Also known as "Scripting by Access".

The very nice util - WebWasher - that I've been shamelessly recommending ;)

"Click Jacking" (more formerly known as "UI Redressing" is the process where
you hide a page with links in an HTML layer behind another page.  So when
the user loads the page and thinks they are clicking on Punch the Monkey,
they are really clicking links to give someone access to their eBay account
or something similarly nefarious.

Check out this demo:

Fortunately, the NoScript add-on for Firefox comes with protection against
this sort of attack.  And it works whether or not you have scripting enabled
on a page.
