QUOTE:
'Uses a fake cursor to get the user to click on a Facebook 'Like' button. Could probably be used more deviously - perhaps cursor:none isn't a great idea.

Might take a couple of clicks to work. Also on OSX Chrome requires the cursor to leave the window and re-enter.

How does it work?

Hide the normal cursor, create a 'fake' cursor with an offset from the real one. Made slightly complicated because the Like button is in an iFrame - usually the 'fake' cursor would stop moving while the real cursor is over the iFrame. Solved by cycling show/hide a transparent DIV over the top of the iFrame.' ..

Fake Pointers seems like a good trick, however the normal Likejacking (putting a like-button behind another button) seems a lot more efficient.

That's a clever thing and your eyes might bypassed it so having some defense weapons must be prepare. Like NoScript and Zscaler Lifejacking Prevention which are designed to detect and prevent Scam tactics.
