Firefox add on blocks clickjacking attacks
Published October 10th, 2008 in Browser Security, Firefox, Internet Explorer Addons
A popular Firefox add-on designed to block scripts and plug-ins has been updated to stymie the new "clickjacking" class of attacks, the extension’s developer said today.
The latest version of NoScript, a free extension for Mozilla Corp.’s Firefox browser, now boasts something that Italian developer and security researcher Giorgio Maone calls "ClearClick" to protect users from clickjacking attacks. "Rather than relying on frame/plug-in blocking, which were already available, I decided to move on and add a brand new feature, developed from scratch, for people who couldn’t bear blocking frames outright," said Maone in an interview conducted via instant messaging.
