You click a button that looks completely normal: “Watch video”, “Confirm settings” or “Continue”. Everything seems familiar. Yet something unexpected happens. Without realising it, you have performed a hidden action with serious consequences. This is clickjacking.
In the e-learning Clickjacking, employees learn how this form of digital deception works and why inattention is the biggest risk. Clickjacking involves placing an invisible layer over a legitimate website, tricking users into clicking on hidden malicious actions.
The course shows that clickjacking can occur anywhere: on social media, seemingly trustworthy websites, online shops, banking environments or even internal systems. Attackers exploit habit and trust. The more routine the behaviour, the higher the risk.
Through a story-driven video, participants follow Eva. What begins as a normal workday gradually turns into confusion and panic when unauthorised transactions and account changes occur. The story illustrates how clickjacking operates: subtle, unexpected and disruptive.
The e-learning focuses strongly on recognition. Employees learn to notice warning signs such as unexpected actions after clicking, misaligned buttons, disappearing pop-ups or websites responding in unusual ways. Delays or illogical screen changes are highlighted as potential indicators.
Prevention is a core theme. Participants learn why checking URLs matters, why modern, up-to-date browsers offer protection and why mindful clicking is essential. The course reinforces that professional-looking interfaces are not automatically safe.
The course also explains how to respond when clickjacking is suspected. Do not click further, do not test the website — report it immediately. Early reporting helps limit damage and protects colleagues.
The key takeaway is that clickjacking is not just a technical threat, but a human risk. By staying alert and taking responsibility, employees help prevent incidents before they escalate.
