Just last week an iPhone clickjacking attack was fixed with the release of the 2.2 software. The previous versions enclosed a CSS transforms bug that created iframe content and give the appearance as being part of the actual page.
The transform bug never had a chance to cause real harm because it was discovered early by developers who immediately alerted Apple. Word about the transform bug was kept under wraps while the problem was being corrected. Click jacking attacks are generally used to get you to inadvertently click on an advertisement or retrieve your password through deceptive methods.
