Page-jacking
- When a few lines of software code, perhaps
written in Java, are hidden on a duplicate copy of a legitimate Web
site.
When somebody tries to go to the legitimate Web site, they end up being
redirected to the illegitimate duplicate copy. It's the illegitimate
site that has
that
hidden code and that immediately re-directs him/her to another Web
site,
often
pornographic. Typically it becomes
difficult for the 'hi-jacked' visitor to leave the site he/she is
hijacked to. If that's the case the surfer should close out their
browser by pushing (simultaneously) the Ctrl,
Alt & Delete keys, then clicking “end
task” when the appropriate program
is highlighted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagejacking
