  • likejacking is clickjacking , but the unintended consequence of clicking something is that it 'likes' an app or something on facebook.

    you are on a website, and click on a picture thinging you're hitting the play button, and the next thing you know you 'liked' something on facebook, and all your friends get spammed with crap on Facebook
