Protecting yourself against 'ClickJacking'

A malicious web coding technique that was coined 'clickjacking' (click+hijacking) in 2008 continues to loom across the Internet.

Clickjacking incorporates specially coded websites that present visitors with conventional buttons and forms that do something entirely different than what is being presented.

An invisible layer of code is what actually determines the results of the click, which means the user's click is being silently hijacked.

How do they do this? Is this only an issue for Windows users or should Mac users also be concerned? How do you avoid being fooled?

Listen-in as the Data Doctors explain this latest threat and how to side-step it!
