Security researcher Paulos Yibelo has uncovered a new attack that targets users by utilizing fake CAPTCHA notification pages. This attack, known as ‘DoubleClickjacking’, is an advanced form of ‘Clickjacking’ tactics and poses a serious threat to user accounts. Unlike traditional clickjacking methods, which have become less effective due to browser security measures, this new attack involves tricking users into double-clicking. By exploiting the timing between clicks, attackers are able to swap out benign elements for malicious ones, potentially leading to severe consequences for victims. This technique, highlighted by Yibelo, is a concerning evolution in cyber threats and poses a significant risk to user security.
