Facebook Clickjacking Scripts Hijacking Facebook Users

In the following post Hijacking Facebook Users With Clickjacking our guest author gave a detailed explanation about the idea behind clickhijacking attack. Therefore in this post we will not talk or explain the mechanism behind clickhijacking attack. The goal and moto of this post is to let you know how abusive this attack has been since past recent months.
