pagejacking
(I) A contraction of "Web page hijacking". A masquerade attack in
which the attacker copies (steals) a home page or other material
from the target server, rehosts the page on a server the attacker
controls, and causes the rehosted page to be indexed by the major
Web search services, thereby diverting browsers from the target
server to the attacker's server.
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this term without including a definition,
because the term is not listed in most dictionaries and could
confuse international readers. (See: (usage note under) Green
Book.)
