Likejacking is a deceptive and manipulative technique used on social media platforms to trick users into unknowingly liking or sharing content. This is achieved by hiding malicious code behind seemingly innocent posts or links, which when clicked, automatically triggers a like or share action on the user’s account. The purpose of likejacking is often to gain a large number of likes or shares for a particular post or page, which can then be used for spamming, phishing, or other malicious activities. It is a form of social engineering that exploits the trust and engagement of social media users for nefarious purposes.
