  • Pagejacking (also spelled page-jacking) is the practice of stealing another's Web pages, keywords or metatags and misrepresenting their origin. The thief then embeds a short computer program that is hidden to a user, but redirects a user's browser to another website, usually a pornographic site. When users utilize a search engine, they may click on the stolen web page and are redirect to the thief’s website. Complicating matters even further is that page-jackers often "mousetrap" a user's browser so that attempts to close the browser's windows or to use the "back" or "forward" button will simply direct the user to another site.
