๐ Clickjacking (Click Hijacking):
- The attacker tricks you into clicking on something without realizing what you're actually clicking.
- For example, they might hide a "Delete Account" button under a harmless-looking button like "Play Video".
- So you perform the action unknowingly, but it's still you who clicked the button.
๐ CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery):
- In this case, the attacker sends a fake request to a website on your behalfโfor example, to transfer money or change your email.
- You donโt click anything related to the attack, but it works because youโre already logged in, and the website thinks the request is coming from you.
- No interaction is needed from your side, it just uses your active session to perform the action.
โ Key Difference:
- Clickjacking = You are tricked into clicking.
- CSRF = You donโt click; the attacker forges the request without you knowing.
