threat is avoidable. Updating your browser and your software are two simple steps to take immediately. Unresolved patches and vulnerabilities are some of the most common IT audit findings, and they are some of the easiest ways cyber threats can infiltrate your IT environment.
