Client-Side Request Forgery (CSRF) Attack
A CSRF attack is when someone tricks a website into doing something it’s not supposed to do by fooling someone else into clicking on a link or visiting a website. This attack can be dangerous because it can allow hackers to do things like steal information, change settings or even take control of the website.
To protect against CSRF attacks, websites often use something called a CSRF token. This is a piece of code that’s added to a web page in advance, and it’s kind of like a secret password. When a user logs in or performs an action on the website, this token is checked to see if someone is trying to trick the website.
To help protect yourself against CSRF attacks, you should always make sure the website you’re visiting is legitimate, and you should never click on links or open attachments from people you don’t know. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to use strong passwords and to keep your computer and other devices up to date with the latest security updates.
