Pop-up window

This technique uses a script that opens a legitimate Web site in the background, while a spoofed pop-up window, usually identical to the legitimate Web site, is opened in the foreground. In effect, this misleads the user into thinking that pop-up window is directly related to the official page. In some cases, the pop-up window covers a portion of a legitimate Web site.
